    If they ever put up a statue of Wookee, I'll pee and crap on it.

    Fuck that Houston homer. He burned that bridge a long time ago. I'd pee on it. ;)

    This. Clyde has had many opportunities to reconnect with his former team and fans and has rebuffed every opportunity. He grew up in Houston, he played college ball in Houston, and he won a championship in Houston. As far as I'm concerned, Houston can have him.

    That Bill Walton statue is perfect for Portland and the Rose Quarter.

    Walton likes the Grateful Dead. I'm pretty sure LaMarcus isn't a fan. That's good enough for me.

    How about someone that did not abandon the franchise.

    I am with Wookee on this one.

    I do not think any Blazer player is worth a statue currently. Lillard is on his way to earning one.

    crapping on a statue would be way too much work...better to crap in a shovel and fling it

    Who hasn't abandoned us that is worth a statue?

    The Mikes, maybe?

    Over Shonely? No fucking way. He was here longer, much more revered and treated worse.

    About time for Portland to get the 24 Hour Church of Big Red to replace the 24 Hour Church of Elvis. At least Walton has ties to Portland.

    I'd make a case for Terry Porter given his commitment to Portland and his legacy as a Blazer...his work with JK, Duckworth and Brian Grant..I think Terry has Portland in his blood as much as any great Blazer could.

    So did Duck, Luke and BGrant. They all chose to live here after their playing days were over.

    I'd give it to Kersey. He was the heart and soul of a strong Blazer team and made Portland his home.

    If I remeber right, Schonley was mad at the team during the jail blazer era. Can't have that.

    More worthy of a participation trophy than a statue
