From the brilliant mind of Ball Don't Lie 's Kelly Dwyer: And their fans? This team's fans should love them. The Trail Blazer brass is going way, way, way out of its way to better this team. They don't care how it looks, and they don't care how much money they have to spend, they want to develop a champion.

And unless Memphis works this Miles situation to its advantage in basketball terms, you can't say that ...
