It's like Christmas eve. So exciting. If you can't sleep @THE HCP, feel free to give me a call.

I love this time of year!

Here’s my big-board -


I’d like to see the Blazers grab
7 - Clingan or Buzelis
14 - Ware or Edey
34 & 40 - Ingram, Smith, Missi, or Holmes

My guess is the Blazers will make a consolidation trade and end up with 3 total picks.

 

[BigGameDamian]

I want Jarbai Smith and #3 for Jerami Grant and 14.

Yes, that would be nice. And not a chance in hell.

 

[Whyachi]

I’m getting excited now. I want more guards!!!!

the new rookies would have to earn a rotation spot over Ashton Hagans.

Just talking about this “draft” with a friend up at Starbucks today. Both huge basketball fans. First year either of us are in to it. Both agreed we’ll be back next June.

Vecenie says that based on what he's hearing around the league, there hasn't been any trades yet because nobody knows what the hell Atlanta is gonna do. He also said, based on what he's hearing, it's likely that Risacher is #1.

Williams/Edey in this mock (predicated on the idea of someone moving up into the top 6 to get Clingan). Seems plausible.

 

[ehizzy3]

Anyone have a link? I’m in South America right now lol

 

[illmatic99]

I think this takes us out of the running for wings like Holland/Matas/Salaun etc.

I think Salaun is the dude actually. He projects as a stretch four and we can be patient with him.

 

[TYDame]

I’m happy if we get Cody

 

[Irish Trader]

We need a center at seven

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

I’m happy Stephen A Smith isn’t part of the draft show.

 

[TYDame]

I still want Bronny James at 40

That dude man... can't stand him! Hopefully next season will see someone else hosting their NBA pre-game and halftime shows.

 

[andalusian]

I still want Bronny James at 40

If he plays like his father when he is 40, sure...

 

[illmatic99]

Man Sarr is gonna be there at 2.

Yep. Can you imagine if Cronin had gotten a 7-2 swap worked into this deal? I'd have been on cloud 9

I am holding out hope that that will be roped in once it becomes official that Risacher goes 1

Maybe if Clingan also drops to 7

 

[Whyachi]

over/under:

Blazers draft 2 players from Green Room

 

[Pinwheel1]

Yeah he was worthless since he had no insight on college players. Same with the ex NBA stars

 

[PtldPlatypus]

over/under:

Blazers draft 2 players from Green Room

Given that we just traded away#14, I'm going with under

 

[Ed O]

Why has ESPN talked about wardrobes for seemingly the last 20 minutes? Who gives a shit the third time they talk about it?

 

[ehizzy3]

Who does Schmitz have his finger on

Steven A got reassigned to Lakers security & enforcement

 

[BIG Q]

Everyone have fun with this draft and if you hear anything on the local talkers let us know here too. I’m watching the ESPN feed here in San Diego, so very limited news.
