Ready to be disappointed... again

[Cippy91]

I mean outside of pick 15, what about the other two are worth getting excited for? Everybody likes to bring in the late round superstars in the league but those are rare. Houston is involved every year in discussions and they have had a good team year after year. Last summer was such a failure, the only good thing to come out of last season is nurk. Overpayed for turner and crabbes contract is disgusting. Paid Meyers more. To me this is more like a redeem yourself moment. Dame wants pg, cj does. I get it, it's short term, at least let me find out you were aggressive in talks, let me know we are trying to win now because overpaying turner, crabbe, keeping Meyers. That's not much of a winning thing to do.

And all this talk of assets from Neil. Do something with it, don't be Danny ainge

What disappoints me... Not a single "Hold on to your shorts" post. The ruckus in here just isn't complete without some shorts holding.

Why are you disappointed? This is literally how it always plays out with NO. No leaks ever. You saw that Kim Hughes got fired for that right?

 

[dviss1]

Like that point guard we drafted a few years back who missed most of his junior year because of a broken foot, or the one we drafted that next year who had missed most of his senior season with the same injury. Those guys were total busts.

Great post.

A good draft day to me might just be trading 20/26 and some mathcing player salery for Anthony to NY
using 15 as BPA {dont think I want to use this for Anthony)
and 26/20 to draft a big

AND trust the billionair and his GM to decide well (who am I anyway)

Danny Ainge has done a great job in Boston.

Right!?!?

Let's just juice it up in the rumor mill here....I'm tempted to start a thread about us bringing back Lamarcus, Wes, Nico, Rolo, Patty Mills, Channing Frye and Steve Blake, Tim Frazier and Luke Babbitt for all our draft picks and we keep Nurk, Dame and CJ!

 

[dviss1]

bringing back Lamarcus,

He has but you can argue Neil has done a good job here too. I'm just saying with the whole asset thing they are alike

I was bored......I did read an article saying it would be good for Lamarcus.....then I snorted scotch out of both nostrils....what a waste of scotch

The HCP will be in the NYC from tomorrow till Sunday for work. He will be attending the draft as a Blazer fan. He will be bringing some of the Latin Mojo he is known for! He sees good things on the horizon for our team! #FAMS

So credit if it goes well and endless blame if it doesn't.

Talk to @Strenuus - he's always grabbing at or holding on to folks' pants and shorts.

Hey man, when I'm out and about, I like to tell the ladies "Hey, you're gonna get the belt tonight."

Arnovitz didn't think it likely because of the 'pragmatist' attitude of the Blazer front office. He did advocate talking to PG's agent and determining if the chances were better than 42% (3 out of 7) and then he would take the chance. Any lower than that and he would say be very hesitant. He didn't comment on what he thought a year with Dame/CJ/Nurk would do to increase that percentage.

@Mote .... there just isn't anything concrete enough this year for any 'shorts holding'. Some rumors here and there from some solid sources but nothing substantial and nothing I can confirm with another source. It seems like they are trying and no one thinks too highly of Portland's players that are being offered.
