The Blazers have no pick, however, that is not to say that the Blazers won’t end up with one or two rookies after draft day. Neil Olshey is arguably the best bargain hunting GM in the league. While Dame DOLLA and K-Love drop dimes, Olshey drops pennies and manages to pick up dollars. This was evident at the trade deadline a few months ago, when Olshey turned a Tim Frazier roster spot and a future 2nd into Brian Roberts, Cleveland’s 2018 1st Round Pick, and Miami’s 2021 2nd Round Pick. That Cleveland pick will be the biggest asset that Olshey can use to move into the first round. That pick will be in the low 20’s as long as Lebron doesn’t make another “Decision”. Therefore, Portland should probably look to trade Cleveland’s first round pick instead of their own. Olshey and Paul Allen will explore the option as Olshey was quoted saying “We always have a draft pick. We work for Paul Allen.”

Nice job Mr. Jones :grin:
 
This is awesome work!! As soon also get back from Kiwi-land, I'll write something up.
 
I don't want to be a downer but there is a real problem. You described all of Boston's second round picks by listing them instead of saying "the Celtics have a shit ton of 2nd round picks"

Otherwise awesome job Torey.
 
Torey Jones, sounds like a famous players name. Am I gonna be sitting in my wheel chair a couple decades from now when the grandkids are watching the final season of this famous Jones guy in the NBA? I can tell them "yep! I used to give him shit on the Blazers forum when he was in college". Grandkids be like, "Stop lieing. . you didnt really know Torey "Bones" Jones did you?"
 
Well done piece Bones! Top shelf! I really enjoyed it
 
We'll see.... BC wants a major signing bonus and a company car. The best we can offer is a few Trimet bus passes and some old tokens for Wunderland.

When you asked if I was in or out, you had no content and no working site. Now that I see it doesn't look like amateur hour, I'm in. :ghoti:
 
"Bones wrote an awesome draft primer"

I'm glad the show's writers are incorporating the draft into the show, but when are they going to bring kingspeed back as Zack Addy?
