    We haven't had the lottery yet right? This is just to determine ping pong balls, yeah?

    Unless we get in the top 3, we have the 10th pick.

    So what happens if someone behind us ends up in the top 3? Doesn't that push us down one?

    That stupid article is absolutely wrong. The drawing simply eliminated ties. It established the seedings in the lottery, which will determine draft order. To repeat, the draft order will not be known till the lottery. We will be 10th seed at the lottery, and we might draft at 1, 2, 3, 10, 11, 12, or 13.

    Actually, scratch #13. I thought that .000 meant "under .0005 rounded." But now I see that our other probabilities add to 1.001, which must already include rounding error. So our #13 probability is truly zero.

    Hey, that's the 2nd mistake you've made since 1959, you're slipping. Well, not counting the JJ thing.....

    This is the first one I remember since 1959. And what's this about JJ?

    I could have sworn you said you made you're first mistake since 1959 the other day. Perhaps I was mistaken........it happens once a millenium and I made one in 1994.

    The JJ thing was just a jab about mistaking him for a better player than LMA.

    Sporting News has some interesting guys falling to our pick (or close):

    http://www.oregonlive.com/blazers/i...rtland_trail_blazers_select.html#incart_river

    No way do I think the bigs they have going that high will actually go there but I hope so. We could use Oladipo or Shabazz badly.

    It is almost like they did this mock draft 4 months ago and are just now releasing it.

    I think the same player we could pick if we got #3 might be there at #10 if we don't get a top 3 pick.

    Weak draft at the top. Deep in the middle of the 1st. Then week again towards the end.

    This is one of the few drafts were I think a lot of teams will want to trade back not up. Problem is you have to find a partner that will move up.

    What I mean by that is outside of the 1st pick I don't see teams rushing to move up and give you a nice bounty.

    Honestly I don't think we lose much value in a draft night trade for a big man with only having the 10th pick vs the 3rd in this draft.
