    There are 4 teams behind us. There are 14 teams in the lottery. Is my math correct? If 11, 12, and 13 win the lotto, we're the 13th pick.

    Yeah, I was wrong. You're right. If three teams behind PDX jump Portland, then the Blazers would be at 13.

    The odds of that are almost impossible, but technically, I think you're right!

    Well, three teams behind us would have to make it into the top three.... I'm not a math genius but I think the odds of that happening are fairly slim.

    So pass on the consensus #1 pick?

    Just because Oden and Bowie were injury prone (among others) does not mean Noel will be injury prone and have a shitty career.

    He tore his acl, lots of people do.

    At what point do you learn from history and stop repeating the same mistakes?

    You're right. Let's just pass on every consesus #1 big man because of shit that happened in the past.

    I wonder what the odds are of three of those four teams winning the lottery. Anyone?

    It's not like he's 100% healthy. We're talking about a rail thin big guy who is just coming off a major knee surgery. Don't act like there aren't things to be concerned about.

    He has a torn acl. Players have those all the time nowadays and come back good as new. If the team checks him out and everything looks A-OK, it would be stupid to pass on him because of bad luck in the past.

    And not draft four-year college players, right Ed O? ;)

    The point is, trends tell us absolutely nothing about a given individual.

    Roy is no longer a Wolf. Last time, he got us Oden. Why don't we send him?

    Send the sure thing instead of risking the new guy.

    There's less than .1% chance of us not getting a pick this year. Too bad we likely won't have one next year when the draft is strong.

    Since we will win the #1 pick; who will we pick?

    Perhaps. Olshey could always move this pick for future ones

    Trade down if we win it. Possibly make a package trade (#1 pick and players) for a great big man (enter your own possibilities here) and a mid-first round draft pick (go after Dieng - a defensive center).

    I've got little interest in the draft this year, for actually adding a player. I want us to tin, or get in the top 3 to improve the quality of player that pick can bring back more than anything.
