Time to catch up on a couple of former Blazers. First Sebastian Telfair and an ailment I have never heard of before.

Next... Bonzi Wells is getting under the skin of another NBA coach. What a few months it's been for Wells. He turns down a 6 year 36 million dollar contract with Sacramento. Then he finds out that no one else really wants him. He fires his agent. Then he signs with Houston. Now check out this article for an update.

Former Blazer Jermaine O'Neal will be in town tomorrow. Every time Jermaine comes back to town people wonder what if. But you have to realize that when Jermaine was here Rasheed Wallace and Brian Grant were ahead of him in the power forward rotation. So the mistake wasn't about Jermaine and his lack of playing time. Maybe the mistake was drafting him in the first place.

Jermaine is considering doing a sit down interview with me tomorrow before the game. I'm hoping he says yes. I've always had a great relationship with him. But a lot has changed and Jermaine has a lot on his plate these days. I'm hoping he is the same Jermaine as he was when he was a Blazer.

If I get the interview I will update this blog in the next 24-36 hours.
