I think it was just a typo, and that he didn't mean to add Aminu and Davis to the Ezeli trade. Both trades are reflected in the depth chart he listed so I don't think it is an "either or". He posts so many wild trade ideas that I had to take the opportunity for a "gotcha"

It is an either or. Trade one in each.
 
Our options are wide open with the addition of three first round picks. I can't remember another draft with this much excitement or possible outcomes. The crazy draft trade possibilities by all the basement dwellers (:hello:) on here are entertaining to say the least. Who knows what's going to happen on draft day. I do know we will all be watching, waiting for our team to be announced for either the pick or a trade.

I love the draft!

Today's top 3 are

Z Collins

H Diallo (JDC) / T Ferguson

Bell / Thornwell

Subject to change other than Collins.
 


Similar to Donovan Mitchell, Frank Jackson is a guy that's really going to rise once workouts ramp up. Will interview well too. Well-spoken and has some personality to him.

Charlotte at #11 is probably his ceiling, but don't think he makes it past the Bucks at #17.
 
It's interesting how different some of the Mock Drafts are in relation to whom the Blazers select. Anigbodu is #15 in Draft Express and #35 at NBADraft.net. For years, NBADraft.net was the more accurate of the two but that has change in the last couple of years.

Draft Express............NBADraft.net
#15 Anigbogu.............TJ Leaf. (Anigbogu #35 at NBA Draft and Leaf #23 at Draft Express)
#20 Rabb..................Diallo (Rabb #22 at NBA Draft and Diallo #35 at Draft Express)
#26 Landon...............Dwayne Bacon (Landon #23 on NBA Draft and Bacon #55 at Draft Express)

Those tend to get more in sync the closer we get to the Draft but for now, there is quite a gap.

Today I Learned one of our posters is better at soccer than
Darlington Nagbe
Age: 26

Position: Winger

Guaranteed Compensation: $565,000

Key stats: Nagbe is one of three original MLS Timbers left on the roster. Nagbe is incredibly talented with the ball at his feet and has been a major asset for Portland in transition since 2011. Nagbe's most productive season came in 2013 when he recorded nine goals and four assists. He already has two goals and three assists in seven starts this year.

Never watched him play so I can't say for sure.
I said the few people better than me in Soccer are millionaires, I'm willing to put it more accurately and say most of them are millionaires

So Uncle Rico, if there are so few soccer players in the world who are better than you, why aren't you capitalizing on your impressive talent and playing professional soccer?

It was his coach's fault. If only he would have played him in high school his team would have won State!

His demanding schedule posting here and teaching us about Blazers basketball doesn't allow for that. It doesn't even allow him time to watch Blazers games.
 
I'm playground, and already a bit too old to start a career right now. But who knows, maybe I would find some team to give me a chance, the problem is you're not the only skeptics

Talent is undeniable. Either you have it, or you don't. Have you ever watched The Rookie? It's never too late.

this was proposed by a non Por fan on a trade board, would U do it?

"Assuming Fultz and Ball are off the board when #3 is up, Philly offers #3, PHI '18 (top-three protected), Okafor, and OKC '20 for CJ McCollum"

LOL

They would never offer all that
Click to expand...
they might not but it has not been as scoffed at at you might think, CJ is about as perfect a fit as you can have in Philly IMO and sometimes you have to overpay somewhat to get what you want/need and Philly is in a position to do that. But a trade like could really re-shape the team and infuse more talent, balance the roster, and solve the cap issue in one stroke and gives us a lot of possibilities with out other picks in trade or drafting.

Hasn't been scoffed at by who?
 
I've warmed up to Collins so much, I want him and Bell.

The only thing that still concerns me about Collins is his very small sample size.

Hell yes. Pick up a transformational wing, a backup C and have several other picks to work with. But it wouldn't happen.

It's because his soccer coach was talking too much and he got annoyed and kicked the ball. He didn't even use all of his power in his kick but it still bounced off of a satellite. It isn't his fault that he has that kind of power. The few people that have more power than him are actually nuclear power plants and not actually people. Needless to say, he was kicked off of the team.
 
I envy Boston -- Fultz and Zizic is about as good a draft as you'd get. I wonder what they could get for IT?

Zizic would be a surefire top-10 pick in this draft.

Anigbogu looks like he could be the biggest riser on draft day.

New York might trade 8 down to 15 to take him.

I've arranged myself an invitation to a workout with a 4th division team (a team representing the city closest to where I live), still not the Champions league but it's a foot in the door

Why? They might have the opportunity to pick up one of Monk, Isaac and Dennis Smith at 8. At least one of them will be available with that pick and it's fairly likely that it's going to be Smith who has a much higher potential than Jackson.

They could trade Carmelo to get a pick in the 15-20 range IMO. Given Chicago's policy of picking up older players (Rondo, Wade) they could probably acquire their #16 pick for Carmelo + 2nd rounder.
 
Ooooh boy, this is getting good! Is this the modern version of "I have a girlfriend in Canada"?

If you make the team, will you reveal who you are? Then you'll be a public sports figure, after all!

Maybe Sly can arrange a meet & greet with you.
