    Okay, just because I'm bored...

    Let's say that the Blazers could pick ONLY ONE player from the combined rosters of the four remaining teams in the playoffs. Each team can choose it's top two players to make safe from being selected. Let's say Cleveland goes with James and Kyrie, Toronto saves DeRozan and Lowry, the Thunder make Durant and Westbrook off-limits, and the Warriors go with Curry and Green. So, of the players available to "draft", which one guy do you think would help the Blazers the most?

    Yeah, that's the obvious choice, but do you think he would help the Blazers the most?

    Whoops my bad. I saw pick one player then thought about the nut punch squad and didn't read anymore. My bad FAMS, nothing to see here.

    Oh, I thought you said one from each team.

    I think Love would help us the most

    Ibaka can hit jumpers and actually play defense.

    It's between Thompson and Love. I think, today, I'd go with Love.

    Thompson or Adams. Not sure which Thompson is a better player, but Adams is a bigger need for us.

    Yeah, I think he might be a good fit here, too, but last night's underwhelming performance kind of scares me off.

    I want to hear him sing first, make sure he's not a soprano now.
