Yes a very specific TrailBlazer..

Although Blazer Zach Randolph was named in the report, police have not identified him as a suspect in the criminal investigation, said Sgt. Brian Schmautz, spokesman for the Portland Police Bureau.

At least he isn't a "suspect"...but seriously how many times does this guy have to be at the wrong place at the wrong time.

An official statement to come from the Blazers with in the next 15 minutes or so.

As for the story itself, I can't say I am impressed. Remember the Salt Lake City incident? 3 players were involved, but most of the team (and some of the coaches) were "named in the report."

Can we hold off on the lynch mob until we actually know what the **** is going on?

As usual, 100% correct, OMG.

Man, this is like deja vu from the Sebastian Telfair gun incident. Someone posts a rumor that they heard a Blazer might be in trouble, poster gets shot down by rest of the board, rumor comes out, people apologize to poster, people freak out.

I really wish Zach wouldn't associate himself with such lowlifes. I'd still like to hear the whole story, however, before I convict Zach of any wrongdoing. History does not side with Z-bo, but I don't have enough info to process this any further.

P.S. Think they'll mention anything about this on CSMN? Poor MB. The guy has been working his tail off this offseason to bring all the good stories about the Blazers to light, and one thing like this can bring it all smashing down. That is assuming there was any wrongdoing on Zach's part.

I don't claim to know much about criminal investigations (thank goodness), but isn't it a bad sign that Zach has hired an attorney? Is there a reason you'd hire an attorney if you don't have a reason to believe you're a potential suspect?

Quite interesting that Zbo has hired Stephen Housze as his attorney. Housze is one of the top criminal defense attorneys in the state.

I think the Blazers have him on speed dial. He's also defended a few other Blazers, IIRC.

Yes true...bad sign IMO that they bring in a heavy hitter like him immediately though.

I understand the strategy behind it, that the attorney will protect you through the investigation, but it sure doesn't make you look innocent.
