As the black widow said to her soon-to-be mate/meal, "There's good news...and there's bad...".

Put on your "Prophet" hat. Go to the day before preseason. Looking back on the days of summer, what would you say was the "best news" concerning the Blazers? The "worst news"? Is there another trade in the works? Who will survive training camp? What villian will sabotage the 'plan'...?

I'm looking for a serious answer but I know with such a loaded question and with so many jokers out there, humor may run rampant. That's OK.

Just give me your prediction based on what you really feel, not on what you hope.
