I could use a breather tonight. Since there's no hot breaking news and the issue of Kaleb Canales' coaching fitness can probably wait until tomorrow, I'm going to issue an invitation I have neglected for far too long. The main page posts are only the tip of the iceberg at Blazersedge. We have tons of quality reader-generated content in Fanposts, Fanshots, and comment sections. Why not take a minute to peruse some and join in a conversation or two? Here are some of my favorites currently up.
First, a shameless plug for the VideoCast. We've got a couple nice conversations going there, true, but my main motivation is the 12-18 hours I spend on these every week. It's a major new initiative at SBNation and we're proud to be a part of it, carrying one of the torches for the company. But dang, it's a lot of work! That said, we've gotten better and better as we've learned the medium and these VideoCasts are starting to be fun to produce. If you haven't watched one, take a shot now!
Other interesting posts:
- ThankYouforBlaze has a sure-to-be controversial Fanpost about keeping Wesley Matthews (or, errr...not).
- Calvinbp has a short take on Andre Drummond's lack of motor and how that would kill the Blazers.
- 420Phenom wants to quiz you about the Blazers' next head coach.
- Recent draft trade links include the Hornets for #10 and Okafor or Ariza, the Warriors sniffing around Batum for #7 (keep in mind a sign-and-trade makes Batum a Base Year Compensation player if the Blazers go over the cap to sign him), and Toronto shopping #8.
- If you're looking for off-topic fun and friends, you can always check out the Junk Drawer, the repository for all things NOT Blazers-related or discussed on other parts of the site.
Anyway, click around a little and reward people who put in hard work posting content. You never know what kind of brilliance (or...errrr...whatever else) you might find!
