    Ok, 2 things, one I love how he is getting name out there and getting rep and respect and two I hope he brings us luck for the right pick and not necessarily the top pick.

    I'm guessing if they do luck into the lottery, Blazers will not take Noel.

    Remember the last time the RotY repped the Blazers at the lottery?

    Even HCP makes an appearance in the video!

    My thoughts exactly!!! please don't take a dangerous pick again.

    Although Roy had bad knees and he drafted a guy with bad knees. lillard is a stud, so maybe he'll bring us another stud! :MARIS61:

    Would it be a trip if we won the number one pick and pick an often injuries center?

    Uhhhh am I missing something? Didnt Noel just tear his acl? I doubt they would use it, bet olshey would trade it. But to not take a defensive center because of a torn acl who seems to be the consensus #1 because of history and superstitions is a terrible idea.

    Oden was always the right pick and all 30 teams would have taken him. They are liars if they say differently today.

    He was the right pick but still often injured. I am talking about awesome luck to terrible all in one year

    I hope we win the right pick whether that is 1 or 11 and regardless of position. I just want him to be lucky.

    For me it is the combination of his injury and the fact that he is smaller than Aldridge and completely raw offensively. If Noel is the BPA, then I hope they would trade down. I'd rather have Len.

    If we get Noel, I would be totally down with trading LA and Wes for younger players and start a full rebuild. With some sort of combo multi-team trade, if we could end up with Boogie and Reke, it could be sick.

    Dame/Reke/Nic/Boogie/Noel has the potential to become a contender in a few years.

    You'd be guessing wrong, they will take Noel, and he will get injured again!

    Or they may actually trade the pick.

    I'm starting to think lucky might mean getting the 2nd or 3rd pick that takes off the pressure of making the right pick and instead having to settle for the "good" pick.

    I don't care if Noel is the best big man since Bill Russell, if we get the #1 we cannot take him. No. Can't happen. Although it's not like there's a Kevin Durant in this draft.

    We could technically STILL lose our pick to Charlotte, right?

    It's Top 12 protected, and only two teams behind the Blazers in the lottery could move ahead. Blazers are at 10. Worst they can get is 12, so the pick stays with PDX. Can 3 teams move into the Top 3? I thought only two could, but maybe not?
