  1. @bigjohnNEP gearing up for my second career.
  2. Aldridge received 55 votes, which was the most by any player not named to the 1st, 2nd or 3rd teams. He was named to the 3rd team last year.
  3. Forwards LeBron James/Kevin Durant (1st), Kevin Love/Blake Griffin (2nd) & Carmelo Anthony/Dirk Nowitzki(3rd) were picked ahead of Aldridge.
  4. The All-NBA Teams have been released and @aldridge_12 missed the cut for any of the three teams.
  5. @w_maxey many moons ago, bro.
  6. @w_maxey tell T.Lang his old high school baseball teammate (me) says "What's up?"
  7. @LindsayRae19 thanks. I will!
  8. Day 1 of vacation: Garden District. Casino. Bourbon St. Gumbo Shop. Family. I own you New Orleans ...
  9. @Diggy_Stardust thanks, Daisy!
  10. As #Blazers plot offseason, former 1st-rd draft picks Joel Freeland and Victor Claver will be on wish list: tinyurl.com/7cve44u
  11. Grantland story on Greg Oden offers intrigue and insight, but much of one-sided account is up for debate: tinyurl.com/6otqjbj
  12. Conley: "Maybe he felt rushed. Inside, Greg may have been thinking, ‘They don’t think I’m tough enough. They don’t think I care enough.’”
  13. “Greg felt that maybe there were people who didn’t believe him when he said he was hurting," Conley said of people in general.
  14. Conley says that Oden may have rushed back from his surgery, but only because of self-induced pressure.
  15. Cho cont: "The last thing I want him to do is come back earlier (than he should) because people are expecting it.”
  16. In an August 2010 story in The Oregonian, then GM RIch Cho said: “I don’t really want to put any time frame on (Oden's return) ..."
  17. Oden's agent, Mike Conley, says #Blazers and Oden talked regularly and were always on same page to take as much time as needed during rehab.
  18. The author writes that Oden "never took my bait and blamed the Blazers for his premature return ..." Perhaps there was no bait to take.
