I just got back from the Clash of the Classes high school showcase. Much larger than (I) anticipated crowd-- a few thousand packed the Lewis and Clark gym to see the likes of Mike Moser, Abdul Gaddy and Nigel Williams-Goss. Really well-executed show, from start to finish. Play a game with me for a second. Let's say you're an NBA All-Star guard. You just played a preseason game last night 2,000 miles...

Pete Treperinas at bleacherreport.com posits a increasingly common inclination for fans of the former Seattle Sonics: To become a Portland TrailBlazer fan. He gives the standard reasons: Nate McMillan, Paul Allen, Brandon Roy, Martell Webster, proximity of city, excitement level of roster, and so forth. And while he touches on the pain and betrayal he feels in becoming a fan of the team he used to...

The Blazers are as young as they are talented, so they'll need leadership from Brandon Roy and Nate McMillan, Matt Petersen says.

1. What will Greg Oden do for Portland? 20-10-3? Two surgeries and a year after he was supposed to suit up for the Blazers, he joins (so does Rudy Fernandez!) a core that includes budding star Brandon Roy and polished power forward Channing Frye. The word dynasty is being dropped … and with good reason. [...]

Training camp opens for 30 NBA teams in various parts of the United States in a little over a week. Some teams have already assembled informally and began their preparations for the 2008-09 season. For a select few, this will mark their first foray into the world of NBA basketball. No more school books on the road trips, it is time to grow up on and off the court .

With the off-season surgeries of Brandon Roy, Channing Frye, Raef LaFrentz, and Casey Holdahl you can't help but ponder the likelihood of injuries affecting Portland's chances, at least in the near term. Unlike many people, I am fairly slow to bestow the label "injury prone" on anybody. For every Grant Hill who spends two-thirds of his career in traction there are five players who have one or two...

Of course, that wasn't the quote from the horse's...

Filed under: Trail Blazers FanHouse's Tom Ziller argues his ranking of the top 50 players in the NBA . I have already offered Monta Ellis as a Wadeian figure for your future. Those connections were made mostly in terms of offensive execution. If there's a youngster who really captures the mythos, the id of Dwyane Wade, though, it's Brandon Roy . Roy isn't the offensive juggernaut of Wade, but does...
