Talks about Leandro Barbosa possibly becoming a Laker. I think this would be a great pick-up. More power on the bench.

Leandro Barbosa: "Among others, I'm talking with Phoenix, the Brooklyn Nets and the Los Angeles Lakers. Steve Nash even texted me because he wants me there." UOL Esporte

It really makes you wonder what goes down in Portland. Surely they need to take a good look at their training/rehabilitation staff down there. Hope he gets back to full strength some time soon.

There's been a few real talents that have fallen apart in portland.

Been a shame about Portland. That team had great talent but all fall apart due to injuries. I still think they don't have a bad roster, it's decent

Now I think about it, i'm sure there was an article online buy some rehab guy that was contacted by the trailblazers and he was saying how the guys there caused more injuries with their dodgy techniques. I'll have to find it one day when i'm not on my phone.
