Ohok here is the deal its a prediction game: One post on what you think KP will do on draft day and only draft day then after the fact we will see how who was closest.
 
He'll get Ramon Sessions. Expect three Blazers to go out: Sergio, Outlaw, and either Blake or Bayless. We may not draft anyone first round, but Blazers pick up a possible backup PF either in the draft or as part of a deal. Rudy stays put. No big-name veteran at SF joins, leaving Batum and Webber at SF, with Rudy/Roy to get some time there.

He'll say they were trying to be active but couldn't get anything done, but we are happy with the team we have.

Yeah, it's a real shame that's been his MO this whole time. That's why the Blazers' team consists of Zach Randolph, Darius Miles, Juan Dixon, Ruben Patterson, Sebastian Telfair, Jarrett Jack, Viktor Khryapa, Sergei Monya and Ha Seung-Jin.

KP has never made an impact trade involving a popular player with the fan base. I don't think he will do it on draft day either.

The absolute easiest thing to do is add a bunch of young talent. Whether they pan out or not is a different story however. Tweeking the talent and adding players while subtracting other players is what's hard. When KP does it the first time I will back off.

That's really a strange thing to say, considering a lot of the players that were on the team, weren't "popular" players with the fan base. There hasn't been an opportunity to trade a "popular player" outside of basically this year.

And in a lot of those cases, 90% of the bitching people do is based on "we could've traded a pile of rocks for that bag of gold!" type trade rumors that are presented on websites and treated as though they were absolutely the trade.
 
Portland will take which ever available power forward is there at 24th and a collection of European players with their 2nd round picks.

They will be the topic of a huge number of rumors, none of which will actually pan out.
 
KP trades the first round pick for a future top twenty protected first and takes Rodrigue Beaubois with the 32nd pick. In two more draft day trades he moves Steve Blake and two second round picks for Kirk Hinrich, and Travis Outlaw, cash, plus the rights to Joel Freeland will be traded to the Warriors for Ronny Turiaf. And finally a bunch of no-name scrubs will fill out roster spots 12-14 signed in July.

Next year's roster:
Hinrich/Bayless/Beaubois
Roy/Rudy
Batum/Martell/D-league all-star
LMA/Turiaf/Over-the-hill banger
Oden/Przybilla/Steven Hill's bigger, hairier little brother.
 
On draft day KP will wak up in his home at 3:00am, brush his teeth, get into his Acura, drive to BHQ but half way there will notice that he is still in his PJs, he will turn around, get back home, put on his lucky draft-day suit, the purple tie and the matching shoes, again get in his Acura and drive to BHQ. He will find his parking spot, get into the door... and that's where my crystal ball loses reception. I think they have some kind of wireless interference device at BHQ - because all I get is static.
 
he will trade outlaw and sergio.

get a veteran and a draft pick: trading picks for Tyreke Evans/Jonas Jerekbo with the rest going in trade involving sergio/outlaw and future picks.
 
KP will trade Sergio and the 24 for something, but will still make a pick in the first round. They'll use one of their second round picks, and trade the others for future second-rounders.

If that is the only thing that happens on draft day = :party:

KP could draft a 5' tall female PG from a AAAAA community college for all I care after that.
 
He will spend several hours debating who has the ugliest suit in the green room.
 
I don't see Pritchard trading out of the first round unless it's part of a blockbuster deal.

I think Pritchard views the draft as an essential pipeline to keep a continuous injection of young talent into the team, plus I'm sure he views it as a major strength of his. So, unless he can get something really nice in a trade, I think he'll either select at #24 or move up.

This one might be the winner. Although I am not sold that KP will actually draft anyone yet.

Ok, I'm going to go out on a limb here...

He will draft a player whose name Antonio Harvey will have great difficulty pronouncing correctly.

hahaha... true to that. I've grown to like Antonio a bit, but his constant brain farts and asking for names of even people on the Blazers is hilarious.
 
He will probably package Sergio with our #24 for a good, 2nd round pick, so that way we can have like 5 of them.:drumroll:

No, the absolute easiest thing to do is add a bunch of young players. To have them actually be GOOD players is remarkably hard. Otherwise every team would win 50+ games with the youngest rotation in the league.

Why doesn't Jarrett Jack count?

2nd round picks don't have to be offered guaranteed contracts like 1st rounders do.

He will call me for advice, then call Paul to see if he is willing to pay my price.

How expansive are 3 goats these days? With all the goat manufacturers in bankruptcy and goat dealers closing - there is excess inventory and I suspect PA, even in this economy, can pay.

Congrats, barfo.
 
I predict his biggest move will be one that we didn't anticipate/discuss much if at all. I wouldn't be surprised to see a core player dealt. If history holds, I'll probably love it.

I'm wondering if we might see Lamarcus, Travis, Bayless & Frye traded to New Orleans for West and Paul?

We then package a Sergio and picks, move up a little bit in the draft to secure DeJuan Blair as back-up PF. (look to obtain New Jersey's pick to obtain Blair.


Oden / Pryz / Randolph
West / Blair
Batum / Webster
Roy / Rudy
Paul / Blake
