    Something tells me we're not targeting a college player this time around. If we move into the lottery, it will only be to trade that pick to someone else as part of a deal for a veteran player.

    Or not. I could be all wet. What do I know? :ghoti:

    I can't wait kick back with some brews and watch the fireworks blast off today/tonight. Is it 4 yet?

    And so the chess game begins. I now have a feeling KP has targeted Lawson. Today, ESPN mentioned the Knicks could take him at #8 over Flynn.

    Does the draft start right at 4, or is that when ESPN's coverage starts? I don't get out of work till 4:30 so I wont be home till 4:45. But I was thinking the first pick probably wouldn't happen till 4:30. Anyone know for sure?

    That's pretty cool that Kidd is actually 'considering' us, if true. There was one point I remember where he absolutely didn't want to come here if we traded for him, or it may have been someone else.

    But I'd be on the Kidd bandwagon for a few seasons I think..

    Maybe he can teach the rest of the Blazers on how to beat their wives and get away with it. :)

    I am kind of hoping Jordan Hill is the high lotto target

    Rubio seem like it's not a possibility.

    My choices, in order:

    1) Johnny Flynn
    2) Stephen Curry
    3) James Harden
    4) Jordan Hill

    Well you know it is a weak draft when a top 5 guy like Jordan Hill is called an "Unpolished version of Channing Frye".....

    yea you go right ahead and go get him..... Good luck with that.

    He is nothing like Frye..guy is a monster on the glass, very athletic, and still has some potential left in his game

    I checked ESPN times last night before I went to bed (so I could record it). It lists the Pre-draft at 4:00 and the draft starting at 4:30. Hope this helps.

    I never fine people for lack of humor. I do disparage them, however.

    Well if you got past your lack of a sense of humor maybe you would realize I am saying a reason I don't want him here.

    I think there's a good chance we don't hear anything today. A trade might not go down until after the draft. I'm convinced we're not keeping our 1st round pick though.

    Repetitively. With smiley faces. Hilarious.
