No way Neil announced it because he’s obviously dead.

SIGN CHRISS

He clears waivers later today I believe.

knowing what has happened in Portland over the years, and in the last year, why would any guy over 6'8 sign with the Blazers? There's voodoo at work and it looks to be getting stronger

Seriously, it’s getting exhausting injuring all of these tall guys year after year. But if I don’t do it, who will?

Articular cartilage lesion, as I recall, was what led to Oden’s microfracture surgery. I don’t think that they use that much anymore. Can’t imagine why.

 

[HailBlazers]

I blame Stotts.

He clears waivers later today I believe.

nvm, tomorrow morning. If he clears he better be on the roster the next day.

I hear Kevin Love might be available?

 

[Chris Craig]

I blame Stotts.

You start a guy and it all goes to hell
