I’m back from Summer League and somewhat rested. So let’s consolidate all of those impressions into one post and try to get something meaningful out of it. Lesson #1: This summer league was about three players, period. The last two summers have featured Brandon Roy, Lamarcus Aldridge, Greg Oden, Martell Webster, and Jarrett Jack. Even with all of those sure-fire, big-league guys playing I have never...

The Portland Trail Blazers have reached an agreement to sign Spanish guard Rudy Fernandez. Fernandez previously announced his intention to join the NBA, but the Trail Blazers could not announce his agreement to sign until Tuesday because of league rules. "Brandon Roy, Greg Oden, LaMarcus Aldridge, I can't wait to play with them," Fernandez said in a statement. "We will do nice things!" Fernandez has...

Bill Bayno had a good thing going with Portland in the NBA. He was extremely close to general manager Kevin Pritchard and was working with guys like Gred Oden and LaMarcus Aldridge. In the offseason, he lived out in Los Angeles. ``I wouldn’t have gotten back into college if it wasn’t in L.A.,” Bayno said. Bayno has already gotten plenty done since getting a second chance at a head coaching gig, this...

Let me start this column by repeating something I said just a few days ago: Last summer the sportswriters named Monta Ellis as the Most Improved Player of 2006-07. In response to this selection, I wrote the following column: Not Monta Ellis The title pretty much summarizes the argument. If you look at the numbers - and I mean [...]

FIRST, SOME FUN! Definitely late to the party on this one but fuck it, I'll weigh in with bushels of joy. Channing Frye has taken up the banner of "Keep Portland Weird," which I guess is cool for an athlete to do. But for real, he needs to talk to his boy LaMarcus Aldridge, who no doubt had run-ins with the legacy of "Keep Austin Weird." Like LaMarcus could say "Channing, ease up. You're

Although it is now not so likely that the Blazers will be able to hit the 42 win mark, there is a bright spot. LeMarcus Aldridge is up for the Most Imroved Player award. L.A. would be the 3rd Blazer to receive this award. Since the All Star break L.A. has been averaging 19 points and 7 rebounds per game. His shooting is at 50.8%. This is a huge improvement from last year. When you consider that LaMarcus...

Last week during a post-game press conference, Blazers coach Nate McMillan was asked, "Do you think Brandon Roy and LaMarcus Aldridge are the best young duo in the NBA right now?" Nate paused for awhile, mulling over the options, and ended up concluding that, yes, he did believe our young tandem was in fact the finest in the league. Of course, asking Nate this question was akin to asking Bill Clinton's...
