Maybe so, but as the championship gets decided out west, you'll still lose to the Spurs for the next few years.Quote:

Jarret Jack might want to jet, same with guys like Aldridge and Martell Webster. Channing Frye might want to get a chance to start somewhere.
Paul Allen obviously has the resources and willingness to spend money, but it may come down to the players wanting their big payday to also include a better situation where they can shine, just like Joe Johnson leaving the Suns.
But, there's no doubt about it, they have a lot of great, young talent.
frye is a fuckn joke though....dunno why they need him and francis buyout
wtf dont they just buyout miles contract, and just keep zbo? seriously
Really. WTF, Sarver?Quote:

Realistically, the odds are that only about 50% of those guys will pan out to near-expectations. That's still pretty good. The question is going to be who will step up as a team leader, and whether McMillan has what it takes to get them to a championship.
I'm extremely impressed with the Blazers. That city deserves a good team finally. They have players that could be all-stars soon. Martell Webster, Jarret Jack, LaMarcus Aldrige, Greg Oden, Brandon Roy, Travis Outlaw, Rudy Fernandez, Channing Frye, and not to mention their foreign prospects and role players. Getting Frye was a great move for them because he can back up Aldrige and Pryzbilla (unless he is moved) can play behind Oden.
This team, if kept in tact, managed well, and develops good chemistry will be a nightmare in 2 or 3 years. It's just a shame that Darius Miles is a little bitch and won't play a team game there.
Is it me or does Oden looks like he is 40.
Has anyone started a bandwagon to get Travis Outlaw into a Spurs uniform? Splitter for Outlaw straight-up seems about right, provided the front office can work the $$$.
Trade Scola, f giving up SplitterQuote:

Pistons are done even they were telling you guys that you were about to get your asses kicked by us. Dumb ass Cavs fans and some of the media convinced themselves you beat the Pistons of 04 and 05 they are a shell of what they were then. Those Piston teams would have manhandled you guys. Spurs are still as good as they were in 05, maybe better Pistons are not.Quote:
