"Repicking the 2010 Draft"

[Rastapopoulos]

??? We didn't trade Drazen for Buck. We traded Sam Bowie for Buck. Drazen and Buck were teammates the entire time Drazen was in Portland. We traded Drazen in a 3-team deal with NJN and DEN that netted us Walter Davis a year and a half after we got Buck from the Nets.

D'Oh. That trade happened the year before I became a Blazers fan and because Drazen and Bowie were both Nets and I knew Bowie was traded for Buck, I assumed Petrovic was a package deal. Made an ass out of me, at least.

I followed the team and cheered for them to beat the 76ers back in' 77 (in my youth, I was a big fan of Walton, both college and NBA), but did not move to Portland until January, 1989. The first Blazers game I attended was the '89-'90 preseason home opener and I was back a couple weeks later for the regular season home opener when they retired Walton's number and honored the inaugural team from 1970. Counting preseason, regular season and playoffs, I attended 25 games that season. I was hooked. I didn't hurt that they made the finals that year.

That was also the same year both Drazen and Buck joined the team - Buck in the off season trade for Sam Bowie, and Drazen as a rookie who had been drafted a couple years before. What a fun team that was to watch, and man the old MC was rocking back then. My ex-wife's company was a major corporate sponsor back then, and we got lots of free tickets. They were either top two rows (regular employee comp tickets) or 4th row (her boss' season tickets when he couldn't attend). Fun times...
