That's going to do it for me. I'll try to check back in later on in the day or during the draft. Thanks everybody, take care.

I think he could if he wanted to, but I'm guessing Steve is going to spend a lot of time with his family rather than getting into coaching any time soon.

I'm not sure, though I don't think the Blazers have any players they could extend qualifying offers to. Teams can sign free agents starting July 8th or 9th (I can't remember exactly)

I don't think they traded Nic because he plays for the French National Team. Last year was the first time that it really had an adverse effect on his NBA performance. I just think that after 7 seasons, it was time to try something else.

I'm sure that after 9 seasons, LaMarcus is well aware of the disdain we have around here for the Lakers. If you're going to go, might as well make the full heel turn into villain.

Nope

I think he'd consider staying, but I think the bigger issue would be whether the Blazers would pay him what he'll want to be paid. Nic is still just 26 and still has another 4-year contract in him, and I'm guessing he's not going to have any shortage of suitors. Some would say that Blazers fans...

You're right: I can't say anything.

Nah, that pipedream fizzled out pretty fast. Surprisingly, NBA players aren't real adept at running marketing agencies.

Will do. Thing is, Nic has always been honest with himself about his struggles. You can't say that for a lot of guys.

I saw that as well. If the Pistons offered the No. 8 pick, obviously the Blazers feel like Vonleh is better than whoever they could get at that range, though that's just a guess.

Probably Looney, though that's the easy guess. Someone reported today that Cauley-Stein could be in for a steep drop, so he'd be my not-as-easy guess.

I'll do my absolute best. I'll be at the PF starting around 3 pm.

Last time I saw Cosgrove he was laying bets at Portland Meadows. Tettes lives in LA, so he's dead to me.

In all honesty, and I mean no offense with this statement, I read Canzano's columns/listen to his show on a very, very rare basis.
