    Plumlee is making me eat crow. I can see a birdman type of a career.

    Oh, and Pendergraph is airballin' baby-hooks like no tomorrow.

    Plumlee was a great pick. I was really hoping to snag him in round 2

    Plumlee looks like he has a good motor. Those damn white centers.

    Damn white centers taken in the lottery. I have been all over Plumlee, and his brother Mason all off season, and you know that, Mr

    Vesely is gonna be really good. I am hoping Victor Claver still plays like him

    Supposedly the Pacers brass asked "who's the next Jeff Foster in this draft class?" and the scouts chorused as one "Miles Plumlee". He's even got a dorky haircut.

    Ouch. Not a good thing when you consider the inverse:

    We'll be playing our Summer League team for the NBA Regular season.

    Funny seeing so many recent ex-NBA players on the sidelines. Swear I saw Bo Outlaw next to Mark Price this morning, and I just saw Van Exel.

    Wow - the Wiz team has two key players - Beal and Vesely - and the Atlanta team of nobodies is up by over 20.

    Let's see

    1. Said expects offer sheet from Minny on Sunday if deal can't be worked out
    2. Open to everything, but it has to be in the best interest in basketball
    3. Drafted Lillard and Leonard for a reason, we will love them
    4. Offered Sloan the job on the spot. Will not do that for any other candidate
    5. Kept Hickson's Bird rights. If he is the same player he was in his 19 games for Blazers he will be here long term
    6. Lillard impressing everyone
    7. Leonard tougher and more skilled than thought (Matthews)
    8. Will interview 7-10 coaches in Vegas
    9. Still searching for a Vet 1 and 5. Will probably carry 15 players
    10. Seen offer sheet to show Minny is serious
    11. First coaching interviews on Sunday
    12. No offers from Minny that would replace Batum


    Archive up on Blazers.com in about an hour to see the real interview

    Well, since he's an assistant for Atlanta...
