BLAZERS LOSE #1 DRAFT PICK!

[BlazerCaravan]

And seriously, his nickname in college was All Father... I don't want to know how many girls he got pregnant to get the nickname!

I like Goliath in the 2nd round, but he has the same problem as Isaiah Rider. Always getting stoned.

 

[Chris Craig]

Judas is the real Jesus Stopper though... He had some trouble with the NCAA amateur athlete rules (I heard he took kickbacks) but whatever. He's pro now.

He goes by the name James Harden now

Can't handle smaller defenders either. I hate that in big men.

 

[Chris Craig]

I'm so happy

Yeah, the big man is dead.

 

[BlazerCaravan]

David seems like a good prospect; natural leader, built himself a little kingdom at a mid-major school.

 

[BlazerDuckSeahawkFan94]

Back to the OP...Fuck. There's always next year I guess. One of these years we will finally pick 14th and turn this thing around.

On an actual serious point, it's good to get this pick out of the way. Now we have full rights to next years which is great to have.

Yep, giving up our pick in a weak draft class is a fine consequence of being good enough to make the playoffs years early.

I don't wanna call this a weak class, because well, who knows? But this years class and where our team needs are at don't mesh. All the players that would make a difference are top 10 players anyway.

DRAFT PICKS CAN'T GUARD US

 

[oldmangrouch]

Further proof you don't want TOO much talent!

Nik thought it was our best hope at adding talent. Tunchi looks at it as an asset that can be traded.

JBC has some great stats that should translate well to the nba, and that isn't even counting his apocryphal stats. I hear each apocrypha assist is like two nba assists.

We picked RHJ in the 20s and turned him into Plums. Darn right picks have trade value.

That 2nd page of this thread was gold. Jesus Christ that was funny.

 

[Scalma]

Our first round pick this year is Montero, we just got a head start on his development. He'll fight for rotation minutes next year. I have him ahead of Connaughton.

Alexander is another guy that can be a bench piece but with a more specific role. We need another big man that can defend and he's probably already NBA ready as a help defender. Remember, he's still only 20.

Those two guys are pretty much just as good as anyone we'd draft if we had our pick. Yeah, we lose an asset but Olshey made up for it by getting Cleveland's first.

 

[B-Roy]

Some real A+ commentary in this thread. A real showcase of what this community has to offer.

So punny!

 

[illmatic99]

Pour some out....

It's alright, I'd rather give up a pick this year than next.

 

[HailBlazers]

I forgot to put mediocrity in the OP. We have cemented ourselves in that too.

And, Franchise Over.

 

[dviss1]

That dude got away with a lot of traveling.

He became a great referee after his playing days though. The best rules interpreter ever.

I'll be honest though, sometimes I think he just made up rules that sounded reasonable at the time. His "burner phone call" to the commissioner story is suspicious to me.

 

[Pinwheel1]

Two games in the next 10 days. No need to rest anyone. You don't want anyone rusty.

 

[Sedatedfork]

Offseason. Over.

 

[Tunchi]

goddamnit I wanted to draft the 14th best player in this draft.

now that is completely out the fucking window.

Well you bout to be bounced from the 1st round quick then you'll wish you had something to trade or trade with

 

[riverman]

I heard he too drinks like a fish to the point of turning water into wine

 

[Draco]

Yeah we were really rusty the game after the allstar break.

 

[Pinwheel1]

I still would not take the chance with that much rest in the next 10 days. If the games are meaningless than you can cut Dame and CJ's minutes, but I don't think at their age they need the night off.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Were fucked. Anyone wanna buy my tickets for next year at a discount? The season will be a total loss now.
