THEN I ASKED HIM ABOUT O'NEAL -- HIS ANSWER:

Josh-

I beleive the hype surrounds the fact that every Blazer players says he
is the best guy in practice and they don't get why he gets zero
minutes...... He is a PF not a center, and thats the problem...there are
better guys (Brian Grant, Rasheed Wallace) in the front of him in the
rotation....

I like his upside...I agree with him, that he need NBA minutes to
develop an NBA game......
