    He's looking pretty good so far tonight.

    Have any of you heard about this Flagg kid on Duke? He's young but kinda good. Maybe someone to get with our 2nd round draft pick.

    Apparently we just traded Deni for one.

    Hopefully we got back Drew Eubanks too. I want to buy his jersey.

    Is there anyone you have targeted -- other than Flagg -- if the Blazers were to somehow acquire a second-round pick in this draft?

    The player that would interest me is Kam Jones, the combo guard from Marquette. Older prospect but I think he'd be the ideal reserve PG if the Blazers move on from Ant in the offseason.

    Can one of your gee……. Errrrrr……. Forum members find pre-draft analysis of our guys we have currently ? Wonder what they said about Camara.
    The reason I asked is I’m sure you have plenty of free time since you’re just waiting around in your basement for the new Minecraft release and your case of Cheetos to be delivered.

    Hey you can't assume that other people spend their free time the same way you do. BAM?

    So... who wants to bet Cooper Flagg stays at Duke now? 5 points in the second half, and a missed shot at the buzzer has to leave a bad taste...

    NO WAY! Player of the year….. If scouts are using how a player does in ONE game as opposed to the whole season or career…… He is good as gone.

    Isn't that up to him? Besides, don't forget he can earn millions in college. (I was wrong about the 5 points, though, so it wasn't as bad as all that.)

    I think we should be able to get one, but will we even have room on the roster. Need to make a trade and get rid of somebody. we can release Murray hopefully. How about trying to get a medical retirement on Williams?
    In the 2025 NBA Draft, the Brooklyn Nets have a significant number of picks, along with the Oklahoma City Thunder and Utah Jazz.
    Here's a breakdown:
    • Brooklyn Nets: They are expected to have 4 first-round picks in 2025.
    • Oklahoma City Thunder: They are expected to have 3 second-round picks in 2025.
    • Utah Jazz: They are expected to have 3 second-round picks in 2025.

    I don't think AI got this right, most are first round picks. but then they still might be willing to trade their sole second round pick.

    Going through all myself: 7 teams have 2 second round picks, and IND has 3.

    Depends on who wins the lotto.

    If he stays in the draft, he'll never have the chance for an NCAA title again.

    That would be enough motivation for me if it were a choice of staying in college or going to the Jazz....

    I didn't word it very well, but is there a player that should be available in the second round that you'd want to draft?

    I think we'll have some roster openings. We're probably going to trade a couple of guys, and Minaya's been on the team longer than Keljin Blevins.

    I may be in the minority but I don't think this is as deep a draft as some analysts would have you believe. Flagg is a good player(Choking last night not withstanding) but besides him, no legit super star in the making imo. As far as we go though, would love Fears from Oklahoma or Queen from Maryland.

    Just have to keep building in the draft and hope the young guys we have now develop into something better than what they currently are.
