I guess they will carry only 2 guards on the roster, Stoudamire and Smith. Perdue Sabonis Kemp Davis Sheed Quitten Shrimp Antonio Harvey Jamel Thomas All of those players are Forwards or Centers. ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1.

Harvey and Thomas most likely will be cut. Bonzi Wells and Greg Anthony, their backup guards, already have contracts for next season and are both very good players. (esp. Wells) I know you look at Portland and see 12 guaranteed contracts and think that is it, but remember this is Paul Allen. He could care less if he had 20 guaranteed contracts. Either that or Bob is just looking for another post. ------------------ Looking for next year's Dan Langhi?

The Blazers are the Yankees of the NBA. They are buying themselves a championship. With all those big bodies to throw at Shaq, The Faker$ don't stand a chance. Fisher's injury hurts the Faker$ also. ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
Good for them, now trade us Rasheed for Drew. ------------------ Fun Police Says: 1. Stupid threads are not FUN! 2. Spelling, grammar, punctuation and sentence structure are not FUN! 3.

Buying a championship? I think it was the Marlins that coined that phrase. Geeze, they got all those players for a year and then POOF. They were all gone and the Marlins went from 1st to worst! ------------------ There is a very fine line between "hobby" and "mental illness."
Yeah, imagine those poor season ticket holders. Big league prices for minor league baseball. What a crock ------------------ In order to be a success in life, you need 2 things: 1. Don't tell everything you know.
