I was curious how you got your interpretation from that bit. Then I read the whole transcript, and REALLY wondered. I do expect them to deal one, or both, picks. Maybe for a player. Maybe to move up. But that transcript sounded more like they were gearing up to keep the picks than to deal them.
Not really clear. He says "acquire" not "draft" the two best players. But, he also mentions two players, not best player(s), which implies using the picks. The main thing is he is not interested in using the picks for second tier players. So, I'm sure he would use them to acquire a young vet with potential or use them in the draft--as he should.
And then this: Right now, I just think there's more value to the organization long-term with what we're going to acquire at No. 6 and No. 11 than what we would be able to get back if we conveyed those to somebody else. And this (which you used above, but if you continue on with the next two sentences, really changes the context and meaning from what you read out of it): We will acquire the two best players for the franchise by using 6 and 11. I may walk back in there and have three voicemails that completely change my mind. But right now, what we're going to get 6 and 11 in this Draft will set up the best course of action for us going forward.
Did Lamb really say he admires Crawchuck's game, as in, thinks that's a good way to play? See ya Lamb. Nice never knowin' ya. (I hope.)
One of the reports said it looked like he was 80% on the ankle, which sounds like he was a step slow to me. Also, on the video at blazers.com, his three looks a bit odd. Nice quick release, but not as consistent as I thought it might be.
I reckon I find this so funny because of my roots at Oregon State. Makes me laugh and sad all at once. March 19, 2005 Oregon State player caught drunk with gay sheep I can't even begin to imagine the taunts that teammates and opposing fans are going to have for Oregon State defensive tackle Ben Michael Siegert. Siegert was arrested this past week for DUI. A starter for the Beavers, Siegert blew a 0.14 blood alcohol level some 90 minutes after being arrested. During the traffic stop, he was found to be in possession of a ram from the university's Sheep Center. A Benton County Sheriff's deputy found the animal in the bed of a pickup after pulling Siegert over for speeding on Southwest Whiteside Drive about 1:34 a.m.... The ram lives at the research facility on 35th Street near Campus Way and is part of a study on homosexuality in sheep, said Sheep Center manager Tom Nichols.
Your avatar is ironic. The lamb was bent just like the guy in your picture. And as far as that dude's head is in the sand..... that's how deeps HCP's face was into Lamb.
Geoff Calkins: Marquis Teague looked awful for Griz today. Explanation was that it's the end of workouts, he's beat, but it's only a day after Wroten. 3 minutes ago
