    This has got to be a joke.

    I seriously hope we're trading for a vet or something.

    Otherwise, no team is going to take Portland seriously in the draft ever again. It's just karma.

    So what I'm seeing is basically Miller for Felton and other names involved, none of which will make an impact in this league.

    I'm a Miller fan, but Miller and throw ins for Felton is not as bad as this board is making it out to be. I doubt the Blazers are done with their roster for '11-'12.

    I know many were hoping the Blazers would greatly improve through the draft . . . but not in this draft and not with the 21st pick.

    I guess this is what happens when you don't have a real GM

    Hopefully we got Felton to facilitate a trade for a real PG.

    Even if Harris, Rondo or even Paul aren't truly available, I'd rather take Stuckey or Aaron Brooks any day.

    Johnson was a 2nd-round pick.

    The failure was trading Bayless for a pick.

    Well, the pick did help get Wallace.

    The national media is gonna rip us apart. I see a few draft grades being an F in our future. UGH!

    Well, would you rather have Nolan Smith next year, or Jerryd Bayless last year and for the future?

    That's what it boils down to at this point. I'd take Bayless 10 times out of 10.

    Part of this is Cho's fault for not trading Rudy earlier before his value really plummeted

    Nolan Smith is a damn good defender. But a huge reach!

    So is it official we get Jordan Hamilton?

    Yes I love a point guard who can't see the floor! he's awesome!! Smith is a way better overall player. BAYLESS IS A SHOW BOATING FRAUD WITH A 0 BBALL IQ

    Some teams sell their draft pick when they don't really have a player to draft who will help. Blazer used their draft pick in a package for Felton . . . they weren't going to get anyone they could use in this draft and could have tried to sell it. Instead Blazers package it and take on more salary.

    I like that move (packaging the draft pick to get a vet) than last year's move of packaging players and picks to move up the draft. I bet this one works out better than last year's move.

    Firing Cho was a huge mistake, and this just proves it.
