I would like to make this post to seriously thank all of the people who have contributed over the last week.  Especially throughout the entire Hedo Turkoglu and Rudy Fernandez saga, and throughout the Hedo courtship process.  Many of us don't have time to scour the Internet in search of detailed reports from Yahoo, Hoopsworld, Twitter, ESPN, etc.  For those of us who don't, we have a great group of readers and moderators who consolidate all the information to make it easy for us to know what's going on at One Center Court and across the league.

So this Fanpost is for you guys.  Thanks for your tireless efforts.  Thanks for getting links up 5 minutes after articles are posted.  Thanks Ben for being a one stop news feed on Twitter.  Thanks Dave for calming us all from the edge when it seems like all is lost.  Also, thanks to all of the standard contributors who honestly should almost get paid for their work.

To all of you, I tip my hat, feel free to post on your feelings and thanks to this wonderful blogging staff that we are all blessed to have.  The Portland Trail Blazers are a great part of each of our lives, and following our wonderful franchise is made easier by all of you.
