    No. It blew it up the once, died, and now he can’t return calls. That’s why it’s so quiet.

    We need some length, I'd take Gueye at 43 if he is still there.

    Like the breakdown a lot. Yeah, for me I've logged that hard-nosed but high-tail athletic gym rat types can get a lot better at "skills" with work (aside: why I'm really high on Scoot's eventual 3pt shot). Similar to how OKC drafts high-IQ players with movement motors, I think high-motor defensive gym rats can get a corner 3 or free throw shot. And yes, I would've likely taken Miller or OMP before Murray, but who knows how "safe" and "ready" POR wanted to be?

    Leonard Miller hasn't been drafted yet so if we still want him...

    When do we hear that the Blazers tried to make a trade and just couldn’t get anything done?

    The basketball Gods definitely answered our prayers. We got Scoot and one of the twins.

    Where there any trades in the first round? Kind of surprised we didn't see any movement anywhere.

    If Portland comes out of this with Oscar Tshiebwe or Leonard Miller in round 2, and keeps their picks, this should be considered a good draft

    Posted at the same time.

    So we have until end of free agency. I'm not sure what we can possibly do. Ant for DDR and our pick back? At least DDR can play SF full time.
