    Detroit has been building round him for years.

    Well, he'd make us appreciate the team we had before we acquired him.

    Hickson? He averaged a double double in his lone full season in Portland. His PER would be third on the current roster, VORP second. There’d be a spot for him.

    Eyeball test, working from what I recall. I'll do some "stat" digging..... To the best of my memory, this is one guy that brought so much energy against us, and always beat us up. IMHO, we could use someone like that.

    For all we know, Olshey has. Just found it interesting that Stotts would actually admit that the Blazers pursued him and that he "had no interest" (Stotts' actual words). Normally Terry is very buttoned up about that kind of behind-the-scenes stuff.

    how did that subject even come up? I bet Noah was a priority over Gasol. Too bad, he would’ve been a good fit, especially now.

    We'd probably have a couple more wins too.

    I dont think we should go after players who didnt want to come to Portland anymore. Melo should be an exception because he a future hall of famer. If a player doesnt want to come to Portland, fuck him. Have some pride

    Dan Sheldon made a point to ask about Noah in relation to the Hood exception, asked if Terry thought he would be someone who would help with defense/rebounding. Terry mentioned the offseason inquiry, and then quickly shut down further discussion. It was like he realized instantly that he had talked out of turn.

    Interesting...

    I wonder why Noah turned us down instead of not playing at all or why he didn't reach out to the team with all the injuries?
