    Nice!

    Do you know own it or were you just posing with it?

    If you own it, will you present it to him when we play next and ask him if he would wear it for next season and beyond?

    Durant resents us and hates us. He won't play in Portland.

    Time heals eveything. That was a long time ago. Different management, etc. I think he is smart enough to know that. :)

    These guys produce chips on their shoulders. No matter how slight they may be. But ok. Then he won't play for us because we are Portland.

    I think he likes beating the Blazers, but to think he spares this city or this team much more thought than that is kind of stupid.

    He should actually hate Charlotte...all the guys who passed on him work there now except Miller who works for Nike...so Durant can still just sign with Adidas

    Meh. I think your making a mountain out of a molehill and I think Durant is mature enough to agree at this point. :)

    I think IF he believes this is the best chance for him to win a title, then the draft would not even be a thought in his decision making. That would be foolish, ignorant, childish, and just plain stupid.

    KP passed on Durant, not Cho.

    Can you dig up the Michael Jordan jersey in case we didn't sign Bowie?

    He cares about his legacy - he wants to go to G.S. and win championships on Curry's coattails. That takes precedent over "home" (Texas/DC), weather (LA/Florida), or any other consideration (PDX).

    If we were the best team in the league, he'd want to come here. We're not, he won't. Again, if we had Boogie along with Dame/CJ/Capspace, then he would at least consider us.

    If the talk about Durant wanting to go to Golden State is true (and they will be able to sign him if they want to) then don't get it twisted. The Blazers have zero shot - not because we skipped him for Oden, but because we're not good enough.

    Notice my IF is capitalized?
    Absolutely a big if. But what I'm saying is if we were in that position, I highly doubt he would go somewhere else in spite just because of the draft. That's just ludicrous thinking.

    Probably not a huge factor after 7 years. Depends on the guy.

    Durant may just be getting tired of smelling the stockyards in OKC everytime he gets out of his car....it's not like he's won a ring there

    What's even more ludicrous is thinking we have any shot in Hell of signing Durant.

    Durant wont even answer our call let alone consider us lol

    We cant even resign our main guy how the hell are we going to get Durant. Lets stick to the tier 2 players in free agency. Thats the only shots we have
