    Those of you who don't subscribe to CNN won't mind that you can't see the games.

    As a diehard Blazer fan, I'm hoping that next year's team will be a high-flying bunch that is fun to watch, win or lose.

    If someone is slow recovering on defense, they won't blame age

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    The main positive to me is that we'll see how good Lillard can ultimately be. As I alluded to in another thread, this is apt to be a very Lillard-centric offense, focused on Lillard pick-and-rolls with Plumlee and Davis. Lillard was a star in 2013-14, arguably regressed a little in 2014-15. Now he'll have the chance to push his ability to the utmost and see if he can take the step toward superstardom. I don't know if he'll get there, but it'll fun to see him try.

    Guys will take the shot instead of looking for Lamarcus at the end of a shot clock

    We won't have to bitch that the preseason polls have us too low. That won't be possible.

    Longer Summer vacations for the players?

    We won't have Kim Hughes to kick around any more?

    We get to get familiar with some young guys who may later become NBA stars on other teams.

    Fans who harped on Lamarcus and Batum will have to find a new scapegoat?

    And with the CSN contract being up after next year, what are the odds they fuck it up again and re-up with them?

    I'd say that's a very good possibility, Root Sports is right there with pretty much every home in the Northwest having access to it, and no programming anyone cares about after the Mariners win 65 games a year, so of course they'll fuck it up and re-up with Comcorn.
