    One thing he said was that the only time he's ever been part of a group that gave draft promise was back in 2005 (because Mike Dunleavey feel in love with some Russian prospect), and it was a horrible blunder, so he'll never do that.

    You guys know how I feel about NO, but that site sucks. It’s drenched with hyperbole and completely one sided crap. I feel like if you wanted a case to fire NO one could do much better without the extra stuff, and come off a lot more level headed. You see the issue with this type of thing is when you start coming off as emotional and you’re only willing to tell one side of the story you lose credibility.

    If someone wanted to fire me from my job and this was the type of crap they spewed I’d really hope my boss wouldn’t take it seriously.

    Likened the situation with this year's pick to the yearsago when he dealt for Plumlee.

    Apparently, Neil thinks Zach Collins is at the same level as Deandre Ayton or Marvin Bagley...

    FWIW, Zach Lowe and Bill Simmons both said on his podcast today that if they had to guess CJ wouldn’t be on the blazers next year. Threw out trades like Miles Turner for CJ and Fultz, #10, and/or Saric for CJ.

    Zach Lowe in particular said he thinks we will see some big trades this summer because there is so many teams deep into the cap unhappy with their rosters so making trades is really their only way of making significant change.

    Seconds later Lowe says that Portland sees Collins as a really good stretch 5. Which is what I have been saying for months, although I know this board thinks he’s a 4 all day long.

    Also makes Nurkic situation this summer even more interesting, even though I don’t think you punt on Nurk even if you plan on Collins being the future at 5.

    Miles Turner is an overrated talent. He regressed this year, badly. Saric is interesting though, but you already have Zach Collins(NOT A CENTER), to be the future PF.

    If we could get Fultz + 10 + Saric from Philly, we'd be fools not to take it.

    I'd love to see CJ in Philly too since we'd only face him twice a year until the finals.

    They start talking Blazers around the 50 min mark.

    The question was asked if he had stayed another year in college and was in this year's draft. I'd argue he would have gone much higher than ten too.

    Anyone get a chance to listen to CJ on the Woj podcast today? Can anyone summarize what was said?

    He said that Olshey told him that he wasn't going to trade him just to piss of @Gronk Brady.
