I think that we should worry about them but there are more pressing worries in the west. Portland still has so growing to do over the next few years. We don't really know if your guys will continue to grow or flame out.

Let's put it in perspective...

We should worry about Portland in the future, but we needn't worry 1/3 as much as Portland fans seem to think we should.

Paul gets a 3 year, with a fourth year player option for a total of 68 million dollars. Roughly 17 mil a year.

Expect Deron to sign the exact same contract.


Called it.


You were right, dude.

I was way off on this one, as I thought that Deron would want the security and also want to show the commitment to the team, but I suppose he is worried about the potential change in the makeup of the team after Boozer opts out.
