    I like Lamb and the #22 as well especially if the Blazers think they are going to lose Crabbe. As of now though, that cuts in their cap quite a bit. Lamb has finally started to show signs of the talent he had in college and still has that massive 6'11" wingspan that you like in a defender.



    If that is true about Maker, that has to drop him quite a bit as he was considered very raw for 19. If he is that raw at 22 most will think his ship has sailed.

    The only way you lose Crabbe imo is if you can't spend your other free money in time on someone or some people.

    Posted in another thread but applies here as well:
    Crabbe might get 12 MIL but he still only counts as 2.7 MIL to us for 3 days after July 7th while we decide to match or not. So we have from July 1st to July 6th during the memorandum to get someone to agree to use up our cap space and then from July 7th to July 10th for someone to officially sign before matching on Crabbe.

    I'm tempted to merge the summer and draft day threads. Seems like people are posting the same thing in each thread.

    Draft Express just released an updated mock draft. Not sure what has changed, although it looks as if Deyonta Davis and Ivica Zubac moved up, possibly Sabonis a little also. Guerschon Yabasele has replaced Paul Zipser as first to go in the second round. http://www.draftexpress.com/nba-mock-draft/2016/

    Just lock the summer one until after the draft and then unlock it.

    I don't think merge is the answer if you aren't up for locking temporarily but what do I know?

    Tough to have a party when you dont have any draft picks. I heard that there isnt even a post draft press conference scheduled, no media invite. Maybe a sign that we arent planning on making any picks.

    Do you guys really think the Blazers will do something groundbreaking in the draft?

    Probably not, but I think they will get at least one second round pick.

    No, nobody thinks they will do anything "groundbreaking". We're still going to pay attention though. You're welcome to do so as well.

    We'd need at least the #3 to get him. I like Kris Dunn too. He looks like a stud. But I'd also like some thoughts on what assets we'd need to give up for such a high pick for a guy who won't ever start for us. :dunno:

    We had a pick in at least one of the two rounds last year so of course there was a party.

    The year before we had no pick going into the draft. Was there a party then? That is the question to be asking. And, I don't know the answer off-hand.
