    I'm actually pumped about both of them. I think Turner gives us the extra ball handler that we were sorely missing last season.

    I'm super salty about Crabbe. He was probably one of my favorite Blazers of the past decade. Completely developed as a second rounder IN HOUSE, and to go from maybe waived to 75 million in one season is pretty incredible. And to think we are replacing him with 28 year old Evan Turner just makes me more salty.

    Evan has a hilarious personality though. I love Crabbe's cool demeanor too but I'll give it to Evan on this one trait.

    Pot tea? No wonder he signed so cheap.

    I like both of these signings. Ezeli's price is right, and I'm OK with the Turner contract too. The Blazers got better.

    That was an impressive introduction. Did I hear it right that he took less to come here? After he was asked about his knee/contract he mentioned it's not always about money. Either way I hope he works out because he's easy to root for.

    Festus is super well spoken. Someone needs to photoshop him sipping on a teacup and wearing a monocle.

    I want to see a TV show where Dame, CJ, and Festus sit around and talk about life.

    The only signing I haven't liked this summer is Comcast

    I like Ezeli, guy is here for the right reasons. Said mine is not everything, wanted to be here because our chemistry and how we play together...had mad respect for us in the playoffs...and of course the fans, he loves the fandom here...plus says his knees are 100%....we got the right guys this summer!

    I hope his knees hold up, because he's the perfect center for Portland. Great rim protector and will finish inside. He should really help our D if he stays healthy.

    I always feel better about adding guys who come across as genuinely intelligent and self-aware. Basketball production aside, at least you know the locker room culture and chemistry won't go to shit.

    He was one of maybe two likable guys on the Warriors last year and now they're both gone (Barnes).

    Festus... I like this guy.

    I like that he makes eye contact with the person giving the question.
