Quick's Blazer primer: Behind the Locker Room door.

Enjoyed these articles....looks like Quick is making an effort to bond with this group...I like seeing a supportive environment from the local writers.

Quick writes great human interest stories- he should probably primarily write pieces like this.

I literally could not stop smiling while reading this. I love this team.

IMHO, this was the bombshell from the articles:

“Just super cool. I love Ed,’’ Lillard said. “If I could pick a person – a glue guy, great teammate -- who I could play with for the rest of my career, like LeBron and James Jones, I would take Ed. I would take Ed with me everywhere. I would take Ed to a fight with me, I would take Ed if I had to go gamble, if I had to do anything, I’m taking Ed with me. He’s just an everything guy.’’

Lillard has had and still has friends on the team. Sometimes, these friends get traded, we've even had jokes about it. But his endorsement of the coach "I would like him to be here as long as I'm here," and now this. Wow. Ladies and Gentlemen, you may now remove Davis from your trade machine scenarios.

Yeah, I noticed that too.... but hasn't Lillard's endorsement been a kiss of death?

never that I'm aware of. There have been players he's been friends with who have gotten the axe. The only other public endorsement has been of Stotts, who if I remember correctly just got extended.

Ronnie Price

Those dudes were all publicly his friends.... and I think they were gone the next year.

We're not communicating, it's all good. Lillard never came out and said we should keep those guys, even though he was publicly friends with them. He has reserved the "we should keep" comments about Stotts and Davis.

You left off Kaman, who by accounts I've seen, was very tight with Dame.

Kinda crazy the 180 quick has done ever since he joined the team

My point was that if you're friends with Dame, that's like the kiss of death.... but I was just joking. CJ is still here.
