    We've been one pick late for Seraphin and Whiteside, if that's who we actually were targeting.

    Damn you Petrie! You just drafted Cousins, why did you need to take Whiteside too?

    Guess that means we're not keeping Patty Mills?

    Right ... but better yet it means there has to be a deal in the works for a high quality point guard ... Johnson is never going to be a starter, but he'll be a solid backup in a few years.

    anyone know why we'd pick two non-shooting PGs who can't go right?

    They're both

    -- longer than Bayless
    -- older
    -- left-handed

    I really dunno. It was like the Blazers picking a pair of four year big guys last year with both of our second rounders.

    Williams can shoot it a little bit, but the real reason is that it means there's got to be a deal in the works for a high level point (or we're fucking retarded with no one at the helm).

    did KP really think that Armon was worth 2M to make sure he wouldn't be there at 44?

    Terrico White's little bro went to Naval Academy and played slotback.

    Blazers are planning to host a point guards gladiator arena in mid July to determine the best two point guards on the team.

    Bayless, Miller, Johnson, Williams, and Mills are all participating. It wouldn't have been as exciting without more points, so they had to draft a couple.

    That's still 3 on two. I think the only thing we can really deduce from this is the imminent return of Sergio Rodriguez, Jarret Jack, Steve Blake, Bassy and Damon Stoudamire to make it a 5 on 5 game.

    You don't understand. It's a free for all melee.

    Remember what Nate has been saying, our players need to be scrappy. What better way to prove it then winning an all out brawl?

    You are so stuck in 2009. After the Blazers scored when playing 6 on 5 against the Celtics (thanks to Nate's genius strategy) - the NBA no longer allows the "free for all".

    I've been gone for an hour. We traded this pick?
