Your worst scouting fail

I'll remember that when I'm on survivor

 

I've never had a fail. I've always wanted the best player in every draft.

 

Should have listened to Mediocre Man

 

not as a player but I wanted to keep Kaleb Canales on as coach....that would have been a fail...he was a real believer in Nolan Smith and Luke Babbitt...his hard hat guys...

 

I was on the ESPN boards then lol

 

When he's right, he is really right.

 

I thought Frylor was just a drunk with a twisted sense of humor.

 

I thought Chris Paul was an overhyped cheating crybaby who would never win a title...

I may wind up being right on that last part, but he's gotta be one of the best point guards of all time.

 

I wanted Russell Westbrick. He turned out to be an asshole. #myscoutingfail

 

Man, where is ProudBFan when we need him. He was a great guy (I worked with him back in the ESPN forum days starting in 2002) and a true Blazers fan, but he sure had a way of falling for the improbable coming-out-of-nowhere 7'+ international player. First it was our own Nedzad Sinanovic, then Ivan Chiriaev and Pavel Podkolzine and then Martynus Andriuskevicius, and probably a few more I have forgotten. That was back when were were perpetually in the lottery and every year he was convinced grabbing one of these previously unknown giants was the key to future dominance.

Haha Ivan Chiriev.

That guy was such hype for awhile. Mainly self induced by his agent and handlers. But he was so garbage. He was a legit 7 footer who thought his calling in the NBA was at the point guard spot.

I can't believe I completely forgot about that guy.

 

I remember him being all over P-Pod. But, he wasn't alone...... Ahhhh, the old ESPN board. I actually won the first prize from Gramps game. And one year I won @crandc 's western conference final standings thing. She sent me some delicious brownies. Good times.

 

I was on that board for years too. Until I found out about BBF. I think I remember Maris there as well. There was also this one notorious Laker troll.

ProudBFan got a divorce or something and never came back. That was years ago.

 

Yeah, maris and jlprk were both there. I remember the Laker troll, but the name is escaping me.

 

Yeah, by the time the divorce started we were no longer working together, but it sounded like it was pretty rough. I have no idea if he even lives around here anymore. I should see if he's on Facebook or Linkedin. Really good dude.

I was there too, as TraderBoob.

I remember when Whitsitt got fired. You emerged from your cocoon and became the man you are now.

I went by bigrugo2525 back in those olden days.
