Who should Portland take?

[ThaNuggs]

I am thinking Morrison if he drops.

 

[BrewCityBuck]

I definatly think Morrison is there at #4, he doesn't fit in the top 3 picks. It's well documented that I don't care for Morrison but who knows who they pick.

Rodney Carney. He's got enough range to stretch defenses, and is an amazing athlete who can play lockdown defense. I've been telling everyone I know that Carney is the perfect fit for the Blazers, but everyone in the Pacific Northwest is in love with Morrison. I think Morrison is an average pro at best, maybe a 6th man, but no superstar, and Rodney has Superstar potential.

Adam Morrison, he's clean cut and squeaky clean (aside from the moustache), from the northwest, could potentially be a guy to buld your team around.They need some sort of positive influence in this organization, they are in dire straits as it is right now.

Id say Carney or Gay but if there is a good Center available they should take him. They need a good inside presence or a replacement for Miles. If it was between Carney or Gay, Id take Gay. He is younger, more athletic IMO, and can become great with the right coaching.

Tyrus Thomas, he will be the future of this team, since Randolph has a chance of leaving and so does Ratliff, they will need him as a post player, because the Blazers don't have too many post players.

If I was Portland I'd take a shooter like Rudy Gay or Adam Morrison, but that's just me.

I would Draft the center from Texas LaMarcus Aldridege how ever you spell his name.Here Is what I got in mined.PG: S. Telfair SG: M. Webster SF: T. Outlaw or D. MilesPF: Z. Randoph C: L. AldridegeThats a strong Top 5 that could score mad points.

<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>PG: S. Telfair SG: M. Webster SF: T. Outlaw or D. MilesPF: Z. Randoph C: L. Aldridege</div>that's a disaster waiting to happenMiles and Randolph won't be on the Blazers next year, both of them were suspended for conduct being detrimental to the team. For Miles it was his last strike there is no way he will be on the team next year. Randolph probably won't be on the team unless he makes a huge apology and somehow drops weight and returns to the player he was two years ago which is almost guaranteed that won't happen. Outlaw isn't ready to start yet and neither is Telfair. Telfair sucks at shooting and watching him he looks he will develop into a poor man's Stephon Marbury. Portland needs to grab a few of the young guys, clean house with their veterans and start all over again. They are so messed up right now.

Thomas and Aldridge will be gone by #4. I say it's Brandon Roy because Nate is high on him and with their management in sort of a mess, I could see them going with Nate's guy. If not him, then Morrison. Morrison could fall to the Mavericks, j/k but if Cats and Blazers pass, he could fall.

I love the people that bring up that Morrison has a great image and won't get into trouble when Tyrus Thomas, Rodney Carney and Rudy Gay have never done anything wrong...Why won't people admit that it's because he's white...honestly...

[BrewCityBuck]

Nobody said it but it may as well be said...I've seen it suggested that they take Morrison because of his good reputation and thats he's a good guy...when in reality nobody in this draft besides Marcus Williams has had any problems.
