...believer. He sold or traded away the malcontents who were wallowing in the disappointment and frustration of the past two seasons with the Blazers. In their place came players tailored to Big Bill's skills: quick, sure handed guards to snag his crisp outlet passes and start the fast break rolling, big, power forwards to take some of the pressure-and punishment-off Walton in the middle.
