    I can only imagine the conversation an owner will have with their GM in two-three years if Dion Waiters ends up being a bust...

    This is why Presti annoys me. Things have come so easily to him that he expects people to just hand him shit.

    Yeah I am really wondering what is going on there, on one hand I don't think it is a smokescreen...but on the other, Olshey talks about not saying anything about how the workouts went...he says it repeatedly and then on the Blazers official website they practically gush about the kid, I mean it seemed over the top and then Jaynes reporting that 2? blazer officials said it was a great workout\best since Durant etc, which then is spread to the interview session the night before the draft etc...

    Maybe Jaynes got his info from Mike Rice and such, maybe POR really does like Lillard and is peeved that this got out and now other teams are looking hard at Lillard....but irregardless of all that, I do find it interesting how over the top the Blazers own website went in regards to Lillard....

    Pretty elaborate smokescreen to me, seems unlikely, but if so kudos to Olshey b\c it seems to have worked...

    Yeah, I have to believe that this will be a major topic of discussion regarding him....

    If he was some kind of long-armed athletic freak with a superb attitude and intangibles, I could maybe understand. But of course he's not...

    Yeah but what is Givony going to say if Waiters ends up being an All Star caliber player? Nothing...

    He isn't a scout, remember that, not so much different than anyone in here....

    Jonathon Givony is as close as you're going to get to being a scout without the actual title, this guy is on all year round.

    Royce White with a Frank Sinatra tat...

    He's an odd fellow.

    This is sorta like saying Storyteller doesn't know any more than anyone in here about the salary cap because he is not employed by an NBA team, don't you think?

    I think any of those hopes for Royce died when Crawford opted out.
