So this is what it feels like to be on the other side of a Pritch-slap.
 
If all the injuries weren't bad enough we have to put up with this GARBAGE of a front office.

This team is being ran by a bunch of amateurs.

So does this mean you don't want Buchanan to get the "interim" label dropped? :grin:
 
Rudy and Dre for fucking Felton. God, I need to get away from this. FUCK YOU PAUL ALLEN!
 
Hate to say it, but I've been trying to tell you this about the Blazer ownership group for years now.

It's almost like Paul Allen intentionally sabotages himself when things get too successful. Must have something to do with his guilt over by a rich guy's best friend in the early days of MicroSoft?

Hey! Bert's got this.

Is Bert in the war room today? I find it hard to believe that he would be involved in draft-day dealings.

Signings? I can see that. But the granular trade-swapping deals? Like I said: I find it hard to believe.

Ed O.
 
This has been a catastrophe of a draft if the trades are going to happen as reported...
 
I bet we get out of the first round next year with Felton. so it will be a success.
 
You know it's a sad day when you envy David Kahn's draft day pull.
 
I'm embarrassed to be a Blazer fan right now. It's one thing to get shorted on a trade, but to get shorted on a trade at the expense of a division rival is just too much.

Sell the team, Paul. You're hurting the entire city.
 
Someone should have let them know that you do not start with your second round pick. Total whiff/reach brought to you by the Babbitt, Williams and Johnson braintrust! The lockout can't get here fast enough to handcuff these fools.

Don't forget Claver.
 
You know what makes this worse?

Is that not only did we have to trade Rudy AND Koponen to DAL to get the #26 and trade with Miller for Felton, but as PART of the deal (allegedly) DEN SPECIFICALLY told POR they could NOT take Faried...

I mean could DEN have screwed POR ANY WORSE for Felton?

One of the WORST DRAFTS I have ever seen run by POR mgmt, this may eclipse last year...

Oh, and we still don't have any answers at PF\C....

Yeah, it's pretty fucking bad dude. You'd think that Felton was Rajon Rondo or something. Talk about a reach, and I'm not talking about Smith.
 
How is Miller/Rudy/Koponen/2nd rounder for Felton/Hamilton a bad trade?
 
So, we get worse and help make a division rival better. Yeah, what a red letter day for the Blazers. That red letter being an F.

So, when did Chad Buchanan become the head of college scouting? When was the last time we drafted, or made a draft day trade for, a college player who wasn't absolute shit - who actually lived up to expectations and was better than other college players still on the board? Batum was the last player we drafted to justify his draft position - and he wasn't a college player. Buchanan was horrible at identifying college talent and is very rapidly proving himself to be a horrible interim GM.

But hey, he makes Paul Allen comfortable, so that's all that matters, right?

I thought we were in "win now" mode, not "get worse now".

If POR does getHamilton then not AS bad, but that has not been confirmed that Hamilton is coming here...

Felton/Hamilton for Miller/Rudy/Koponen is a failure?

I think it's OK. A 'C' at this point.

Dumb post, and too long, as usual.
 
I don't think we got fleeced. But it's like a bleh/blah feeling right now. Kind of underwhelming. Losing Rudy isn't that big of a deal since we've got Roy/Mattews/Batum who could fill his shoes. And replacing Miller with Felton is a wait-and-see kind of thing but he is younger.

Not drafting Faried is a head-scratcher. We'll never get that bruising, hard-nosed backup PF!!!!!
