[elpurepecha]

not only that but Roy is staying longer.

 

[aubstuh86]

Andre Miller on the blazers = fail.

when teams double on roy, that leaves Andre open and we all know he can't shoot the 3 ball.

LAKERS FTW

How is acquiring a better PG on the Blazers a fail?
What makes you think hes gonna be taking 3s when we Roy could dish it to LA on the Perimeter, or Rudy for a 3?

Anyways, i cant wait for the Lakers to continue their losing streak at the Rose Garden this year.

Lakers>Cavs but when it comes to the my hometeam Blazers>Lakers

 

[straightsole]

Andre will definitely help but I'm more interested in seeing the development of all our rookies. Batum, Rudy, and Greg should all come along nicely thisseason.

P.S.

F*** the Lakers!

 

[mistah majestic]

let's get it done! Damn I really need to update my sig

 

[nomadicsole21]

I see Diogu still got a spot on your Sig

.

I swear, late last season when we traded him to Sac, he had like a breakout 30 points in a game if i remember correctly...i knows its Sac but, im hoping itsnot another Jermaine O'Neal fiasco when he was in his prime.

 

[emmanuelabor]

Im gonna have to go to a couple weekend games this season

 

[nomadicsole21]
