Olshey finally traded Collins and filler for Dame's friend DeRozan? YAY!
Wait - no? He just wasted a lotto pick. Well, that sounds more realistic.

Bummer. When Hood and Whiteside showed up at playoff games for the Blazers this year, I was hoping it was a sign that they would be minimum contract signings this off-season.

Now I know that a college team could never realistically beat an NBA team, but it's not unreasonable to believe that Dana Altman at Oregon acquired more talent this off-season than Neil Olshey.

TL/DR: ESPN projects Portland as the 8th seed in the west, losing in the 1st round again to the Old Man Lakers.
