The Draft Game

[mook]

1. Who are the rotation-level players Portland adds, either in draft or trade? (either on draft night or in deals that get done on draft night but aren't consummated for whatever arcane reason until three weeks later)?


2. How many total players get drafted and then traded away by Portland?


3. What current players does Portland lose?


4. What's the highest draft pick Portland gets and actually picks with?


5. What moronic fuckhead thing will Stephen A Smith say? (Answer must be in ALL CAPS and include a minimum of 5 exclamation points in order to qualify.)


5. Adios Travis? (Y/N)


6. Adios Fernandez? (Y/N)


7. Predict the "steal" of the draft


8. Predict the guy who was picked way too damned high


9. When it's all said and done, how do you think most people on this board will grade Portland's draft night by the following day?

Winner gets, I dunno, added to my sig or something. I don't really care about the sig, since I have visibility turned off, so you might be on there for a long damned time.

Winner will be judged at my whim in an unscientific and possibly incoherent manner. Bribes accepted.

I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT ESPN CANNED ME. I CAN NOT BELIEVE THAT I AM NOT ALLOWED TO MAKE A FOOL OF MYSELF ON TV. WHERE ARE MY CHEESE DOODLES?

Obviously - he will be saying it in front of his TV watching the draft...

1. Who are the rotation-level players Portland adds, either in draft or trade? (either on draft night or in deals that get done on draft night but aren't consummated for whatever arcane reason until three weeks later)?

Chris Paul and Danny Granger.

2. How many total players get drafted and then traded away by Portland?

14.

3. What current players does Portland lose?

Blake, Bayless, Batum, Webster and Outlaw.

4. What's the highest draft pick Portland gets and actually picks with?

Brandon Jennings strikes me as a likely stoner. I'll say the Blazers draft him and he'll be highest.

5. What moronic fuckhead thing will Stephen A Smith say? (Answer must be in ALL CAPS and include a minimum of 5 exclamation points in order to qualify.)

I DON'T LIKE WHAT PORTLAND IS DOING HERE. WHAT HAS CHRIS PAUL EVER WON?? WHAT HAS DANNY GRANGER EVER WON?? I'M BAD AT MY JOB!!!!!

5. Adios Travis? (Y/N)

Si.

6. Adios Fernandez? (Y/N)

Nope.

7. Predict the "steal" of the draft

Dante Cunningham. Half Dante Culpepper, half Randall Cunningham.

8. Predict the guy who was picked way too damned high

Slava Kravtsov.

9. When it's all said and done, how do you think most people on this board will grade Portland's draft night by the following day?

Cautiously optimistic. Just enough baking for the bakers, just enough chaos for the rest.

9. When it's all said and done, how do you think most people on this board will grade Portland's draft night by the following day?

1. No pick. Draft picks moved for future considerations.
2. 4
3. All current unrestricted free agents.
4. They don't pick.
5. WHAT IS PORTLAND THINKING? TRADING AWAY ALL OF YOUR DRAFT PICKS?
6. No
7. No
8. Curry, if he can be deemed a steal. It all depends on where he is picked up, and how many PG are picked in front of him.
9. Chase Budinger. Somebody will stupidly draft him in the 1st round.
10. Draft Grade: Incomplete because there will be no draft pick.

I am surprised you did not add a category for draft "Slider".
