But how about some players that worked out? Blair, Curry, Westbrook, etc.

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

No thanks on Flynn!

I'm more curious about posters who wanted to spend 3 relatively high picks on these PC players who've gone on to do nothing in the league rather then posters who wanted guys who were drafted well before Portland's picks (Curry, Westbrook). Blair was an obvious talent but also an injury risk with his knees... he's also abysmal on D. 20/20 hindsight is nice, but I understand/forgive the reasoning there

I wouldn't trade Sean Marks for Flynn.

Flynn is so bad the Kwame Brown jokes have finally faded away into obscurity, just like Flynn is destined to do.

 

[MARIS61]

I'd do Babbitt for Flynn. I'm sure you can convince Kahn to do it too.

So you 2 guys do Babbitt while Flynn watches?

Eww!

I don't think we had a pick that high in the Flynn draft, did we?

I never liked Morrison. He reminded me too much of Luke Jackson. I also thought that Alexander looked like a white version of Travis Outlaw... and you know how much I liked Travis

Flynn was terrific at 'Cuse and great his rookie year. Then the hip injury happened. When he came back he hasn't been the same player. He's lost in the offense and has lost his confidence. This is the PERFECT time to trade for him. Low cost, high upside.

in 81 games, dude's PER was 13.0 his rookie year... whats great about that? He's a 6' shooting guard... I wouldn't be upset about trading an end of the bench guy for him, but then again I'm not looking to either

There's more to a player than PER. He's a rookie PG on a shit team that still managed to put up 13.5 ppg, 4.4 assists, 2.4 boards and a steal on 42% shooting, 36% from three and 83% from the line. He's super quick and has huge upside. Minny is giving him away. Word is we like him. Why not?

This. It's not like we'd be giving away anything valuable.

 

[BrianFromWA]

I thought Alexander would be great as our backup PF. He was basically a higher-upside Varejao in my estimation. AmMo and Flynn, not so much

But I agree with Maxiep. If we can get him for little, like Babbitt and Williams...

didn't I say more on him then just siting PER? Like how he's Patty Mills small and not a PG. Dude's Asst/TO rate was 1.5 to 1... thats a great PG?

the Wolves are a shit team because they have a collection of players like him

Sigh. Okay, you don't like Flynn. I don't know why my agreeing with you is so important, but it's not going to happen. We'll agree to disagree. Oh, and the reason the Wolves suck is that their pieces don't fit with either the system or each other; not that their talent sucks.

 

[STOMP]

you mischaracterizing what I said is what drew my attention Mr. so important. You're welcome to continue thinking a great PG has an Asst/TO ratio of 1.5 to 1... I'm sticking with the rest of the world which thinks that sucks

STOMP

Okay. Once again, I don't understand why you need me to agree with you. Perhaps it's because of my new title, "Mr. So Important". You clearly feel the need to characterize your position as being with the majority. It's okay to have opinions that differ from the crowd; one day, when you grow pubic hair, you'll realize it.

 

[craigehlo]

Rockets are talking Flynn for Brooks. Looks like he actually does have some value amongst league GMs.

 

[Mediocre Man]

Portland should run in the opposite direction from Flynn or Brooks. Young PG's with upside are the last thing this team wants.


It's better to keep things staus Cho

I disagreed with the crowd when I didn't want Flynn coming out of college silly. I didn't want board darlings Alexander or Morrison in their respective drafts either.

I've no need of having anyone here agree with me, especially someone who assigns me a position I didn't express apparently so they can look down their nose. Thats the sort of genius I expect to disagree with. And closing with a witty pubic hair joke confirms it.
