    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.
    I am a fan of #20 in the rafters, but #1 in our hearts and prayers...The Enforcer

    Sanders is 6''11" Cailin he is about 5 pounds lighter than LA so his size should not be an issue.

    All of that would be true BDawg except one thing Lillard and his anti bullying campaign, without that he did nothing wrong or at least very little. By not stepping in and stopping the altercation, he is undermining his whole campaign. That is wron...

    I completely agree. Pierce would bring a culture change. And we as a team really needed someone to help our young players through the tough times. Jeffires and Pavlovic were veterans who didn''t see much court time and from what I saw didn''t real...

    Joakim Noah has had his injury troubles. His crazy game and high energy make him a constant injury threat. What separates him from Oden and Rose (I had to just mention him) is his willingness to play the way he loves.

    Aldridge is not a diva. Dwight Howard is a diva. Allen Iverson was a diva. Kobe Bryant can be a diva at times.... LA is not a Center but he can play there at times if the situation demands it. If we have someone who can protect him inside then he ...
