Draft pick intro news conference?

[BlazerBeav]

Did I miss the press conference introducing our new picks, or are the Blazers not holding one this season?

I wouldn't be surprised if they're holding out in the event that they have to trade Leonard and/or Barton.

Introducing them probably like last year. When they arrive for summer league practices

The Blazers are planning to introduce Thursday’s draft picks during the second week of July.

Probably because of free agency, coaching search, and holiday week they want to wait a bit.

But I like the theory they are being traded soon haha.

I think what MM says is more likely.

But I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, either. There are a lot of RFA's out there, besides Hibbert, and I think it's possible that anything can happen to get a deal done.

My 2nd week of July comment was from the Oregonian.

I responded before seeing that.

Even if that's Portland's plan, though, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities that Leonard or Barton could be dealt.

Thanks. Listening to Meyers on Canzano's show last night reminded me we hadn't heard from them officially.

Probably July 9, although it has not been settled yet. @iMTron101 When is the Press Conference for our new players?

I like this understated approach for the newbies. All of the pomp and circumstance in years past (especially a fucking downtown rally for Oden) didn't exactly please the basketball gods. Let 'em earn the accolades I say ... and then there is the trade thing.

No. The 4th of July holiday was biggest factor. RT @DJBReady could the delay be because one of them might get traded?

No press conference but this being Portland some sort of a nude bike ride later this month.

Trade those assets!

Well better they be exposed to our quirks right off the bat then innocently coming across one of those rides on the way home from the Rose Garden one night.
