Really hoping the tough, rugged mindset becomes a thing. If Nurkic, Davis and Aminu are healthy and embrace it I can see it having a very positive effect. Swanigan can certainly be physical and Meyers has been known to get into it at times as well. Maybe take a little of the focus off of Dame and CJ.

hard to believe the 1st preseason game is next Tuesday vs Suns, I believe the Oct 3-5-9 games will be televised on CSN which is changing its name to NBC sports NW I think. GO Blazers!

For his sake, I hope we can't trade interns. :wink:

They only let non-team affiliated media into the very end of practice (mostly guys shooting). Team affiliated medial are not supposed to give away much. That rule was not necessarily followed by one particular team affiliated media member who often seemed to have lower inhibitions. (Sadly in my opinion) He has not been around the past two training camps.

Are these gonna be the final 15?

Lillard-Turner-Napier
McCollum-Morrow-Connaughton
Aminu-Harkless-Layman
Vonleh-Davis-Swanigan
Nurkic-Leonard-Collins

Is anybody inked as a 2-way? only Wilcox? what about Goodwin? Briscoe?

That's the likely group. Still waiting to see if Dozier gets waived by Dallas. He'd be my pick for the 2nd 2-way for sure.

Kyle Kuzuma has been a beast, looks like a lotto talent. I like Caleb but I wish we picked him up.

What does everyone think of the Sixers giving out $148/5 for a guy who has played 31 games in his career.

What do I think? I think Greg Oden is wondering why he couldn't get drafted by the Sixers.
