great stuff from theirt side, thanks!

The Blazers as a whole are far more like my wife than like me in the sense of their physicality on defense.

Depends

Can you really do better than Marion with the RLEC? I wonder what GM’s and players think of Marion? He play’s pretty nice on TV.

im actually in 2 minds

on one hand you have a former all star who can come in and contribute straight away unlike raef, and might provide the veteran defensive present from the forward position we need. if it doesnt work we dont have to resign him.

on the other hand you have a player who is mildly disappointing, who was traded from one of the best teams in the NBA due to personality issues, do we want a potential locker room issue?

a lot to think about this deal

Hope not

John Salmons has game, but he’s a one man army type, who generates his own shots off the dribble. He’s also a volume scorer, unlike Kevin Martin, who can rock 30 on 10-12 shots and a grip of FTs.

Salmons also has griped a lot about his role since KM’s return; that kind of me-firstishness isn’t what this team was built to foster. Will he be happy with 6-10 shots a game within the flow of our (BRoy-initiated) offense? Unlikely.

So two strikes. And the third? He pronounces the “L” in his last name. That’s just weird.

Blazers Broadcasters Mike Barrett and Mike Rice re-enacted NBA referee Scott Foster's controversial goaltending call on Portland Trail Blazers forward LaMarcus Aldridge, who was defending Oklahoma City Thunder All-Star forward Kevin Durant, during this week's edition of Blazers Courtside. Remarkably, no one was injured during the taping of this segment.

OK, that should just about wrap up the goaltending discussion.
