    From Twitter:

    "GOripCity has learned that the BLAZERS have scheduled a PRESS CONFERENCE for around 5pm tomorrow FRIDAY 4/9/19 'No INFO'"


    Why?

    To announce that to stem any further leg injuries, Greg Oden will have both legs amputated.

    Paul Allen's health?

    Just a guess by the way. I can't imagine them making a major team announcement hours before a game.

    I think that's right. He was supposed to get some news last week, and there was radio silence. Silence in this kind of issue means bad news. I think it has something to do with ownership/management issues.

    Nah, they are just having him put down like a broken down race horse.

    Actually, race horses are sometimes killed by having a metal rod inserted in their anus, and then being electrocuted.

    The Vulcans plan to recoup their investment in Oden by showing it on PPV.

    Allen was at the Clipper game and aside from being bald, he looked more healthy than I've seen him look in quite some time.

    From reading that, it is pretty clear that KP is done in Portland, and Nate should be looking for a job too. What's surprising, though, is that they obviously intend to tear down the team, trade Roy, and start over. Damn Vulcans.

    After ataining LEED certification, the Vulcan's are announcing that the Rose Garden will be destroyed and hauled to the dump.

    Part of a jobs creation program.

    Portland is the "slow food" capital of the United States? What an odd claim.

    Part of the Blazers "Viagra to the employees, be like Greg" promotion, no doubt.

    BTW - I think that the S2 forum needs to get in on this LEED certification as well. We recycle the same threads over and over - no matter what happened in the real world.
