Actually this might be fortuitous. We could still get a player with just as much potential as the guys at the top for much less money. This draft does not have clear cut top 4 players.

I think it's pretty clear Sarr, Rischacher, Clingan, and Dillingham are the consensus top 4
 
Funny to watch Jacked Ramsey's live stream of the lottery and as the 8th pick is revealed they're saying "it's all chalk up to this point", despite the fact that two teams with less than 3% odds had clearly moved up.

I give Sprague a pass, but when you're such a know-it-all and can't even track a 14 team lottery, that's pretty bad. You'd think that would humble a person, but it probably won't.

I think ESPN could have done a much better job of explaining who was supposed to be where and who moved up. Why not have the team who should have been picking there and then replace with who is actually picking?

And instead, @BonesJones reacted to that in his stream which continues to show their show is better than Marang.

That's what I keep reminding people. I have seen a wide variety of mocks where risacher is #1 while on others #10

Who cares? It’s the symbolism of sliding way down in the draft that Blazer brass should pay attention to. The basketball gods are laughing at them, as they should be.

We could have slid to 8. Might as well have.

Symbolism isn't how you manage a basketball team and they could have slid to #8.

They moved up last draft. They moved back in this. Not a whole lot changes at all.

It's all statistics. If Karma meant so much, why is Washington picking 2nd? Why is San Antonio picking 4th? Why did San Antonio win the Wemby sweepstakes? Why did we get the 3rd pick last year. All this Karma talk is just bitching about math. Completely inane and ridiculous.

Worst record gets you a 14% chance. And i dunno if Flagg is 'all that.'

I definitely Flagg is all that and more. Would love to get him but even you don’t there are a ton of good players in next years draft.

Sprague plays both sides. He's a disappointed Blazer fan on some shows, then hooks up with Marang for an extra smootchy Jody Allen day.
 
I stand by what I said earlier but now I wonder what they do with Billups -- I have been going back and forth with what would have happened if they got a top 3 pick.

IF they would have gotten a top 3 pick would they have given Billups ONE more year to prove it or realize maybe he is not ready for this rebuild ? However then the exit interview comes to mind and now that the Blazers have fallen to the 7th pick I think ...

Billups is bought out within 5 days but who knows when the GM is a joke and the owner just wants to make money and I believe tolerates the Blazers just cause it makes money.
 
Fans don't even know what they're arguing for thinking it's the end of the world that we fell in a weaker draft. We'll end up with the same guy regardless.

If this post season has shown anything is it’s a different game in playoffs. Having great defensive players is crucial to winning. You need 1 or 2 guys that can score in key moments and guys who can lock down defensively.

Blazers Uprise has dope graphics, and legit Blazer fan reactions. It's unique in Portland, because ALL the other podcasts are on the same tow chain getting dragged around by Front Office narratives.
 
There are just teams that are consistently lucky, like the Spurs, and then there are teams like the Blazers that are consistently unlucky, what are you supposed to do? Some are just constantly lucky and some are just constantly unlucky
 
Bundle

Put 7 and a high 2nd together and move up? Blazers need Cody Williams, and you know someone like Detroit is going to steal Cody just to piss off Cronin
