    I wonder why there's a hush on Ezeli?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Hmm, that's interesting. Thanks, I was wrong. Maybe I misunderstood the article I read.

    Well, I wasn't. But you.... Yes.

    But that was Festus in the background.

    The updated one came out today. The projections from April were as you thought.

    Luckily, there is only one plaid shirt in all of Portland, so there's no room for doubt here.

    This sounds more and more like effort on Ezeli's side to persuade Portland to sign him.

    If we get Ezeli and have to lose one, I'd rather keep Davis over Plums.

    Not sure what you mean. But I'd say it's entirely reasonable that if Turner was signed over dinner, and we are courting Ezeli the same evening, they'd be at the same dinner. Nothing to see here. ;)

    I wouldn't say that exactly. I think it's entirely possible his agent is wanting some kind of verbal commitment from Olshey about a number. He can then take that number and use it to drive up Ezeli's price with the handful of other teams that might want him.

    With that signing, I think we would Ezeli make the playoffs. Let the puns begin!

    Well, Ezeli saw first hand that we need an upgrade at starting center. And he thinks he's the man for the job. If he stays healthy, he just may be. I'd bet the only thing holding this up is the amount of cheddar we have available, and how to get there. I can't help but think the Blazers are working on a trade to clear up some room, to avoid having to simply cut someone to make the space.
