    any mention of conditioning tests? I know Nate said he was probably going to cancel them.

    Not a lot out there right now. I imagine most of the media is still working on their stories. Twitter is the best place to get updates right now.

    This should make a lot of people happy as well.


    Gary Payton saying he sees a lot of game and confidence in Jerryd Bayless.

    Too bad it's going to mean fuck all for him on this team. KP loves him some "Blakey" :sigh:

    Seriously? Did you watch any summer league? Bayless has a lot of work to do. Love his competitiveness and athleticism, but he is not in the same stratosphere as "Blakey" or Miller when it comes to running a team.

    And while you're on the KP topic, keep in mind KP moved up in the draft to get Bayless.

    Apparently Gary Payton is hanging out. Says encouraging things about Bayless. Bayless has been working on the Payton scowl, that's for sure.

    There has to be a team rule against something like that, doesn't there?

    Augustin was gone long before the trade was announced. If KP hadn't wanted Bayless, he could have stuck with Rush.

    Yeah I watched all of summer league (all that were televised anyway). I don't think Bayless is ready yet, but I think he's got a future in the league ... I just don't think it's going to happen here in Portland.
