Connaughton is an undrafted free agent I thought? or did we trade for him? Even if so, not saying its much.
I agree this is something that should be the motto of the organization. PA and NO should be scouting the best scouts out there and get them on team Blazers!!!
Now granted, the last two years, this wasn't the best way to improve the team, because they wouldn't have made an immediate impact and we were going all in to win. But now???
We should absolutely should be the Oakland A's of the nba. We spread guys throughout the country, scouting top highschool players. We should have scouts all over the NCAA. How about scouts in the Euro league?
Rast, maybe you know an inside track about Blazers scouting over seas?
I don't know how much we do have currently, but it absolutely should be much, much more. This should be PA's top investment in the staff. If he has to, he should be going after other teams scouts if they are so much better. Pay them more. Whatever it takes, but we should have guys planted all over the world looking for the next unknown star.
