    Perhaps a lovely assorted fruit basket and a commemorative paperweight with the Blazers logo?

    If half the stuff in Quick's article is true then I'll eat Sly's hat.

    I have no problem with Wes and Nic - but where LaMarsha is concerned, I am with Sinobas.

    Did you listen to Neil's press conference? He pretty much confirmed it, with as much candor as you could expect from a GM.

    Olshey also mentioned the old PDX carpet in his press conference. Maybe he's going to send a roll to each player.

    He really did. It was strange how almost every rumor was immediately confirmed in 3 minutes

    Aldridge gets nothing. He wanted out and lied to the team and the fans.

    Matthews, Batum and Rolo were "let go" by the Blazers, and could have been signed to remain here. They were not even asked to stay. They're only gone because of Aldridge.

    OTOH, Steve Blake showed his loyalty, once again, by exercising his option, and then was shown, the door once again.

    What we need is a Steve Blake Appreciation night.:cheers:

    I actually think LMA needs some recognition. Otherwise, he might start crying when we beat the Spurs, yet again...

    Neil is going to throw a huge party for them.

    They bake a cake and have KP ice it. Then they play a game of move the needle.

    Hedo was invited. He accepted then cancelled.

    He must have been talking about an ass kicking when they come to the Rose Garden.

    Not just to you Sinoba's, but to many people who seem to be... "whatever...."

    Let's not have short term memory syndrome. This core gave us a couple of solid years of winning and having fun and putting us back on the media map. Then the Blazers didn't even offer anything to a couple of them.

    The Blazers have been about class from top to bottom and the absolutely classy thing would be to show a bit of appreciation for what they gave us the last few years. It was a solid core that gave it their all (most of it for most of them anyhow).
    Yeah, I might join in on the Lamarsha stuff, but he is soft. Doesn't mean he wasn't part of a team that most of us loved and rooted for at one point.
    I hope the fans in attendance when this happens feel the same and give an applause of appreciation.

    Also, what kind of message would that send to our next developing core if we didn't?....

    I say ease up a bit and a moment of homage is not going out of the way at all.

    We have all already moved on I think with this hot start, but it doesn't mean you can turn and say thank you for the past.
