    He's been too passive in the past. Passing off wide open shots. It was nice to see him be assertive. I was really excited when we drafted him. I think he has a place in the league.

    I see superstar potential in Randle.

    Leonard actually showed a lot of potential tonight. I assume that's why he is still here, they see it in practice. Don't give up on him, worst case he could be a poor mans spencer hawes.

    Everyone is going to be talking about how solid Kaman is. Most under rated pick up?

    I had no idea Kaman was such an amazing passer. How the hell did we land him? I think the biggest thing in our favor is that all of the players legitimately seem to enjoy playing here.

    I guess I turned off before his scoring jag in the fourth, but to me he looked like an undersized no-defense chucker. Sort of JR Smith in a mini Zach Randolph body...

    Yeah he will be the steal of summer. 5 mil for a player of this caliber is awesome!

    I've definitely been pleasantly surprised with Kaman. But he does chuck quite a bit. Not really a bad thing for us in the grand scheme of things.

    If he starts running the point and dribbling around the arc looking lost and befuddled, that's when I'd start getting nervous.

    Was there any way we could have landed Ed Davis?

    Dude's been solid for a while now and LA got him for peanuts

    Probably, he wasnt really that sought after... But it wouldnt really help our bench play all that much. LA's team just sucks, and it feels really, really good to say that.

    He was sharp his rookie season, except for shooting. But that ended 1 1/2 years ago. He's probably lost all ambition and is pissed off.

    Yeah it really sucks because I'm such a fan of his game. I think it's best for the Blazers to let him go. Find a place where he could be happy. I would even recommend Spurs, where a coach like Pop can turn him around
