Who Would You Take?

[e_blazer]

Okay, just because I'm bored...

Let's say that the Blazers could pick ONLY ONE player from the combined rosters of the four remaining teams in the playoffs. Each team can choose it's top two players to make safe from being selected. Let's say Cleveland goes with James and Kyrie, Toronto saves DeRozan and Lowry, the Thunder make Durant and Westbrook off-limits, and the Warriors go with Curry and Green. So, of the players available to "draft", which one guy do you think would help the Blazers the most?

 

[PDXFonz]

GSW - Draymond Green
OKC - Steven Adams
CLE - Dahntay Jones
TOR - Terrance Ross

Only one guy, and Green is off-limits.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Jonas Valanciunas.
Serge Ibaka.
Kevin Love.
Klay Thompson.

 

[THE HCP]

Klay
Adams
Love
Valaciunespoiybunis

 

[e_blazer]

Klay Thompson

Yeah, that's the obvious choice, but do you think he would help the Blazers the most?

Whoops my bad. I saw pick one player then thought about the nut punch squad and didn't read anymore. My bad FAMS, nothing to see here.

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Id probably go ibaka. But valanciunas would be very tempting.

 

[e_blazer]

Jonas Valanciunas.
Serge Ibaka.
Kevin Love.
Klay Thompson.

Which ONE are you going to take?

 

[e_blazer]

Klay
Adams
Love
Valaciunespoiybunis

Only ONE, FAMS!

 

[THE HCP]

Oh, I thought you said one from each team.

I think Love would help us the most

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Ibaka can hit jumpers and actually play defense.

 

[Spud147]

I'm taking Love... droppin' dimes, droppin' dimes

 

[BBert]

It's between Thompson and Love. I think, today, I'd go with Love.

 

[e_blazer]

Oh, I thought you said one from each team.

I think Love would help us the most

Question has now been edited for clarity.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Thompson or Adams. Not sure which Thompson is a better player, but Adams is a bigger need for us.

 

[e_blazer]

Yeah, I think he might be a good fit here, too, but last night's underwhelming performance kind of scares me off.

 

[e_blazer]

Thompson or Adams. Not sure which Thompson is a better player, but Adams is a bigger need for us.

I want to hear him sing first, make sure he's not a soprano now.

 

[Orion Bailey]

Oh, I thought you said one from each team.

Actually, I dounno how I forgot about him but Love would be better than either one I think.

I take Love over Klay or Adams.

 

[KingSpeed]

Love

 

[HolyBackboard]

Klay. You always go BPA. Teams wouldn't dare to double Dame and CJ with Klay lurking on the perimeter ...

 

[JfizzleBlazer]

Why the f are you guys choosing adams over valanciunas or ibaka? That makes no sense.

Any of the 3 would be great. And I'd add Love to round out the list to a solid 4. I'm guessing Adams over Valanciunas just because people are watching Adams play while V is sitting on the bench.

I'd choose all of the others over Klay because Klay isn't much of an improvement over CJ, while all of the 4 mentioned bigs are huge upgrades over our bigs. (I also think Klay is overrated - much like most of the GSW team.)

Klay. You always go BPA. Teams wouldn't dare to double Dame and CJ with Klay lurking on the perimeter ...

Klay is big enough to start at SF. That'd be insane.

 

[BBert]

Klay. You always go BPA. Teams wouldn't dare to double Dame and CJ with Klay lurking on the perimeter ...

That would be insanely lethal.

Love would also stretch the floor plus he'd be good in the pick and roll or pop

 

[riverman]

Of the teams remaining I pick Durant all day long ...he'd rule basketball in Stotts system

The OP said Durant is off-limits.

 

[Hobbesarable]

Gotta go Defense with this pick: Ibaka.
