David Locke: Very interesting debate going on in this draft John Henson, Myers Leonard or Tyler Zeller? Who do you like 1 minute ago

YIKES! Don't people have anything better to do with their time?

One of them is at least 1/2 black, so I take him

That alone means he'll be a significant upgrade over Felton. :devilwink:

Reminds me of when we reached for Martell becuase we were coming off years of poor SG play.

Just because we have a hole at PG doesn't mean we should use an early draft pick on one. Draft the best player available.

The really great/scary/intriguing thing about Lillard is that so many scouts have him projected so many different ways. Most everyone thought Martell would be a bleh player
 
Besides - that was an easy one. Nobody would have disagreed. 3 tall stiffs - you always go for the one with the most "black" in him.

I think Lillard is the BPA at #6, though another player might fall to tempt Olshey.

But Martell made a lot of shots in his workout with the Blazers.

I mean, right?

I bet Zeller and Leonard would be great volleyball players though? You know, a nice white sport before them darkies take it over as well. Thank God for the cold of the ice, or they would be dominating hockey

If the draft follows what most think, I think Drummond followed by Lillard. And by followed I mean as closely as Allyson Felix and Jeneba Tarmoh followed each other

That took a google because I am ign'rant.

I just have a bad feeling about Drummond, and for no good reason. Lillard has some yellow flags too, but I think he'd make more of an impact on the team tomorrow. What I'd love is picks 6 and 7, to just let everyone win.

I am nothing if not quick witted with obscure examples
 
I just realized that if I end up keeping my new kids, I could someday have a grandchild named Jeneba. Eek, what will the country club think?

Randy Bodek on Jeremy Lamb

I like Lamb at #11. Do we let his interview scare us off from taking the dude at #11? You could say it about saying people in the draft, but he has about as much potential as anyone in this draft.

I think today is probably going to answer that question. If he nails his workout and is invited to dinner or whatever and acts awake and not bombed out of his mind, he could be the guy


I personally think this team could do a lot worse than Drummond and Lamb on draft day. Could end up being the worst draft in Blazers history as well though. If we have done the homework right, and they pass with a B or better then draft them

I'm still pretty meh on him but if he falls that far I think he's clearly the BPA at #11.

With the Raptors trading out it's a strong possibility, depending on what HOU/ORL do with that pick.

Lamb is starting to remind me of Rudy Gay a little bit. Do not want at 6, but would be fine with him at 11, depends on what else is there.
That is a scary draft, could go either way. My fear is still lacking that alpha dog.

Do we nudge, nudge, wink, wink, no what I mean, no what I mean with Toronto?

Por: Nic would like to play for you, how much do you wanna pay him?
Tor: $10 million per year

Por: Hey, Bouna, Nic to Toronto for $10 mill per
Bou: Sure

Por: Ok Toronto, we will not match Nic, and his agent has said yes to Toronto. Give us #8 for our two seconds and a pick in the 20's we are buying for our trouble

I keep repeating to myself that this is not a 1 year fix. That helps me with the alpha dog thing.


FWIW, I think there are a couple of potential AD's in the draft

Robinson, Rivers, Lillard are the guys I think have not only the potential skill level, but also the personality to do it.....At least at some point
 
Henry Abbott ‏@TrueHoop
Don't know which prospects will do best in the NBA. But Damian Lillard will own summer league. Has quicks, scoring ability and ... the ball.


Sounds a lot like Bayless. Who would have been a stud with a different coach

I'm hosting one as well for my dad and a couple of friends. Smoked a turkey in my new smoker this weekend. Cooking a second in the oven Wednesday night. Going to park my ass in front of the TV, crack some bottles of wine, beer, whatever... should be a good time, as long as Portland doesn't 'F' it up.
