The Draft is Next.....start the Tank

[GDiama]

At least the other two picks are coming down. Maybe if we combine all of them we can get a top 10 one

Blazers pick down to #15
Really sucking at tanking.

Right in the sweet spot for hartenstein

Our GM and coach played this perfectly. We "tanked", then gave the Nuggets the "missing piece" for their playoffs aspirations and got their left overs. Just to turn around and re-ignite the Daemons in us. The Blazers have just shown the league exactly how tanking is supposed to be done.
Jusuf Nurkic is our first round draft pick for next season.
Now, if we could just package the other 3 first round picks we have to move up this draft and select a stud PF or SF, this would be great.

We don't need to move up for him.

Bosnian tanks know only victory!

Didn't they tie Herzegovina back in the 90s?

Reality is we still need to hit big with whatever we decide to do with these picks, if we want to take the next step.

Boom. Exactly

No problem in f----- the Tank....now that they are playing better. At the time, they were playing like a joke and needed all the help they could get. Making the #8 seed with a projected 35 wins would have been worthless. Now they are playing at much higher level and more at least like a Playoff team. Will likely still lose in the 1st round but there is a huge difference in how they are playing now compared to before.

Gotta stay on the attack still. We lose to HOU tomorrow, and we're right back with same # of losses as DEN. Not necessarily out of the woods just yet.

So, if Nurkic was coming out of college this year, where would he be ranked to be picked?

Top 3, probably... there would be concerns about his attitude and The competition he's facing, and of course Lonzo Ball's dad and Jusuf's dad getting into the bar fight during the Sweet 16 round resulting in Ball's amazing tribute game for his recently deceased dad really ups his stock...

Ball's dad would be a lot less of a pain in the ass after Nurk's dad cleaned his clock.

Papa Nurk to the police: "I tapped him on the shoulder. He stopped talking after that."

I have a feeling we would be hearing a lot less nonsense from Ball after Sr. Nurkic had a chat with him.
