DRAFT NIGHT 2022 Predictions | Draft Night Trades | More

[PCmor7]

I predict a meltdown thread at least 35 pages long with a lot of depressed people whining about Cronin.

I'll probably be in on that.

I did a bit of sampling of the mock drafts currently available. Here are the results:

Can we bump this or sticky it or something? I feel like I'm seeing Daniels more than Mathurin today, with Griffin dropping past 10 more and more (Thank God!).

More and more, I think it comes down to Mathurin/Daniels/Sharp for picks 6/7/8 in some order.

If Daniels is there I wouldn’t be surprised if we keep the pick.

 

[BigGameDamian]

Wish there was a way to trade up to 3 for Paolo.

There is, we just don’t want to include the players that would need to be included.

Speak for yourself……

Prediction for draft night we drafting Daniels and keep him then trade Little plus Bucks pick for Grant

 

[BigGameDamian]

Speak for yourself……

Would #7, Little and 36 be enough to get us to #3 pick?

 

[Sheldon Shape]

Would #7, Little and 36 be enough to get us to #3 pick?

Keep Little. Put in both our second rounders and Keon and or Greg Brown. Or one second and the Bucks pick.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Would #7, Little and 36 be enough to get us to #3 pick?

No. Would you trade down 4 spots, to a different tier, to get a second round pick and a role player who can’t stay healthy?

Whispers. Decent ones

What direction are the winds blowing?

Trade up, down, stay put?

Using the TPE?

 

[BigGameDamian]

Whispers. Decent ones

Well??

 

[blazerfan11]

Better yet Daniels at 7, Duren at 8 and Sharpe at 9

And Sochan at 10.

I'm wondering if we are hearing some of the same things. Based on what you have hinted at around the edges, it seems to be along the same vein. I would say, in almost all of those discussions, the Blazers are not in the position of having leverage. It is either about even, or they seem in a position of weakness. It will be interesting to see how it all turns out.

 

[crandc]

Is there a January 6 hearing at the same time? If so I will have that on TV and draft on phone.

 

[Mediocre Man]

And Sochan at 10.

Now you get it

It’s WHY they’re in a position of weakness that pisses me off

as it should piss us all off, something smells a bit rotten here. The GM/head negotiator has to be in full control or its gets bad, what worries me is that is not the case

It is ABSOLUTELY NOT the case

Cliffs notes.

they are all guilty and nothing will happen to any of them, allowing a big red wave to take a giant shit on this country once and for all. Then the government will be overthrown and we will have a ruler and not a president, any longer

ps

Canada will be lovely

Joe's back in his usual position....

Yeah makes sense, after considering what happened at the deadline, sucks this is happening - new ownership can't happen fast enough

 

[Freshtown]

It’s so infuriating because “not having leverage” is such a made-up, self-inflicted disadvantage to give yourself.

We always have the option of picking BPA. We don’t “have” to do anything. Sure, that may make Dame mad, but so what? If he wants to leave I’m happy to blow it up and get a haul for him.

Not ownership for what it’s worth

Gotcha and actually was what I thought, Berty boy has got to go, thought that is likely very wishful thinking

Nope

Is Dame getting micro managey about personnel moves?

 

[Driew]

Is Dame getting micro managey about personnel moves?

Getting? I think he has been for awhile. People blame NO for keeping the CJ/Dame experiment together for so long but I really believe Dame was putting pressure on the organization to keep it together.

 

[Scalma]

Why do you keep pretending like you know anything?

I believe you're wrong about that

if anything, I think Dame was putting pressure on the Blazers to fire Olshey, which is why Olshey tried to torpedo Dame on his way out of town
