You mean, it looks like they're gonna sign Brandon after all? And I thought that 5th year was a deal breaker. Sure, he's one of the ten best players in the NBA and he's only getting better, but the short term savings are hard to pass up, huh?

Maybe this will be the end of the doomsday scenarios, though I know some of you worryworts won't be sated until the ink is dry on the contract.

For their sake, you hope that if they choose to go that they do well. Though I do have a bit of trepidation regarding this.

You knew it was only a matter of time before Roy would be asked to play for team USA. And with that comes less R&R time over the offseason to cool down. But these guys are still young now, thankfully. Should be ok for a while.

Channing Frye's turn to face Oregonlive judgement. I think we all know how this is going to end. I really wish he could be good and fit into Portland's system. He just doesn't. I am glad that he's gonna be sticking around in Portland otherwise.

Sheesh. Next thing you know, they're gonna say every time Greg dunks that it will only be worth one point.

Stu Jackson said that Ariza will not face any further punishment following the hit on Rudy. Looks like they're still deciding about Odom, however. He may get a game for leaving the bench.

Cue great vengeance and furious anger....

Looks like there will be three competitors for this. Kevin Durant, OJ Mayo and Joe Johnson. Should be entertaining. I don't know that there's anything Kevin Durant can't do when it comes to scoring, so he's my early pick to win this.
