    Y'all kill me. You guys act like I was shocked about this (I presume it's cuz I called him an SOB). Not surprised at all. I mean, I do believe in a little thing called honesty (I'm certain a few people on this board don't know what the word is - look it up), but I'm not shocked by this. Just was trying to post something I found on the web.

    Sounds like he needed to purge some inner guilt. Is what it is. The Blazers GM did a piss poor job in that draft. He wanted Hakeem, but after losing the coin flip, he settled on an oft injured center out of need. That's on Inman, and his staff. Bobby Knight told him to draft Jordan. He didn't listen. I was in the Air Force when it all went down, so i have no idea if , or not, Blazer fans were mad at that pick. Seems to me there was truly a lack of info for the everyday fan back then. We just stood in line and accepted whatever the team did. GM's today have it way worse than back in the day with the advent of Social Media.

    Man I hope that in 30 years we don't hear that Shaedon said the Blazers hit his shoulder with a small mallet and asked him if it hurt and he said no, even tho it did.

    The Oden pick , to me, is even more shameful on the staff. As a fan, i just saw a center that looked like the real deal. But after the Bowie situation, the team should have went over Oden with a fine tooth comb. They didn't, and our team was burnt again. I sure as heck hope Sharpe isn't strike three. They should have examined him more than Barney & Betty got examined by them there Aliens.

    Being a fan of a team that passed on Jordan, Bird, McAdoo, Dr. J, CP3 and Durant does have its challenges.

    When did we play Walton through the playoffs on a broken ankle? I don't remember that at all. I've read they didn't treat his injury appropriately, but not that.

    I believe the 78 playoffs is when Bill was just filled with pain killers by the team doctor or something.

    Oden was the clear consensus #1 pick, and ranked #1 for years before the draft. Taking Durant would've been compared to taking Keith Van Horn over Duncan. Basically every team except Orlando (who had a young Dwight Howard) would have taken Oden.

    It obviously didn't work out. But taking Oden is nothing like taking the lesser ranked Bowie over player of the year college champion Jordan.

    We're letting it bake, and thanks to the Clippers trade we forever have "flexibility" so all is good!

    And don't forget drafting Moses Malone in the ABA dispersal draft and then trading him before the season!
