    I know a lot of people think a player drafted after 30 doesn't bare much thought, but.... Patty Mills is a fantastic player. Put national bias aside (yes I am an Aussie) and the fact I have known Patty since he was playing under 12s in Canberra. This kid can flat out ball. He burnt Chris Paul repeatedly in Beijing and scored 20 on the Redeem team. He can be a spark of energy off the bench and his play making has been under rated by scouts that watched him on a St Marys squad where he was required to shoot more than pass. I hope Nate et al give him a chance to play.

    I agree completely about Patty Mills and I am also Australian but he is awesome!
    He is also very quick and agile. His on ball defence is exceptional and his lateral movement will help off the bench he is a great pick up at 50. GO BLAZERS
    I am a fan of 0.8 secs Brandon Roy and nothing but net

    He will get a chance to play his way in during summer league. Pooh Jeter isn't a great PG and is really there to just fill a roster spot. Mills will get a chance before Jeter will. I think you need to brace yourselves for disappointment though. If the Blazers continue to go after big name Free Agents, Mills will probably be playing in Australia this coming season for salary reasons.

    Claver will make a great squad player when he develops his outside shot. His size is an asset because he can guard SF and stretch 4s. If he can be a better rebounder and add a post move to his game we could be looking at a possible answer to our f...

    Oden was definitely the best pick coming out of high school and arguably ahead of Durant in the 2007 draft. But the draft is art not science and we really needed a dominant center at the time. If we can get Oden for a short term low-risk deal. Lik...

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