    So WAS can spend 90M a year over the next 4 for RW and Wall? Yikes.

    ....well, when you put it like that.....

    Yeah, we suck at drafting. Not sure what I was thinking. Fuck Olshey and his John Gotti haircut.

    Well now I have to argue the other side :lol:

    When it comes to drafting, PDX has been better then most. Michael Kidd Gilchrist, Dion Waiters & Thomas Robinson were selected ahead of Lillard in the 2012 draft. While Golden State struck gold with Draymond, they'd already passed on him twice in selecting Harrison Barnes and Festus Ezeli. In 2013 Portland used the 10th pick to select CJ passing on All NBA Bigs Giannis & Gobert, but Anthony Bennett went #1 overall. The only guy drafted in front of CJ who is even arguably a better talent is Otto Porter. And while it might be a little early to be passing judgement on players from the 2017 draft that brought the Blazers Zach Collins at #10, if they redid it today I doubt he'd slide past #5.

    They've been more hit then miss, but the point is that the potential for putting together a truly great team via the draft has been there.

    Isn't there a story between PG13 and the Rivers family or is it the Curry family? Some story related to him dating Doc's daughter ... maybe?

    I would trade Russ for John Wall ... straight up.
    But, I can see Pat Riley figuring out ways to get Russ. If Jerry West can do it, why can't Pat?

    No way Collins goes at 5. He probably stays at 10. Maybe anywhere from 9 to 12.

    Kuzma, john collins, de'aaron fox, jayson tatum, donovon mitchell off the top of my head easily get drafted before him.

    I think Leonard demanded the Clippers make it happen or he wouldn't sign with them... OKC wasn't going anywhere so why would they turn down that deal?

    Then just say they got an offer they couldn't refuse, not that PG wanted out.

    Shit, If LAC had offered half the amount of picks with Gallo and SGA for CJ, I’d have done it.

    I know, I’m just saying if a team wanted CJ at a package similar with less picks even id consider it. SGA is a stud.

    He would have had to sign here for the minimum, but I guess it could have happened if he really wanted to.

    if you banned yourself and you decided to defy the ban, would you really get mad and escalate the punishment? That could get ugly
