    Hello darkness, my old friend
    I meant he didn't have much of a choice in arriving there. Most people like their hometown, at least to some extent. A city is a draw if it pulls in people who weren't born there.

    I get that the weather sucks but it is the biggest market for 3 sports in that region...they have fans from Iowa, Nebraska, the Dakotas, Winnipeg Canada, etc....to a farm kid from Nebraska, Minneapolis is an urban mecca....and the weather is just as bad at home..when I was in high school you had to go to Minneapolis to see big name concerts...

    Clearly the Blazers will never manage to recruit the kind of billiards talent that the Timberwolves will.

    If only Fat Lever had ever played for the Knicks, Rockets or Timberwolves, we could have brought this thing full circle.

    If Melo were smart, he'd demand a trade to the Spurs....they could give NY Lamarcus and solve two problems at the same time.

    NY doesn't want LMA because he's A) old and B) plays the same position as Porzingis.

    I don't think that NY's need were the problem that riverman was referring to. He was talking about the problem of how to make Blazers fans giddy in their on-going desire for revenge upon LMA.

    Well, obviously a 3rd team would be involved, like the Blazers would take LMA and send Lillard, CJ, and Nurk to NYK.

    Problem solved.
