LOL. Good point.
Potentially big Blazer news coming soon?

Quick said there would be a resolution soon, in regards to the roster. I really can't see how Darius coming back would be a resolution. He would have to prove he can play before anything would be resolved and going off the recent Canzano article it sounds like he is months (at least) away from being in game shape.
So take your rumors and leave!!!!

^Ya I seem to remember an article very recently saying Miles should retire because he doesn't care about anything but the money. I still think Miles retiring makes the most sense.
I guess Miles being activated could be considered a potential roster fix? If he miraculously comes back and plays out of his mind taking the starting SF role, which seems a bit farfetched. But if it is Miles being activated why would we activate him now? Why not when Roy AND Jones were out with injuries?

Quick has also always said that Roy is the best
PG on the Blazers, which is true. Maybe its that??
Probably not tho.. .just throwing ideas out.. .

I feel guilty for being a bad Blazers fan. I know the best news for the Blazers concerning Miles would be a medical retirement. But, I'd have more fun if he came back and played. So, I'm in a place where I'd be satisfied if the bad thing happens.
I think what is going on here is the only thing Jason Quick knows is David Stern came to Portland. If Quick new anything substantive, he would have already reported it. Jason Quick doesn't know anything we don't. And, if he does learn of something, we will know it 1 minute later.

If you need a reason to drink, I got you covered. Just tell people what I tell people. I only drink on days that start with a T. Tuesday, Thursday, Today and Tomorrow.

Hmmm, that's an intriguing idea but that's not worthy of the attention that has been given towards this. But then again, the same thing happened with the 07' draft in the supposed debate between Oden and Durant (it's pretty clear Pritchard wanted Oden to begin with). Knowing Canzano, he might be making up a story to fulfill his quota...

That would just be his opinion, not really a story of any sort.
And it might be a correct opinion. I'd say Roy probably has the most completely PG skillset of all of our guards. Other PG's excel at certain aspects, but as far as the whole package goes, Roy seems to have them beat right now.

Yea - It is opinion & wouldnt be big news worthy.
Like I said, I was just throwing out ideas.. .
It just popped in my head when I read the word "roster".
As far as Quick not announcing the news right away
doesnt mean he doesnt know anything, then again
it doesnt mean he does. He could of been asked
not to say anything. Its my opinion but I think if
he was asked to hold something back he probably
would. Im not a big fan of the media and I tend
not to put much stock into what they say, but at
the same time I cant recall anything Quick has
said or done that has made me write him off.. .
imo
I guess we'll see sooner or later.
Just please let it be that Miles is going byebye, lol.

Lol. I keep hoping there is more news, and then there isnt and I just read a bunch of recycled opinions (which is mostly what I write anyways, so im not trying to dis anyones post). Then I hope we get news the next day, and the process repeats itself.

Meh, I hope there's new tomorrow, but if not, oh well. I'm interested in anything that keeps me entertained while the season draws to a somewhat bittersweet end.
The deadline has passed and our playoff hopes are gone, so there's nothing left to do but ride out the 20 or so games left. It can get kinda boring at this time of the year.
