They offered him a pretty sweet 5 year contract.. DOES HE REALIZE HE JUST CHOSE $$$ OVER WINNING THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!! Even though he obviously makes poor decision (leaving the blazers) I'm still gonna miss him.. and I will CHEER for him when we play Miami!! Good Luck James Jones you WILL be missed!!!

Great job as usual. I can't wait for the season to start. Hopefully the chemistry remains good on the team this year, despite the looming playing-time crunch. I am hopeful that some of the intelligent, high character guys on the team, such as yourself, can help keep everyone on the same page behind the scenes.

I have been a blazer fan since the 2000 series when we lost to the Lakers. That was complete bull! and what I can't wait for is when you reject Gasol and drain the baseline jumper in the same sequence. That will be the day.

Was one of them your fan Blazermaniac Andy? If so, he also has another question for you. What do you see your impact on our team this year? I personally see you playing a good amount of time at the 4 spot and even possibly a little with Oden and Alridge at the same time, can you say "Triple Towers"?! But honestly, have a bang up year and I will win my bet. I bet my friend that you would have the "Breakout" year of the three players we have targeted to blow-up in 08-09. The others being Outlaw and Webster. So, if you can just kick their respective booties into gear, and in the process make an arguement for a starting position (I don't know if you beat out LA, but make the kid worry about it by hustling everyday ok) I will even buy a "Frye" jersey and wear it to Opening Night! And have you been down to The Horse Brass for a pint? That's a local legend-spot you need to check out, I reco the Scottish Egg. Trust Me. And go Blazers! Blazermaniac Andy Andrew Robinson Channing,

You would be a really great big if you had power in the post combined with your nice shots in the mid range. That way we would also have 2 beasts in the front even when L.A. and Oden are on the bench ... You should build your strength this summer.

As you continue to develop, you'll pick up more fans in the other NBA Cities, including mine ! :-) :-) :-) Peace Cuz Cuz,
