    Yes young talented players just scratching the surface of what they could become even as the team struggles to win games is intriguing/exciting to us Bball junkies, but whats also exciting is how this team is now staged to add more talent for the next era of Trailblazer hoops. Neil had managed them into a corner where they were capped out and financially committed to a roster that had no chance of contending. Boring isn't the word I'd use... I'd go with hopeless. If the young guys show real promise and they continue to draft well, hopefully Joe will be clearing the books as he'll have a window to add significant Free Agents to complete the mix. Free Agents generally want to get paid and go to a situation where they have a shot at championships. Managed correctly, Portland can become a desirable destination.

    All I know is he's having his album release party in Portland tonight...there's no movement on him being traded at all. He's here.

    I think the first homegame will be the test when Mark Mason calls out the starting lineup

    "ANNNND AT GUARD.... WEA..."

    *Puts his hand over the microphone*

    "This fucker is still here and I gotta act excited? No."

    *Takes his hand off the top of the microphone*

    "He's got the lowest number before it turns into a negative. Damian Lillard."

    *Packs up his shit and walks out*

    I think Jeremi Grant gets the final announcement of the starting 5 by Mark.

    Nah, isn't almost always SF/PF/C/SG/PG no matter what?

    It my be PF/SF. But I could be wrong about the whole damn thing cause I'm talking out of my ass on a hunch.

    Recently On NBA Today:

    Wojnarowki says that the Blazers and maybe even Lillard are prepared for the possibility of the veteran remaining with the team in training camp and even into the regular season. The Blazers could look to reevaluate the situation after the first 20-25 games of the season and see how they’re performing, in addition to determining at that point whether the landscape of interested teams has changed, Wojnarowski said.

    I wouldn’t rule it out. I halfway think Cronin may be dragging his feet to get to December and make one last try at a big trade that will make Dame decide to withdraw his trade request.

    I thought diphthong was a reference to when @THE HCP wears his wife’s lingerie.

    @THE HCP has never seen let alone worn his wife's lingerie but it's probably good to make him seem in the loop somehow!
