The conversation was quick - like two minutes but I got to talk to him like a real person. What I got from talking to him is that he is a real sports fan and he knew about the Blazers. He said that when I come back Brandon, LaMarcus and I will be a force next year.
He's a Bulls fan first, but if Oden can help him in Ohio I think the Blazers may end up with some real leverage in Obama's administration. Things I hope we can get: Rights to first trade with I. Thomas; trade sanctions on LA Lakers, Utah Jazz, Seattle Sonics; Guam.
