Beltram: Five Free Agency/Trade Targets For Blazers
Blazersedge — Ryan Beltram of the Eugene Daily News composes a list of five players the Portland Trail Blazers should target this summer, including New Orleans Pelicans center Robin Lopez and Milwaukee Bucks forward Mike Dunleavy. Robin Lopez He might not be as talented as his brother Brook, but Robin Lopez showed that given the minutes, he can provide high energy, shot-blocking and hustle. Anthony Davis missed time this season due to injury and as a result, Lopez was New Orleans' starting center for the majority of the season.

NBA Trade Rumors: Eric Gordon to the Clippers?
At The Hive — Bourbon Street Shots reported on Twitter yesterday that they'd "heard buzz" that an Eric Gordon/Robin Lopez for Eric Bledsoe/DeAndre Jordan trade could be in the works.

Jason Collins Comes Out; Robin Lopez Tweets Support
At The Hive — Jason Collins came out as gay yesterday, a huge step forward for American sports at large. Even at the tail end of his career now, he's likely the most well-known, active player to come out in the United States. Here's Collins writing in Sports Illustrated: I'm a 34-year-old NBA center. I'm black. And I'm gay. I didn't set out to be the first openly gay athlete playing in a major American team sport. But since I am, I'm happy to start the conversation. I wish I wasn't the kid in the classroom raising his hand and saying, "I'm different." If I had my way, someone else would have alread...

At The Hive — Despite finishing second to Paul George, Greivis Vasquez deserves plenty of accolade for his 2012-13 season.
