    here is a quote from the article. Not exacty how they are talking about Ant this year.

    Lillard cautioned that it’s one thing to show confidence in training camp practices and another to show it against a real opponent. But he said he likes the first steps Leonard is taking.

    I still think we need a bonafide veteran back up pg. Even if he's just insurance.

    I understand. It was just that Meyers was always gonna have a break out year. It never happened really.
    I'm personally hoping Simmons excels and the Blazers enjoy being the team that got the steal for once.

    Then there was the CJ Quote that went a little further but i agree.
    That was not the point though. A lot of things get said at this point of the season. How about we all just hope Simmons is a great player and all the hype translates into decent play on the court against NBA caliber players.

    It’s Simons not Simmons!

    Then maybe write that instead of "Simons is the new Leonar_"

    The Blazers just signed Keljin Blevins to a training camp contract. I'm not sure what the point is other than needing another body. He wasn't even good at Montana State.

    Apologies to Mr Blevins, but this really sounds like a fake name you would make up from the letters of your real name:



    Coming from Montana State, that's one guy who won't be fazed by being in a majority-white city...
