    I never cease to be amazed by the echo chamber nature of sports "reporting". Stephen A. pronounces that Dame should go to the Knicks. LeBron mentions how great Dame would be playing next to him. Suddenly, nearly every sports outlet is rife with prognostications about Dame being traded, despite the fact that Dame says he wants to be a Blazer for life and the complete lack of any reasonable trade idea that would return anything approaching his value to the Blazers.

    Now, do I think that there's absolutely no way the Blazers trade Dame? No. I think that they have about a two year window to put together a contending team built around him. If that doesn't happen, I think they could decide that his prime years cycle doesn't match the team's time frame for building a contender and determine that a trade to get valuable draft picks and young players makes sense. That COULD happen, but I really hope it doesn't.

    Almost every NBA player wants a rap album.

    I'm waiting for the first NBA player to form his very own heavy metal rock band and be the lead singer.

    Ran into Chief early this morning at PDX. Looked good. Said he was headed to Africa to play. Seems awfully close to camp to be heading out like that.

    Jack Kent Cooke's The Fabulous Forum!

    As Chic Hearn used to say. I listened on the radio to thousands of hours of his games. A glittering place.
