    Dear Valued Fast.Break Member,

    I want to thank all the fans in Portland for welcoming me. I can't tell you how great it is to be a Portland Trail Blazer!

    As a lifelong sports fan, I've heard about the history of this team and its amazing fans. In just a short amount of time in Portland, it's easy for me to understand your passion for this great city and its team.

    I was a bit nervous before my first game here because I didn't know how the crowd would respond to me. But from the moment I hit the court in warm ups to the first time I checked in, I felt a warmth and energy in the Rose Garden that put me right at ease.

    It's great to be playing for the Portland Trail Blazers. I can see all the history, the banners hanging in the arena, the championship trophy on display and the true support of the fans. There's no better feeling than to be part of an organization like this.

    The instant support I received has taught me something about Portland Trail Blazers fans. The other players have told me about your passion for the game and the emotion you all bring every night.

    I've played in every arena in the league, and I've seen fans that aren't as warm and supportive as you are here in Portland. I really feel accepted here and I want to thank you for that.

    I hope I get to meet many of you in the future. I've already spoken to some of you and learned about the great places to eat and spend time in Portland. I've also learned that we like the same things! I'm into video games and movies. I like to listen to music in my spare time and I love working with kids in the community.

    Coach Cheeks has been very welcoming and knows what it takes to win. He's big on looking to the future and says we have to forget what's happened in the past and focus on what's going on now.

    We're being challenged each day and we're willing to accept those challenges. I can tell you this, the guys on this team want to win and they want to bring pride to the fans in Portland.

    Again, it's great to be in Portland, and thank you for making me feel welcome. I also want you to know that I'm going to work as hard as I can to justify your great support.

    Go Blazers!

    I think I have fallen in love! Jk I really hope D-Miles has his contract extended by the Blazers.

    First off he had help with that letter.

    I get Blazers Fast Break e-mail as well, and never before had a player taken the time to write a letter. He says that he appreciates the support, but I think this letter was sent more to clear up some of the fans' skepticism about the trade. I like Dmiles, and hope he does well here. I'd like to see him in a Blazers uni for a while, but nothing is guaranteed. Maybe I'll even go see his movie!

    D-Miles is really learning a lot from being in portland, he's learning you gotta play your game above the rim and below the rim, you got to shoot and you got to drive. D-Miles will be an allstar next year mark my words.

    I hope he can make the allstar next year with us but if Zach didnt make it this year, it is hard for D-Miles make it too. Especially Melo the guy beats us last night desever to the all-star team. Unless D-Miles go to east...well i dont know if LeBron didnt make it last one it will be hard for D-Miles to go there. BUT i like D-Miles but i just dont think All-star is good possiblty .

    If he don't make the All-Star team he will have an All-Star type season.

    We were wise to hitch our wagon to his star.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Clearly written by his agent. What a phony. Can't believe we ever loved that guy. He was really just a beta.
