    Boo! That blows. No to JS! Barnes needs to leap up in there to make the others drop!

    Ooh. A 6'9" Center? Yay. It seems they have us picking for "need". Boo. And Jared Cunningham? I saw him play quite a bit, in person, and not once did I ever think I was watching a future NBA player.

    I'm OK with Terrence Jones, but did whoever did that mock have Portland take him and Cunningham because of Oregon ties? That's no way to run a draft.

    Rather have us take one of the PGs instead of Sullinger.

    According to Tokito......... we have a 41.3% chance of getting the 6th pick.........BUT, last year, with exact same odds at No. 6, Utah ended up with the No. 3 pick. Jazz got that pick as part of DWill trade from ... Nets.

    I never got this way of thinking. Wallace said multiple times that he was going to opt out if he was healthy at the end of the year. He wanted one more long term contract. He is one of the top FA and the top FA at SF this year.

    ??? At the beginning of the year, he was quoted numerous times saying he had yet to make a decision.

    He also wants to have a contract before the Olympics.

    I think this quote is actually in our favor:

    That sure sounds like Portland to me.

    Green font?

    It's been en entire year without a real GM and the roster moves have been atrocious outside of Hickson.

    Heading in the right direction would mean to fire Larry Miller and Chad Buchanan and bring in real NBA management.

    Yes. Not him. I am a firm believer Williams is a pipe dream, but may as well go for it because othrr PG's would probably like that coach as well

    We have flexibility, which he mentioned. We have a young All-Star big man in Aldridge. We have two lotto picks. Sounds an awful lot like what he was talking about.

    That's the scary part. It's been mentioned by many in the media that this is currently a rudderless organization and they could very well screw up these high draft picks.

    Who in the Media has been saying this? Besides Blazers edge and Dwight Jaynes I haven't really heard that we could very well screw up the draft picks. The Rudderless part has been thrown around a lot but mostly stems from the fact we don't have a GM.

    I'm good with Beal, but Jones doesn't thrill me. Maybe we could package our second pick with Matthews and move up.
