A former Sonics' fan tells why he is
now a Trailblazer fan
Looks like I've caused a bit of a
stir with my post from this morning . Henry
at TrueHoop ran with it, the great Paul Coro at the Arizona Republic noticed, and even Ziller from AOL Fanhouse picked up on it. So what's all the hubbub, bub ? I had the ...

I’m not usually one to partake in this

...Why not suggest Paul Allen try to sign
Jesus to play the three and invest some of
his billions to clone Michael Jordan to create some offense off the bench? Don't get me wrong, signing Chris Paul (if he doesn't get hurt, or go batshit crazy like Marbury) would be a good idea, a no-brainer even. But in reality the Blazers will already be paying max deals to Roy, Aldridge, Oden...

Happy Easter to everybody. sorry i haven't posted
