    The same guy said Boban has NBA interest but will likely re-up with his current team.

    NO! He was my fallback plan!

    That also seems pretty unlikely. If he doesn't come to the NBA it would be amazing if a much bigger Euro club didn't open their check book. Although it's possible he feels like he can only succeed (given his somewhat unique build) in a team that's built round him.

    Awfully quiet on the Blazers Summer League front. I picture somebody knocking on Olshey's office door saying "Neil! Stop sobbing in the dark! We've got to get about ten more Summer League players!"

    The Blazers must have cooties or something. Sheesh, it feels like nobody wants anything to do with our organization.

    Don't be so hard on the guy, we almost never bring up guys from summer league. It's not a great gig, it's simply better than nothing. Some people already have better than nothing. We've got some young guys on the roster, I'm sure we won't be hurting.

    It's funny: the very few guys who were mentioned for our Summer League team (Mbakwe, Thomas, Aguilar) were all just like the guys we've signed: low skilled, high-energy forwards. WHERE ARE ALL THE GUARDS AND WINGS?

    Winslow should be playing in about ten minutes, along with Josh Richardson.

    It's funny (no, really!) that our SL team is just like our actual team in that we only have a couple of players yet and we know that we literally can't play games with what we have so far.
