    Sheed was the worst Blazer ever. For real. See, Game 7, WCF. Throwing a towel in Sabonis' face, CTC, etc. and the resulting breakup of that amazing team. We've never been the same. He did more to do long-term damage to the franchise than 100 Raymond Feltons.

    Yeah, LaMarcus wouldn't commit to being here with the media. Neil should have traded him at the deadline for whatever the highest bid was.

    Disagree, I'm fine with him pointing this out. I expect all Blazers will be fine too. They'll see more than us the work he's putting in to communicate.

    Super impressive that Aldridge was able to turn a 67 win team into a lottery cellar dweller when he was done.

    He got Kawhi to give up and welcome being sold to Toronto.

    Far from worst ever. Did he rape anyone? Did he punch his gf? Did he get caught with a gun?

    worst blazer ever because he is uber competitive and blew up on Sabonis?

    your definition and my definition of worst must be significantly different.

    Worst ever because he was a choke artist at the highest level, set a terrible example, created a toxic culture that took years to fix, most technical fouls in a season ever, most career ejections of all time, was horrible to the media, horrible to fans, horrible to teammates.

    Yeah, he sucked in every important way. BFD he could shoot. Everyone in the league can shoot.

    except defense, and offense. Beside those things, he was terrible. If only those darn things didn't matter so much.

    But never raped anyone(Maclemore) or beat his GF(Patterson). Are you saying what Sheed did was worse than these tow guys?

    Nice comments on Yang

    "
    Yang Hansen impresses
    The biggest surprise of the draft was the Portland Trail Blazers, who seemingly reached to take 7-foot-2 big man Hansen with the No. 16 pick a year after drafting 7-2 center Donovan Clingan in the lottery.

    But in his first moments under the lights, his skill level impressed rival coaches and executives, particularly with his passing. He's going to be a project, but it didn't take long to see why Portland was interested in him. Some observers wondered how he will handle the pace in the NBA in the long term. But Hansen, who has said he's a fan of Nikola Jokic, is going to remain a subject of interest heading into next season, especially in seeing how quickly he can adapt to the league -- and how he and Clingan will coexist. -- Tim Bontemps"

    The NBA world as a whole seems to be very hyped about this young man. Generally optimistic and hopeful for him. I’d say it bodes well, because some of these people are quick to hate on anybody.

    I’m definitely feeling great about the potential future of this team.

    I actually think it’s kind of sick that China might sell more Blazer jerseys than L*kers jerseys in the next few years. I’d love to see it. Queue the Chinese rappers wearing Hansen Yang jerseys.

    Curious why you DON’T believe that? Curious whose opinion of LA you believed and why? You seem set in your opinion of him and that’s fine, just want to know what you heard and from who?
    This is a perfect example of people talking about local media and who they like and don’t like. Whose opinion they trust and why? I know for DAMN sure over the years I’ve read things that flat out are wrong, yet reported. I’ve told the Jason Quick vs ME situation and what happened on the radio and how fucked up it was! Flat out lies sent out there for people on forums like this to soak up and believe. Just curious about your LA opinion.
