ESPN loves Swanigan

[dviss1]

1. You asked for the mocks. I gave them to you.

2. Now you pivot to something else to the point where I don't even know what exactly you're arguing about anymore. Neil didn't go to Cleveland asking for this years pick. Cleveland needed it for the Korver trade. And even if Neil initiated it, how would he have known where exactly Swanigan would be drafted 5 months later? Does he control every teams draft board?

3. Teams target multiple players. Without getting into how I know, teams have a cluster of about five players they like that fall in the range of their picks. They order them. Swanigan very well could've been first on that list for the 26th pick, but he wasn't the only one on it, that's for sure. Teams don't know exactly where players will go, but they make educated guesses. Guesses. Meaning luck can and usually is involved. For you to say it isn't is naive, especially when Neil made no actual move on draft night to secure the guy. He got lucky his plan A (most likely his plan A) worked.

4. This discussion was a huge waste of time, don't know why I even went into it this much, but I also don't really understand your need to constantly check people on this forum, and usually for the smallest, most insignificant things.

tldr

You're right. Most of the time discussing things with you is a big waste of time.

@dviss1 don`t you know that when Neil makes a bad move he sucks and we should fire him, but when he makes a good one it`s all luck ?

I think it's hilarious how people in here think that they know exactly how and why Neil does what he does. We don't know how long he's been targeting swanigan. But people in here will assume like they know what the hell they're talking about.

We told Swanigan before the draft we were taking him if he was around when Portland was drafted. Just like we were going to trade 15 and 20 for 10 if Collins was still on board. Sounds like NO had a plan and executed it. Dunno why folks are questioning it.

I'm happy he traded for Nurk then drafted Zach and Biggie. Our frontcourt needed an upgrade and Olshey accomplished that. Now, it's time to sit back, watch them play and improve over the next several years.

Hahahah says the guy condescendingly telling others what Neil's plan was. Beat it.

Do me a favor and put me on ignore so I won't have any more responses from you anymore.

Ha..No need to talk 4 team trade. Swanigan will lead us into the first round playoffs again.
