Event 2018 NBA Draft

Depends if we have enough. I was thinking of this as a YouTube creator thing. Will probably still do the same thing with posters on this forum if theyre interested.

 

I'm not sure what YouTube creator means. Are you talking about people that have their own channel and stuff?

 

A couple 2nd round prospects I really like are Jevon Carter and Alize Johnson.

 

Yes.

 

Who give a shit about 2nd rd prospects... you think there are minutes for 2nd rounders to be had for a team trying to make the 2nd rd of playoffs... stop thinking so small... this team needs big changes

 

Draymond Green was a second rounder... due dilligence can change franchises

 

Maybe I should go buy a powerball ticket

 

It's not random chance, it's called good scouting.

 

Jacob Evans III and Moritz Wagner are also very underrated.

 

Lmao. You're the one thinking small my friend. Thinking that we need to make sweeping changes for what? To rebuild or contend?

You proposed trading Nurkic for DeAndre Jordan at the trade deadline and flipped out because I thought it was a horrible move. After the trade deadline, Nurkic was the much better player, who's younger, and not declining.

The right 2nd round picks can take a good team to elite status. I'm sure we'd love to add Patrick Beverly and Marvin Williams to this team for $1M a piece. That's what those guys could be. There's 15 roster spots. We have to make the most out of each one to try to build up that asset capital to make a move that pushes us over the top.

 

FYI, this is an NBA draft thread, not a "The Blazers need to trade everyone for every draft pick!" thread.

I'm discussing prospects... Not even in context of the Portland Trail Blazers... but in context of the NBA DRAFT.

 

Listen to yourself bro, you’ve just gone off the deep end... you think a major trade is small minded, and a 2nd rd pick is gonna save the day... wow

 

This team couldn’t even win one game against the freakin Pelicans without Cousins... and you think a 2nd rd pick is gonna come in a save the day??? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah!

 

Guys, we just need to draft Chandler Hutchinson and we are going straight to the finals... 20+ GMs in the NBA are wrong about this guy... BonesJones know a superstar when he sees one...

 

Small-minded in terms that, we struggle against the Pelicans, and you just sit here saying "Blow it up and trade everyone!". What type of thinking does that take? That's a small-minded take.

When did I say a 2nd round pick is going to save the day? Now you're just making stuff up to try to make yourself sound better in your own mind...

 

I've stated that we need to get better role players, change the coach and/or our style of play, etc. I've suggested many improvements we could make, and because there's a couple 2nd round picks that I think could help us down the road as a 7th/8th man, you're freaking out and somehow I think they'll "save the day"?

Face. Palm.

Cmon man.

 

Lmao. Making stuff up that makes no sense and no one ever said because you can't even argue your own points well.

 

Nikola Jokic... Marc Gasol... Manu Ginobli... Tony Parker... Draymond Green... Jimmy Butler... Khris Middleton...

 

Not just because we lost to Pelicans... because the Pelicans man handled the Blazers... it wasn’t even close... Also, I watch every single game... besides the 13 game streak this team was super frustrating... struggling against shitty teams or teams with major starters out... they had basically a .500 record outside of the streak... and went 5-7 after the streak when trying to secure position. The worst part is there are no excuses... one of the healthiest teams in the league this year and had a full training camp together... Still finished DEAD LAST in assist and fast break points because of McLillard ISO ball

 

Dillon Brooks even... I mean damn, he’d be a rotation player for us.
