Sly Poker Dog ‏@SlyPokerDog - @pdxtrailblazers I guess I should probably get an agent and some new shoes.

Trail Blazers ‏@pdxtrailblazers - @SlyPokerDog Non-marking soles only, Sly!

I get a chance to be the Blazer's 3rd round draft pick and no one is happy for me or wants to be my agent?!?

And I thought we were all friends.

I'd just like to point out that I have all of my meniscus and have never had microfracture surgery.

until you make the team. That's when it all falls apart.

Yes, but can you stroke it with your left hand?

Sly is ambidickstrous

Same day as my 15th wedding anniversary. Not a good sign.

Happy anniversary Michael! I would think it's a great sign if they are working people out on your anniversary. 15 years is quite a haul with your lovely wife.

ill beat up anyone that tries to take a picture of you sly

 

[Rastapopoulos]

Of those, BJ Young is fun to watch. He's blazing fast. Sounds like a headcase though.

I have had my Bar Mitzvah which I believes is 40% of the qualifications to be an agent. I'll rep you for 15%.

 

[3RA1N1AC]

bj young looks like he has the eurostep down

I'm going to read this statement by Olshey as a sign we're taking Schröder:

Best player available or draft for need?

We're always going to take the best player available. We're always. Players are assets. What you need are assets and talent. I don't think we're deep enough at any position to not look at one through five positionally at whoever the best player is on the board. That's exactly where we're going to go regardless of position.
That's one of the things with mock drafts, as you follow these, most mock drafts are based on need. Every GM in the league says they draft on talent and every mock draft is based on need. We have conflicting agendas for the most part. We're going to get the most talented guy we can get at 10, and we're going to add him to our roster and hope he blossoms and we're going to continue to build our talent base.

i have a feeling we are targeting tony Mitchell somehow we either a second round pick or somehow acquiring a later first round pick to take him

I'm going to read this statement by Olshey as a sign we're taking Schröder:

And you think he's the BPA at 10? Based on what? If you go the international rout I think you go Saric.

 

[HailBlazers]

Harder process this year with less of a consensus in quality of top prospects?

I don't really care what the consensus is. I really don't. I don't think the consensus was a 6-foot point guard from Weber State last year either and he's the fourth unanimous Rookie of the Year in the history of the NBA.
Consensus is for mock drafts and internet chatter, expertise is for making your selection. That's what 30 teams are doing right now. It sounds great, everybody can kind of banter on message boards and internet mock drafts, it doesn't have anything to do with what the 30 teams are doing in the gym and in their draft rooms.

Baller.

[BBert]

Take that S2!

 

[Rastapopoulos]

And you think he's the BPA at 10? Based on what? If you go the international rout I think you go Saric.

Remember, I rate defense as much as offense.

Apparently DJ Cooper of Ohio University (Gary Trent's alma mater) is one of the players coming in tomorrow.
