and.......I'm from Boston.... fairweathering is FAIR game.... I grew up a Sox, C's, Bruins, and Pats fan.... but once they suck(trade ANTOINE, trade MO, Nomar, CAPTAIN Jason Allison, Bill Guerin, Samsonov, JOE THORTON) I LEAVE too, because I want a winner, and have FAITH that they will bring me back, and WHEN THEY DO(KG, Ray Allen) I COME BACK BITCH!!!!.... BIG difference.... from just picking up some team...

ah yes you are so much better because you only support your teams when they have success and doesn't care about them when they suck.

yeah you are definitely a real fan.


I went through all those 5-11 years of the Cowboys and all the bad years from my hometown Hamburger SV. take this New England sucker.


And I picked the NY Mets long time ago since I first saw Doug Heffernan in a Mets Shirt.

both of you stop bitching. anyways, so reggie miller wanting to be a celtic? these people dont get it. it doesnt matter what team they go, the spurs will dominate the NBA for the next couple of years. And, Brain, the Blazers are not going to do shit anytime soon. Greg Oden is no Duncan.

Agreed, but Oden will be good eventually... when he leaves the Blazers...

Yep yep the Spurs have a few years of domination left. The Celtics aren't going to do shit.

Alban called me Brain...... that's nice of him. Yikes...

I look forward to 15 years of Oden in a Blazers uniform. Lance can try to annoy me but it doesn't my man. Sorry. I simply know basketball, Oden, and the Blazers more than you so I'm not worried. Not even .000000001% that he'll leave.

aight, then... since you're the Blazers expert, let me ask you...

Because I'm STILL not understanding this... and I studied the CBA for a sports law class two years ago, so maybe its changed since then... BUT, why on earth did the Blazers give him 2 guaranteed years with 3rd and 4th as a TEAM option???

I mean... why wouldn't you give him 3 Guaranteed years... and a 4th year TEAM option? I just don't understand that, it doesn't exactly shout: "COMMITTED" from the Blazers...

maybe its just me... but shed some light on that for me juice...

and I apologize if I was wrong with the facts, but this contract is what leads me to believe that he'll be gone at the minimum of 4 years from now...

Simple. The blazers have signed all their recent contracts for 2 years with an option for the third. That includes Travis Outlaw and Steve Blake. That's because the Blazers will be 29 million under the cap in 2009, setting up the Blazers to give max contracts (or longer 6 year contracts) to their core players (+ Brandon Roy and Lamarcus Aldridge) that same year. Tom Penn, the new asst GM, was recently hired from Memphis purely on his skills as a collective bargaining guru. He's an ex lawyer.

What talented rookie in the NBA in the last 15 years has left after his first contract? Wasn't Lebron James supposed to leave Cleveland? Wasn't Carmelo supposed to leave Denver? It just doesn't happen because those teams grew up with those teams (loyalty) and can get more money (longer contract) from the original team.

Say the Blazers have Roy and Aldridge and even other upcoming players like Frye and Outlaw. They are winning and growing to be contenders. He would want to leave that? Makes no sense sorry. Greg Oden already said how Portland is a perfect city for him. And said he would love to spend the next 15 years with them. I just don't see him as the type of guy who is disloyal. He's exactly the opposite of that if you see him in the interviews. Likewise, the Blazers go berserko of getting the #1 pick, spend it on Oden, and then intend for him to leave? Right.

thanks for answering that... I just found it odd, cause I would think the standard would be 3 guaranteed years... but I'll take the Cap excuse I suppose...


ok now back to being an ASS:

I don't know why he would want to leave, but we soon will find out...lol...

then again, I don't even care about Oden or Durant anymore, because we got our STUD on the EAST coast... so they can both wither away in obscurity in the WEST for all I care...
