Pinwheel Empire is a social Blazers site which aims to bring fans together in a unique and new community. It's run by a bunch of volunteer gerbils all over the world. We're new, trying to cross the Rubicon and do something different – it's an evolving process with a lot of small victories and defeats.
Orlando Summer League starts today. Las Vegas Summer League starts Friday. The Blazers’ first game is Sunday against Austin Rivers and the Brow.
The most exciting news about Summer League is that Ammo is starting for the Nets.
The saddest news of Summer League is that I’ll be out of town and will miss most of it, so everyone take good notes.

atop the most popular DE ever.
@ian21 traitor
@dj idoltime I look at myself as more of a front runner than a traitor.
@dj idoltime something weird is going on... maybe PWE 3.0 will fix it.
@ian21 damn, I think you're right
@dj idoltime Sounds like a diabolical plan. I am not sure if it will change the count though. In the upper right corner and in the Top DE tab it says 2342 comments but next to the number of people listening it says 2238
New DE - http://thepwe.com/fanposts/debut-day-de/
@TiMB thank you
I called Peter Vescey a dinosaur on twitter last night and he blocked me.
anyone know why ak was banned from bedge?
@dario argento Devyn posted an e-mail Timmay sent him on the situation. Basically, Timmay's assertion is it was a pattern of abrasiveness over a period of time. Which, in reality, I read as Timmay had an axe to grind and Dave said go for it
@blazeraddict @dario argento actually banning someone usually gets discussed in inter-mod e-mails before it happens.AK is incapable of reading factually incorrect comments with out calling bullshit and tact is not his strong suit
@southern oregon @blazeraddict @dario argento I'm sure, as an ex-mod, you know that calling people a piece of excrement at the Bedge is not going to be overlooked.
@blazeraddict where is the Devyn post? I can't find it.
@blazeraddict cool thanks.
@dario argento It's way deep in the thread, probably have to hit more comments 3-4 times
@dario argento timmay's hemroids flaired up?
@southern oregon what I wanna know is does he EVER DO ANYTHING, EVER, besides hang out on bedge? Every time I have been on bedge for the last 2 years hes on there trying to enforce his will on conversations.
@dario argento it was a straw that broke the camel's back situation we all think. stupid all the time same though.
@MattBRC yeah he has been really aggro lately, calling peoples ideas childish and stupid and stuff.
Phoenix got Scola - their roster isn't all that bad
@blazeraddict the definition of mediocrity.
per David Aldridge, they're chasing OJ Mayo now
Kostas Papanikolaou confirmed Blazer per the Knicks broadcast team
@blazeraddict Sell 41st pick. Make trade for guy selected 48th. Blazers do things an interesting way.
@TiMB We've gone from cake baker (KP's scorch job in the oven) to sausage maker (NO gets it done, process isn't pretty)
@southern oregon @TiMB A lot depends on the Batum thing - if we turn down Derrick Williams, I am going to be pissed, though this may be a Paul Allen special
@blazeraddict @TiMB its still early in the game but so far NO is getting high marks from me
@TiMB @blazeraddict the selling of the pick may have been a wink and nod agreement from the crash trade
@blazeraddict the last half of his name looks Hawaiian,I cant wait to hear Rice try and pronounce it
@southern oregon @blazeraddict Alan Hahn could BARELY do it, Rice will never get it.
@blazeraddict that should be fun.
Yes! Walton trips to Eugene = some great Grateful Dead stories.

David Falk is saying some interesting things about Bouna Ndiaye right now.
@MattBRC I may be one of a view who thinks Ndiaye has done a good job. A bit bombastic for my taste, but Nic is going to get a great deal, and if he gets his desired city as well Ndiaye has given his client everything he wants, tough to do in a RFA situation
@blazeraddict @MattBRC whining to the press is a common Euro negotiation tactic,I'm sure he is just trying to do his job
@MattBRC @blazeraddict @southern oregon he didn't get big time passing up chances to cut his competition.
@blazeraddict @southern oregon Falk doesn't really need to peddle for clients though. He's big time.
@southern oregon @MattBRC Agreed. And also, I think Falk, while he may think Ndiyae is over the top, is shrewdly taking an opportunity to take a shot at the competition. Not that many players out there relative to agents, and it is a zero sum game
LOL Matthews is going to be play the 3.
@MattBRC Long may it continue
Honestly, to be in love with Raymond Felton is like being in love with carcinogens- loss all around.
@clemsaucy Olshey's strategy is becoming clear,only deal with stupid teams. next he is going to put billy king on speed dial
@southern oregon supposedly this Greek kid is pretty impressive; wonder if they'll express him for summer league.
@southern oregon @blazeraddict @MattBRC lololol Jared Jeffries. I remember one of the only Knicks' game I watched, Jeffries went ham against the Jazz and scored like 12 in a row at one point. One thing Jeffries will do: bring his hard hat and work doggedly. He's a great guy in that regard.
@clemsaucy @blazeraddict @MattBRC jefferies is proably a minor upgrade any way so the Greek kid is just icing on the cake
@blazeraddict @MattBRC @southern oregon I'm still lost on the 41st/Tyshawn Taylor/selling to BK bit. Doesn't hurt to stock up while cutting loose appendages. I'm just glad Kurt Thomas won't be here anymore. Dunno why I don't like him, but good riddance.
@MattBRC @clemsaucy @southern oregon This would be a great get. Although, it begs the question, if we liked him why sell the 41st to Brooklyn for cash, especially since he's staying over a year? My only guess would be another 3 is more attractive based on a change in thought on keeping Batum, whether in the short or long term.
@blazeraddict @clemsaucy @southern oregon He's supposed to be pretty decent according to DX.
@clemsaucy yeah I like the DX report on him a lot
@clemsaucy @southern oregon I think he was taking time off after Olympic qualifying/something else, he wasn't with the Knicks Vegas squad
@clemsaucy Work related question Clem - are you guys going to look the other way on the whole "family friendly" language thing with Fatty MacAsserton comes back to town?
@blazeraddict personally, I don't mind it... especially since he was uber-craptastic while here. The only time I've really enforced it and had to get into it with a guest was when Rudy came back. This one guy was completely over the line and relentless. It was uncomfortable to listen to. I feel like I've heard it all, attacks on other players, myself, etc. but wow..... he took the cake.
