    How was Roy/LMA a bad draft again?

    Partially but the part with Tom Penn and the Minnesota offer is what really upset Paul from what someone told me years back.

    I was also told Paul preferred Durant but that everyone else wanted Oden. Since he liked Oden as well, they went with that but if it was just him being forced to choose, I think we would have had Durant here.

    steve Patterson claimed he was the engineer as president and acting gm of both of those trades not Pritchard who was player personnel director at the time of the draft
    edit I see eblazer already covered this

    I vividly remember Screaming A-hole Smith going off on how he doesn't understand 'what the Blazers are doing'. Of course if the talking heads speak, it is so...

    I don't think that was the reason.

    Roy's knees disintegrated into dust after five years. LaMarcus had literal and metaphorical heart troubles. On the whole, that's a bad draft.

    We drafted 2 all-NBA players... it was the opposite of bad.

    Blazers got way better (33 win improvement in 3 years time) and came away with probably the two best players in that draft. On the whole, that was a great draft. Sucks about Roy's knees, but the dude was a stud.

    Roy was fool's gold, good only in that he set up the situation we are in now. Yay we got some fun memories with him, but we never got out of the first round and we lost him after five seasons... in retrospect it was a bad choice.

    KP's draft plan was to take guys with injury flags a little lower than they would have gone because the upside was amazing.

    I remember hearing scuttlebutt that it was the Roy contract negotiation that soured PA on KP, anyone remember something like this?

    I think he goes hard after Lowry. If he doesn't have a shot, PG needs to be traded asap.

    It's a shame FA happens after the draft.
