    The Blazers seem to miss them, too.

    Did Timelord get traded? Hospital visit, so I wouldn’t know

    I think his Timelord nickname is so epic everyone forgets he has a real name.

    Didn’t even remember he was on our roster. What sucks is…..WHEN he plays, I’ve been VERY impressed.

    Simons wont be missed as much as it may seem. The growth of our youth will compensate just fine.

    Im 11 day days from 75 and find myself more and more skeptical with all news and shit on the internet. I though Dame coming back was bs for a few days.

    Love that last video. But it didn't have enough highlights for my liking. So I made my own version -



    It's amazing how many of these highlights I remember seeing in person, or live on TV.

    I'm excited about this next chapter of Blazer history!

    After watching Jrue's presser, I'm so excited, I feel giddy. Seriously....

    Health.
    Jrue, Jerami, Time Lord -- real veterans for each grouping. The team salary structure is better and looking stable.
    Extensions for Toumani -- yes -- and Sharpe -- likely -- can play out. No worries, IMHO.

    Jrue, Scoot, Shaedon
    Deni, Toumani, Jerami
    Clingan, Time Lord, Yang

    Matisse, Rupert, Murray, Reath

    With the exits and the grown-ups and Dame and big swings in the draft-- I like this season.
