Quick on the KP situation
Quick seems to believe that Mark Warkentien is behind a lot of the negative press surrounding KP, and subtely digs AWoj as well. He also dismisses some of the crazier allegations, and seems to think that the Vulcans are meddling.
If Portland dumps KP for Mark Warkentien, I will not be happy. What a jealous wanker.
Greg Oden is apparently into "sexting"
And the photos have leaked to the internet. Photos are NSFW, obviously, but the Huffington Post doesn't show the naughty bits (I still wouldn't look at work).
Sorry if this violates the family-friendly nature of the sight, but the photos are all over the place, and I'm curious how the team is going to respond.
Blake Griffin is out for the season
He's to undergo season ending surgery soon.
Delonte West is a fan of Desperado
"Delonte West, a guard for the Cleveland Cavaliers, was driving a three-wheeled motorcycle north on Interstate 95 near Route 214 in the Largo area when he cut off a Prince George's County police officer, authorities said. The officer pulled him over, and West told the officer that he was carrying a handgun in his waistband.
That prompted the officer to call for backup, and investigators found that West was actually carrying three guns: a Beretta 9mm in his waistband, a Ruger .357 strapped to his leg and a shotgun in a guitar case slung over his back, said Maj. Andy Ellis, a spokesman for the Prince George's County Police Department. "
Rondo to Memphis likely
Rondo to Memphis for Gay and Conely is apparently very likely to go through.

Trout sidelined with Staph Infection

I'm surprised no one has posted about this yet.
What's also odd is that the realgm forums are the only place I've found it posted. The post sites that 95.5 first reported this news. I didn't hear the broadcast...did anyone happen to catch it (the broadcast, not the staph)?
Luckily Staph infections (even MRSA) aren't too serious when caught early and treated.
If it's legitimate, this is pretty gross, and I'm surprised the Blazer's practice facility isn't kept a bit cleaner. I can see getting MRSA in jail, but a multi-million dollar, private athletic facility? Hmm.

Reflecting on the past

As training camp rapidly approaches, it seems appropriate that a google image search led me to the following Barrett Blog post here.
The post in question is from the 2006 season. It's odd to think how much the team has changed, and how far we've come, in just two years.
Some gems:
"Outlaw, who has been very impressive during the past several weeks, is heading into what will be a very important season for him. The starting small forward spot is very much open, and don't think Travis doesn't realize that. Each season during training camp, Nate McMillan demands that his players pass a conditioning test, that involves timed, full-court sprints. It is not easy, and many players fail it several times before earning a passing grade. Outlaw, who failed the test four-straight times during last year's camp, has reportedly already passed it with flying colors heading into this year's camp. It's been said he's in, by far, the best physical shape of his career."
""He's an experienced, hard worker who will help push our big guys during camp," says Blazers player personnel director Kevin Pritchard. "A couple of our assistant coaches have spent time with Zendon in the past, and felt very comfortable bringing him in.""
And here's an excellent fan comment: "Hmmmmmmmm between aldridge, lafrentz and joel...do we really need another big guy?"
I won't suck up too much bandwidth posting anymore quotes, but it's really intersting to see how some expectations have changed, and some situations, such as Outlaw's place on the team, haven't changed a bit.
