    We talk bout this current squad being too deep, but the 99 team was 12 deep. I loved the bench with Jimmy Jackson, Walt Williams, Greg Anthony, and Stacey Augmon. The 80 team was in rebuilding mode and wouldn't stand a chance. Without Bill and Maurice, Rasta Monsta and Sheed would just dominate the paint. Let's not forget about JR Rider either. Off-court issues aside, he was the emotion of the team and always made the big shot for us that year. I believe our leading scorer was JR at only 13 a night..crazy.

    The 99 team really got Blazer Mania back again. It was so nice to finally get out of the 1st round. Their length, depth, and athleticism would be too much for the 80 team. Anyone else love it when JR would pull back his jersey to show his "heart"? Dude was crazy but I loved him for that one season..needless to say it was a smart trade to get Smitty from ATL.

    First off Damian- Jack will make a lot more than 4 million next year. At minimum he will get a couple MLE offers starting at 5.15 million. Tony Allen will also get many MLE offers so to sign either will take at least 6 million probably closer to 8...

    Unholy your failing to account for a few things. One Tony Allen has significantly outplayed his 3.3 million a year contract. He will get several MLE offers which starts at 5.15 million. So if you want him it will take at least that much probably m...

    Rookies are fine a team should be able to carry 5 of them easily. The problem with us last year was we had no depth in front of the rookies. Lillard and Leonard as lottery picks should have gotten lots of playing time, which they did. However, Bar...

    Thanks Ricky.   I''ll be watching @ 10.   Haven''t seen enough right hand from Shazamm.   Without the ability to take his defender either way off the bounce, let alone finish at the cup with either hand?   Second rounder at best.
