    Here's how it works. I post a question with a True/False kind of answer. Next poster answers True/False, can explain why, then asks another True/False question.

    Here goes:

    Oden wins ROY

    True. While I think that there's a better chance that he doesn't win it than he does, I think he is the single rookie with the best chance of winning RotY.

    He's going to start and play a lot of minutes (knee and foul problems allowing). He's going to block shots and rebound and be efficient offensively... and he's going to be on a team that should be improved. All of these things add up to him have a great chance to be the RotY.

    Oops.

    OK.

    True/False. Bayless will play more minutes in the 08/09 NBA regular season than Rudy Fernandez. And why or why not?

    False. I think it is close but with Nate falling in love with Rudy I think he will get more time. I think there will be a lot of pressure to make sure he gets his minutes.

    True or False LaFrenz will be traded this year at the trade deadline.

    False, I say the Blazers let him expire and use the money next season.

    T/F Martell Webster wins the starting SF job by end of season

    False, if you mean semi-permanently. I think he'll start most of the games, as he did last year, but the Blazers will go into the off-season with the position unsettled.

    True or false, the Blazers will win a 6th seed or better in the coming season.

    True. I predicted 82-0 this season, that should be good enough for at least the 6th seed.

    True or false, Darius Miles plays at least 10 games for Boston and goes back on our salary cap?

    False, there is no way his knee holds up.

    True or False, Aldridge is the teams leading scorer next season

    False, Aldridge will lose more shot attempts to Oden and Frye than Roy will to Bayless and Fernandez. I think Roy will lead the team in scoring again.

    True or false, Raef LaFrentz will be traded mid-season.

    Doh, lost track.

    True or false, Travis Outlaw will be traded within one calendar year from now.

    True. We drafted another TO who can play defense in Batum. We're going to need to cull the roster and Outlaw's value as the gunner for the White Team was mitigated by the arrival of Bayless and Fernandez.

    True or False, the Blazers win the Northwest Division this year.

    False - The finally free of Camby's overrated ass Nuggets win it

    True or False, Roy plays over 50% of his minutes at PG

    I'll say False, although its hard to say.... Bayless might play 1 or 2 on offense, but will play 1 on defense. Rudy could play some 1, and Blake will probably play 20 or so minutes a game at the one. So maybe not 50%

    True/False Batum contributes in some capacity this season

    False. Batum, at best, gets a few minutes here and there to take some lumps as part of his development in adapting to NBA speed.

    True or false, Oden will average at least 30 MPG this season.

    True, I think as long as Oden can stay out of foul trouble he'll play the bulk of the minutes at center. He'll be too valuable.

    True or false, Bayless will be the starting point guard by the end of the season?

    True and false. He will be the starter, but he'll play off-guard on offense while guarding the PG on defense. This offense is going to be run through Brandon.

    True or false, The Blazers make a roster thinning (at least 2 for 1) trade by the deadline?

    True. I dunno who and I dunno how, but I bet there is a more-for-less (quantity wise) trade. Raef's contract and/or the impending cap holds we have seem to dictate that it makes sense.

    True or false... Outlaw will play more minutes as a Blazer this season than Webster.
