Odds&Ends

[AquaXI]

Any one question I had was just too weak for its own thread so I thought to Corral the many question this novice has in a single thread. Feel free to add a "Sniglet" of your own.

Q: obviously Plumlee is on the out looking in due to overcrowded payroll. Would it be easier to teach Plums Leonard's skills or Leonard Plums skills? As to keeping one over the other. ( probably need to add an effective assistant as it has not happened yet.)

Q: with the dozens of talk about trades and the need of it, how's about just using the draft picks that we are dealt or have and take a chance that way? Any mocks with Prospects falling to us?

Q: anyone Lucky enough to share a Blazers surname and have bought a Jersey even if they are bench players? I'm still waiting for mine.

OT Q: seems Seattle is the front runner as an expansion franchise. That said, should they still be Supersonics after Boeing moving Headquaters? Or are Seattleites attached to it? ( I'm from Hawaii so I figure you up there have a better understanding.)

I've given up on Leonard learning any skills. Plumlee developing a reliable jumpshot seems much more likely.

Draftexpress' current mock has Duke freshman Harry Giles available at our pick, and UNC junior Justin Jackson available with the Cavs pick we own. I would be very excited to see those two added to our squad this summer. Also they have some 7'2" cat named Jonathan Jeanne who looks like he could be another Rudy Gobert if he can add a couple stone to his rail-thin frame.

I SOOOOO wanted a Dorrell Wright #1 jersey when he was on the squad, but I could never justify spending the money on it. It was on my Christmas list for a couple years, but I never got one.

IMO, the Sonics name has history that shouldn't be ignored. I don't care if Boeing is leaving; if Seattle gets a new franchise, they should get their old name back, and all the history and records that goes with it.
