    Surely, there's plenty of blame to be spread down to them, right? What have been their claims to fame in the draft? Meaning, I'm not sure how much influence KP and/or Cho had in the ultimate selections. :stirthepot:

    As long as they don't make eye contact when they mumble "Whatever you say, Bert and Hat Guy", they should be fine. If they get any bright ideas that they have some pull, they won't be long for Portland.

    I don't think their drafts have been particularly successful.....of course, depending how much final input they've had in the affairs.

    You do realize that you're the kiss of death to any GM, right?

    Please, for all of us, no more Meet and Greets. :)

    how would we know? Management keeps everyone in the dark and speculating as to their internal workings. While I'd like to understand whats what, we absolutely know what Canzano and the muckrakers do with any crumb of info they stumble across... they connect the dots to their hysteria theories. As a fan I like that they're doing the smart thing not airing dirty laundry

    Keep on stirring, but know thats the reason we get so few actual morsels

    So I've heard. Cho did call and asked if I had set up the KP event, as well.

    Buchanan & Born do not have a very good draft record IMO....

    lol

    Regarding the Blazers?

    Not recently, Wallace trade was good....Aldridge improving his play was good....Matthews impact on the team was good, other than that, yeah pretty much a bowl full of suck...

    I tend to agree with that notion.

    Based on that draft, in the grand scheme of things they should stand in the unemployment line.

    Like I said in another thread, their future will be be determined by the end of next season. Between Babbitt, Williams, and Smith..........they better hope to hell one of the three pans out. Assuming we have a season, they should all get their chance this year.

    Whoever was in charge of this draft should be fired immediately.
