Looking forward to seeing Sergio play

Interesting video. It gave me a better perspective for what the Euro players have to go through. In Spain (Mallorca) Sergio is a STAR and over here he’s just a couple of notches above scrub status.

TZ, you wrote about the risk reward of signing Ike/Leon Powe in the other post. The risk for Sergio is nil and the potential reward is, if not huge, at least substantial. This is the type of trade that Petrie excels at and I’m hoping that going forward that Sergio becomes a valuable piece for our team and at the very least, English isn’t going to be a problem.

Just curious TZ, how many blogs, posts, web sites etc. do you visit every morning as you are getting StR ready for the day? Thanks.

RSS is my lifeblood

I subscribe to a ton of NBA blogs and search terms on Google Reader. Makes life so much easier.

Portland fan here...

I just watched the video of the interview. I’m really going to miss the guy and hope he explodes into all-stardom for you guys. I feel a real affinity to your team between Petrie and Addleman and so forth.

Good luck to you guys in this. I think if this goes well for you it’s really, really going to hurt Nate McMillan over in Portland.

Buck Williams for the hall of fame
