He has Michael Beasley written all over him. He has talent no doubt but is stubborn and won't get along with teammates.

IIRC he is friends with Marshall and the Morri.

Can Portland really play with CJ and Lillard ? They are basically the same player with CJ being more of a SG.

Except Beasley gets along with teammates just fine... He just sucks.

That d-bag Kobe doesn't get along with teammates... Shabazz could also be something like that... hah.

No shooting guard again that can step into the starting role as as scorer yet again!!

Did Boston just get the #13 AND two future seconds....it has to be Boston giving up 2 second rounders right?

That better be a mistake or McD fails again.

Dallas get the two seconds.

Is Portland gonna actually keep McCollum? They really think that a Lillard-McC backcourt can work?

LOL just cause they hit gold with drafting Lillard from a small school, their doing the same thing with CJ.

I bet we buy a couple late firsts rather than make any big trades at this point.

No, that was a mistake. Why would a team trade three picks for nothing. You can't even do that. Unless they took Marion, and I don't think they can.

We do desperately need a closer cuz 95% of games go down the stretch and without a clutch player the losses will pile up.

Fun fact about Alex Lens' girlfriend. Her name is Essence...

NO with Holiday/Gordon/Anderson/Davis/Lopez, and Kerrsed's favorite player, Austin Rivers

Utah with Burke who is probably ready to contribute immediately...

And these are teams I figured would be like 10th/11th. If Dallas somehow ends up with Howard, the dog fight for 8th spot could be huge.

West is always going to be a dog fight, but next year looks like it will be insane. Lot of teams pushing to make the playoffs.

Maybe that's why we picked Alex Len, no excitement, no hope

#TankforWiggins2014

I feel like drinking till unconciousness

You and me both my friend. It's not that I dislike Len. I think he'll be good for us but there are so few good SG's in this league right now. Why wouldn't you pull he trigger on one that has the chance to be a top 5 SG in this league. We were terrible from three last year and Mc D said as much in his initial press conference. I'm just not ecstatic about the pick. I will still root for Len. I have no idea where we will find a SG though.

Didn't we trade Kurt Thomas and two first rounders for nothing?

Yea he's sure working hard passing up on the better prospects while staying PAT after other teams are making trades.

And why didn't we get in on this Dallas trade?

I think that report of us red-flagging Noel's knee must've been true...

Hornacek said we're keeping Gortat.

And there goes Shabazz.

Post #340 » by **bwgood77** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 1:06 am

If the price for the 13th pick in this draft was two future 2nd round picks, we must not be trying too hard to get another pick at this point.
