December: Disengagement. The Blazers hit a massive wall during a road trip against the Spurs, Magic, and Mavericks. The first slump of the season leads to a flaming bag of poop left on the doorstep of Paul Allen. Allen’s cyborg ninja security team makes sure this doesn’t happen again.

A list of guys the Blazers need more than Turkoglu

"What the Blazers are going through right now is very similar to what a movie production company goes through when casting an actor for a new film. It wants to make sure that he has a good history, makes successful movies, and can put asses in the seats. This is when they sign Will Smith. The Blazers just decided to sign Keanu Reeves."

A Humble Backup Power Forward Suggestion

robrun2 — Fri, 22 May 2009 00:24:52 -0000

We all know the weaknesses of the team at the backup power forward spot. We can't get any offense out of it. We can't get any defense out of it. We can't get any rebounding. It's just abysmal. There's nothing there. It's been pretty much agreed upon that the most important thing to gain in this position is someone who is a good defender and is a strong rebounder.

How about a guy that has a defensive rebounding percentage of over 20% during the last few years?

How about a guy who has the reputation of being one of the premier post defenders in the game?

How about a guy with years and years of experience in big games and a championship ring?

How about a guy who is familiar with Portland and likes the city?

How about a former All-Star?

Well, this player's contract is up, and he'll be a free agent this summer. The only issue is that he earned over 13 million last year and may expect a similar pay day (wrongly). Maybe with a little smooth talking though, he could be had.

Oh wait, I forgot to introduce this player; although I think some of you may know who I am talking about already:

HEY GUYS!

Couldn't Sheed's return be the perfect thing for us? He would fit into our system instantly, and brings a competitive fire that no one aside from Joel Przybilla can rival. Say it with me: we want Sheed back.

Undecided, but I remember that episode of Cribs where he showed off the urinal in his bathroom and that poster of Scarface. Pretty rad.
