ABOUT THE SOCIETY
Because the world really needed another blog dedicated to the Portland Trail Blazers. We're a group of journalists and fans who've grown up with--or have grown to love--Oregon's only professional franchise (and this won't change when MLS comes to town). Plus we're convinced that--if given the chance--we could totally hit the Toyota halfcourt shot. Until then, we're stuck here in the Portland Roundball Society.
THE BLOG PICK. THE BLOG ROLL.

Patty:

After two years of player evaluation, I think our time is about up. It is sort of like dating someone over time but never being willing to get serious. You can't just keep stringing people along. We are now at the point of committing or cutting bait, and I think we are going to cut bait. It's time.

Is sort of silly to get all emotional and sentimental about him when we are the ones who, in the end, said, “No!” We simply cannot have it both ways. What we need to do now is wish Patty all the best.

Rudy:

Rudy has always had talent, but in order to succeed in Portland he was going to have to get much better. He came to Portland with the dream of becoming an NBA star. He wanted to fulfill his dreams. Why wasn't he able to do it? What went wrong?

Is it possible that our training staff failed him in one way or another? Is it possible that the staff failed to communicate to him the bottom line of what he would need to do in order to compete on a level of the supermen?

The guy needed to put on about 20 pounds of pure muscle in order to have a chance to be a frontline NBA player. I kept looking, hoping that someone would deliver him the real, potentially ethically questionable message -- but it never happened! Whose job is it to tell him what, “other guys,” are doing?

It makes me wonder about the responsibilities of professional training staffs when it comes to, “supplements.” When is a training staff going too far? And when have they not gone far enough?

Again, Rudy has talent, but was he willing to go far enough? And when are expectations based on the potential use of performance enhancers? Rudy was simply never going to be able to compete at 170 pounds. I think it is quite obvious that our training staff is complicit in what didn't happen with Rudy and the teams current need to trade him.
