    Kerry Eggers-
    The Blazer delegation took Faried to dinner at Oswego Grill Sunday night, put him through a 90-minute workout session Monday morning and then spent time visiting with him afterward. After the workout, Faried sought out every member of the Blazer party for a handshake and a thank you, a smile on his face.
     “That’s Dennis Rodman all over again,” Florida coach Billy Donovan said after the game. “If I were an NBA general manager, I’d be taking him with my pick. That’s what a next-level guy looks like. He just totally destroyed our frontcourt.”
     “He’s going to have to learn how to play in a man-to-man setting, but he has a lot of potential,” Ociepka said. “For us to improve defensively, we need a stronger rebounder and a guy who will battle and help (LaMarcus Aldridge). Guys like this can help you.”

    This guy has got to be OUR guy! I f we draft him, he's instantly going to be a fan favorite. How long have we wanted a power forward who does nothing but crash the boards consistantly?

    The Knicks and the Blazers are going to be both trying to move up to get this guy, but I think Allen may have a few fallbacks he wouldn't mind taking a chance on if his buddy Dolan beats him out for the prized energy player both their teams could use.

    I dont think Bucks take on Batums contract when they have an identical player with the same contract for Sanders. Sanders and Henson seem like the only untouchables on that team

    Paul Allen might sell the Blazers but the Blazers will never leave Rip City.
