This is getting crazy...this kid was projected to be a top 5 pick if he would have come out last year. I get the medical issues, and I get that back issues are typically a huge red flag, but really? Sully is a better player coming out than Dejuan Blair ever was but he is totally getting the Blair treatment. We should try and nab him with a late first round pick if his stock is really dropping this much.

Chris Broussard of ESPN.com reports that former Portland Trail Blazers center Greg Oden underwent an Orthokine knee procedure. -------------------------------- In an effort to revive his NBA career, Greg Oden recently underwent the controversial knee procedure that superstars Kobe Bryant and New York Yankees slugger Alex Rodriguez say helped prolong their careers, according to sources. Oden, whose career with the Portland Trail Blazers was derailed by four knee surgeries, had the non-evasive procedure done in New York two weeks ago to accelerate the healing process on his left knee, which was operated on in February. "Greg had long planned to have this procedure done,'' one of the sources said. "He thought he'd wait until his knee was completely healed, but the doctor said Greg would get the greatest benefit by doing it now because it would help his recovery.'' -------------------------------- Back in February, Blazers Acting GM Chad Buchanan said the procedure was something that he expected Oden to investigate. ed: text edited, bumped to front page

Can we just trade Nate straight up for Mike D? While I don't think he's a championship caliber coach, I think his system (as proven by Felton flourishing last season before being traded for Melo) would be a great fit with our squad. I, for one, would love to see what this team can truly do by running an up-tempo system...thoughts?

Remember when we didn't pick this guy? I really hope Nolan Smith pans out...Faried is filling it pretty flawlessly for Nene.

Surprise! We should waive Pendy and sign this guy, I hear he's got a lot of upside! (And he's a helluvan actor)

Don't know if anyone has touched on this yet, but it looks like Matt Barnes will probably be available via free agency. If Wes Matthews falls through, he seems like a prime candidate to fill the backup 2/3 role. Thoughts?

Here's a cute little article regarding season ticket sales. Way to go team! This is my first Fanshot, my apologies if I didnt follow the regs.
