    I mean, I'd go with Dorell Wright, but to each his own.

    And I think it’s weird that you have such disdain for Roy to claim that he hates the entire franchise and City of Portland.

    I cannot overlook all the good memories B-Roy gave Blazers fans. I really don’t understand why you dislike him to the point that you like… know how he feels about the entire city of Portland and the organization.

    Like he’s literally just doing it for CTC purposes.

    I’m glad he’s representing the team regardless of the outcome. I’d be glad to see Lillard representing the team like that some day after he’s retired.

    I don't think it's a coincidence that Terry Porter Brian Grant and Brandon Roy are around the team for workouts and draft...Brooks is interviewing with the Bucks..New G league team...it's all positive to me. I'm past the BRoy disappointments I felt when he signed with Minnie..water under the bridge. When I heard Dame and he had been talking oll these years and were friends I figured Dame's probably a good judge of character. I'm going to cheer when he represents and I hope all Blazeer fans cheer as well.

    Not true. There are odds for everything. If I’m shooting the ball with a blindfold on while standing at half court, and I somehow make it, the odds of me doing that on the next shot go way, way up. That’s what Brandon Roy is doing for us once again: trying to make a shot from half court with a blindfold on.

    It would appear odds that you lack an understanding of statistics go up everytime you make an additional post.

    Actually only if you say he will hit it twice before the first time. After he hits it the first time the odds are the same for the second shot before he takes it. Now this however starts to affect the odds if he continues to make it because percentages start to come into play. If he makes 2 out of 100 it’s fairly reasonable to assume at some point in the next 100 shots he will make 2 again.
    2% is 2% wether it’s 2 in a row or the 1st and 99th shot.
    I hope I said that right. Pretty sure someone better at odds will correct me if I’m wrong?

    I really dont care or think it matters who's at the lottery. Im good with BRoy and Id be good with Walton, LA, Bonzi, Rasheed, Jody or D Marang the local blazer insider.

    Not correct. Barring any changes in circumstances, like time to practice, your odds of making that shot are the same each time you try. Obviously, if you combine the events and compute the odds of making the shot twice in a row, those odds are drastically worse. But that’s not the case here. The odds of picking first when you’re in the #5 spot are 10.5 % no matter who’s sitting in the chair.

    Sheed? I don't think I'd want him repping the Blazers at a public function.

    He'd probably be the first guy ever to get T'd up at a lottery draw.

    I don't think we have enough information. Imagine that he's led out onto the court blindfolded, so he has no idea which direction the basket is. So he shoots in a random direction. If that goes in, and if he is told that it went in, then he can shoot the same direction again, rather than in a random direction. That would increase his odds of making it (vs. shooting again in a random direction).

    I think it would be more fun, though, to lie to him and tell him it went in, let him shoot again, tell him that one went in also, and keep giving him more shots and lots of praise until his arms get tired or he catches on to the deception.

    If Roy wants to be involved in SL, I want Shaedon going down to Vegas. Perfect opportunity to build on his footwork and balance with one of the best.
