You know, other airplanes do fly to Milwaukie.

Still I agree this probably is a bogus rumour...

Latest rumor I am starting right here and now is that Darius was seen at Union Station and taking Amtrak. Expect him to roll into the arena in an explosion of diesel fumes right after half-time.

BIG Q

I doubt that Darius will ever play for Portland. But, if Darius is persistent in getting out on the court and refusses to retire medically, it could be a good move to put him on the court. One, it just might embarrass him into retireing. Second, by getting him on the court this year, and he fails/retires after futillity, a full year can pass and he can still be medically retired next year before the end of that regular season. It is just a thought, but the only way I can see this benefitting Portland in any way. He is untradeable until he is an expiring contract.

I dont' hate him, but he'll never play for us again. His knee is shot, I'd have a better shot at driving to the hoop.

I'm in the minority but while I think Darius can have a bad attitude and is not what we are going for with this team, I believe he is a good guy, was in a terrible situation when he blew up at Cheeks (and we all griped and complained about just watching how Cheeks coached, imagine having to play for that incompetence). Certainly doesn't make it right, but nor can I say I completely blame him for going off. I do blame him for using the derogatory language he did.

Bottom line, I'm ready to give him another shot. I think he wants to be here, he likes where the team is going, and he's in a situation where we've survived without him this long, if he tries to screw anything up, or sucks, his *** is as good as gone. What's the worst that could happen? He could play well and show that he can still contribute and wants to win and be part of the team. God that would suck.

Bench his ***. Do not let play. i am still bitter that he took forever to recover from an injury that takes people 6-12 months. He is just so lazy, and I am not sure his attitude is better. I do not want him taking PT away from James,Trav, or Martell.

For what it's worth, I saw him at the end of the summer and he looked to be in much better shape than at Roy's rookie of the year ceremony.

Yeah... give the guy minutes instead to someone who actually deserves some PT.

He can be activiated, sure, but I doubt Nate would even think of putting him on the floor unless seven guys fouled out and he was the last one on the bench.

Play him. Maybe he'll get injured. And if not, maybe he'll contribute.

Can't be any worse out there than Martell has been lately.

If the Blazers want to undo all the goodwill that's built up for this team in the community over guys like Oden and Roy, this would be a good move. Otherwise this makes no sense. People here will always link him to the "bad days" and they want him cleansed from this roster forever.

I was at the Phoenix game on Tuesday, and fans actually booed him during a timeout big screen segment where each of the players were remarking on who they thought the best dancer on the team was. D-Miles was on there for about 5 seconds to say "Martell Webster" and he was met with a chorus of boos.

Now I thought it was a little harsh, but it's a glimpse of what the organization can expect if he actually suits up.
