    Text about some changes in our guys.

    DAMIAN LILLARD, PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
    Overall Change — 10 pounds lost
    Last season, his playing weight was around 200 pounds. Here is what he did to lose weight this offseason (via The Oregonian):

    “Lillard has slimmed down mixing his basketball workouts with swimming laps in the pool, putting the gloves on in the boxing gym and switching up his diet. The former Wingstop enthusiast is apparently trying at a vegan diet as the season approaches.”

    JUSUF NURKIC, PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS
    Overall Change — 34 pounds lost
    Jason Quick wrote about the significant weight loss from Nurkic (via CSNNW.com):

    “Through a series of offseason workouts that were closely monitored by the team, Nurkic not only shed 34 pounds, he became more agile. In the process, the lost weight should take pressure off his lower extremities, which became a concern last season after he suffered a non-displaced fracture in his right fibula that kept him out of the season’s final seven games and all but one of the Blazers’ four playoff games.”

    I don't get Dame's weight loss. He finished at the rim better than he has his entire career last year. Hope this weight loss doesn't come with a loss in strength too.

    I think he's more fast and add muscle. He's was the gym a lot this off season. I just dont know if he will be a vegan when the season starts.

    Wait, JuJu was listed at 280. Are we saying he's down to 246??? Or are we saying he weighed well over his listed weight? :dunno:

    The latter. Quickster said he was over 300 when we dealt for him.
