    I don't get why Holdhal would be taking this so personally and getting worked up about it.

    I didn't think his response was all that bad personally. But, maybe shouldn't have been on Blazers team website. I dunno. Similar stuffwas said last season or season before about Warkentein being Woj's source. I dunno if it was Barret that was insinuating that one? Can't remmeber, but seemed similar.

    Well I'm guessing he isn't the one taking it all that personally, but instead his employer told him to write something as the team "blogger" (Kolde, Allen, Hat Guy?)

    Doesn't seem like he's that upset to me.

    You guys are still forgetting about PG players P.Mills, Armon Johnson and Elliot Williams. What are we going to do with those?

    Mills and Johnson both suck

    Williams is a SG

    So....who cares?

    Filler. If I kept one, it would be Williams, and we haven't even seen him yet.

    I think assuming Williams may be "filler" is a likely error, I think he's gonna be pretty good if fully recovered from his surgeries which were corrective.In this draft he could easily have gone top 10.

    I share your optimism. Then again, I'm always optimistic about Portland's newest batch of future all-star rookies. :)

    So did Oden's

    If this team drafts anyone with even a chance of bad knees they deserve to never win a title ever!!!

    Oden's pre-draft physical was riddled with red flags.

    Everyone looks better coming out of college. Wait until Kemba starts playing in the actual league...

    On the leadership issue, Jonny Flynn's single biggest trait coming out of college was his leadership, now look what's happened to him.

    Point is, leadership doesn't always transfer, especially when you're coming in as a rookie on a team full of veterans. Unless that guy is super good, do you think the other guys are going to want to listen to him?

    Besides, leadership can be learned. Great players learn to be good leaders, ie. Rose, Nowitzki, Aldridge etc.
