The head honchos of Blazer's Edge will have all the Blazers-related trade-and-draft day stuff up-to-date on the front page, but I though it was practical and necessary to have one place where we can all talk about everything else going on around the league. So, please, put any new information/rumors in the comments and I will try to update whenever possible.

Best places for chatter: Twitter; RealGM; HoopsHype; ESPN; Yahoo Sports; CBS Sports; SBNation

see front page for newest rumors
