    RipCityDSCPL Could be worse, at least it's not Lonzo.

    Because you can see the forest through the trees.

    Sorry, it was late and I had just settled into my hotel when I posted. I realize now I either needed green font or to put a little more into it. I'm not a fan by any means. I had just seen that he was waived when I posted but nobody had mentioned it, and earlier in the week, people were saying he was available via trade (so I was surprised nobody said anything, at least as far as I'd seen).

    FYI, I had to look up his size after your post. He is listed as bigger than our PF (Aminu). Kinda strange (I'm not a huge fan of playing Aminu at PF, for the record).

    You said Terrance Ross. We assume you mean Terrence Jones instead. The latter was waived, the former was traded to ORL.

    But just like we can't pickup Sanders we also can't pick up Jones due to our cap situation, I believe, if they ask for a penny over the minimum NBA salary.

    Yes. Jones. The one that was waived. Ross wouldn't make sense (since he wasn't waived and isn't available since we're past trade deadline).

    Jones was waived, though. He gets his salary. I believe we can still sign him to the minimum (if he clears waivers). That's the difference between he and Sanders (Sanders would have to agree to sign for the minimum).

    The blazers aren't going to be claiming Jones or Sullenger or anyone off waivers or signing sanders. What we have is what we will see for that last 25 games

    Dude, you haven't followed my couple comments on this. Don't jump in now. I'm not suggesting signing anyone.

    Yes, but I'm also getting my hopes up, and I'm not sure that's a good idea! :)

    Do you believe in your heart that NO or Denver is better than the Blazers? I don't.

    Soon people will be able to put together a nice mix tape to the tune of "Kung fu fighting"

    Anyone follow this Shaq vs Javale McGee situation?

    I guess the Warriors actually contacted Turner sports asking them to stop picking on McGee.

    McGee and Shaq also went at each other on twitter.

    Shaq up to his usual 8th grade antics.

    Still its not like McGee hasn't done shit that deserved to be on Shaqtin. You tired of being on his little clip program? Then stop passing the ball to the freaking pop corn vendor...

    I have not watched TNT since the first week of the season. I cannot stand Shaq. He is OK in commercials, but a buffoon on that show. The chemistry with Charles is not good.

    I agree that it was better before Shaq joined the crew. Kenny, Chuck and Ernie are all great, they didn't really need to add Shaq and his adolescent shenanigans.
