    Monk reminds me of Barton.

    Yeh, I'm OK with it. Seems like he is the guy we wanted and the price was fair.

    I know it said 2012... but I was wondering why he said that in October.

    He's a really skilled kid...watched a bunch of Gonzaga games....smart...good touch, good looking shot...he didn't start or play big minutes for the Zags so he must have impressed the hell out of Neil

    Okay, okay - I'm liking this. Even if he plays behind Vonleh, he still fills a need...and perhaps he becomes a starter eventually. Goodbye Aminu - you aren't needed or wanted!

    I don't get it either. Collins makes his threes, Myers doesn't.

    Utah trades for 13 and picks Donovan Mitchell.

    I just don't feel good about the direction of the Blazers. It feels endless. No moves made just trying to rely on younger talent. As of now it looks like more of Dame, CJ, and Nurk trying to carry. The fucking wolves are better than us right now I would say. July 1st, Neil better do something man

    God I hope OG is available there at 26. If not then Ferguson.

    OG and Collins would be perfection.

    My #1 wish in this draft was Isaac. Given we couldn't get him ZCollins was #2. Nobody we picked at 15 or 20 was going to start next year. All the draft pick equivalency calculators I saw said that 15+20 wouldn't get you more than 10. I think we got lucky. If the Laimbeer comparison is accurate then I will be very happy.

    We got a guy who could start at PF and can also backup center.

    People still hoping for a big name trade to Portland.

    Stop. It's not happening.

    Trey Lyles was a lotto pick two years ago. Utah gave two firsts just to grab Mitchell.
