    Tell that to KP, who spoke like Mills, Pendergraph and Cunningham will all be on the roster next season. He likes all of them and they were the players he targeted going into the day.

    Nate likes the players also. He saw plenty of Pendergraph considering Nate's son plays for Arizona St.

    The Blazers had a good draft. Don't get upset just because you don't know anything about them.

    What an ignorant post. The Blazers bench this year will be better than last years

    Bayless
    Fernandez
    Webster/Batum
    ?
    Przybilla

    Yes, terrible.

    So we have no back-up 4 and if Webster and Batum are on the bench, who is our starting 3?

    Pendergraph will most like be the backup 4. The Blazers think he can play right away and provide good defense.

    Idk who will be the starter between Webster and Batum, and whoever isn't the starter, will be the backup most likely. Let's say Batum is the starter again.

    Bayless
    Fernandez
    Webster
    Pendergraph
    Przybilla

    That bench does not suck.

    Of course he would say that.

    He likes our team.

    Travis has done good things for us.

    We knew we could get our guys late in the draft.

    All three of these new players will make an impact.

    Please have another glass of my kool aid and move along.

    Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I thought only management can paint that picture for us. Since you know, can you let us all in?

    Seems like a rationale approach is to wait to see what the team looks like after the trade/free agent dust settles.

    Did some of you people just turn into Knicks fans who boo the picks no matter what?

    What an epic fucking meltdown and overreaction.

    Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    So you'd prefer to have kept Zach Randolph still? I'd rather have Lamarcus Aldridge developing into an All Star, Rudy Fernandez, the free agent spending money we'll have this off season, and having the positive influence of Jones and Frye in the locker room over the past couple of seasons. This did net us 54 wins I might add.

    You keep Zach though, k? See how that works out.

    Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Perhaps we are the ones who have pritchslapped ourselves for:

    1. Inventing the term Pritchslap.
    2. Expecting tons of action from the front office on draft day every year.

    Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    1) No, I don't think we necessarily should have Zach now. You are ignoring the point of the post to be cute. Not surprising, it's been a long day for all of us. I think we should get good value for our trades - we didn't.

    2) You are ignoring the fact that we, as fans, have paid for the trade with less wins and more losses.

    Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Days before the draft "KP BETTER ADD VETS WE DONT WANT TO ADD ANY MORE YOUNG GUYS TO THIS ROSTER!!!"

    After the Draft "KP BLEW IT HE DIDNT DRAFT THIS YOUNG GUY I WANTED! KP IS WORTHLESS CAUSE HE DIDNT GET A YOUNG GUY!!!"

    Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There is some truth to this, but KP

    1) Got more rookies when his coach didn't want more rookies, and we were already the youngest team....
    2) Got rookies who will take up cap space, defeating his own cap space plan.
    3) Now that I think of it, I don't think KP Pritchslapped himself, I think he Pritchslapped US!

    Re: KP choking again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I'm actually hoping there's some logical explanation for all of this. There was in previous years. Anyone know of an article that interviewed KP tonight?

    Re: 3 more rookie scrubs! exactly what we did not need!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Please explain how Pendergraph, Cunningham, and Mills are less than Frye, Randolph, and Bayless.

    What I see are similarly talented, yet younger players with renewed potential and at lower or as low salaries. Plus, the incoming bigs provide skills that Portland needs more, bringing in defense and toughness.

    This year's Mills will be able to fill the same role that last year's Bayless did; however, given Mills' greater experience, I expect his inconsistencies to be less.

    This might be a moot point though. Who knows where these players are headed. Pritch did mention that Mills has a passport, so maybe he's going to encourage him to play overseas for one season.

    I'm pretty sure that they still have a cap hold, signed or not.
