Touché

Not nearly as unlikely though, IMO.

And the Blazers future just got brighter. We had 5 picks and made 5 trades (we have none of the original 5 picks, lol).

Bayless/Diogu for Jack/Rush/McRoberts
2 future 2nd rounders from Bulls for #36 pick (Omer Asik)
#27 (D. Arthur) for cash, then repackaged with #33 (Dorsey) for #19 Batum (who we will keep overseas to develop and save money for next year's free agency)
#55 (Mike Taylor) for Clippers 2009 2nd rounder

So really that is:
Jack
McRoberts
#13
#33
#36
#55
cash

for

Bayless
Batum
Diogu
3 future 2nd rounders

Our GM is ACE!

Alot of big trades and little ones that will do big differences, I think anyway.. This is one of the most exciting parts of the NBA is the draft and the trades.

Wait, make that 4 future 2nd rounders (which will likely be used in trades this time next year, lol). I used to view 2nd rounders as nearly worthless. Now I realize their worth is in trades.

Yeah.. But Lets see what Chris Douglas Roberts does.. He was taken in the 2nd round so..

I'm not saying good players don't come out of the 2nd. I'm just saying 'most' guys drafted in the 2nd are worthless. With a team as deep as the Blazers, 2nd rounders won't even get a chance so they'll really be worthless here.

Btw, I was interviewed again (1:45): http://videos.oregonlive.com/oregonlive/2008/06/fans_love_blazers_draft_day_de.html

Yeah there are usually 3-5 good picks in the 2nd round.. Tops.. Nice

Yeah, I've seen it already, but its still fun. Love had the best reaction, but I think Beasley looked like he recognized Sock A. Smith as well.

The ending with the song was classic. I still think the 1st video in 06 was the best

KG was done. McHale's only merit was that trade. He gave away a cap nightmare who couldn't carry the team for a cornerstone that wouldn't sink the payroll.

didnt realise richard jefferson had been traded to milwauke? under the radar a bit!

Yeah.. Not alot of hype behind that trade..

I have no idea why Baron Davis thinks he will win a title as a Clipper.. Also Chris Paul resigned.
