Besides cash to offer, I don't think the Blazers were all that well poised to be able to move into what most consider a pretty good draft. When teams' main goal is probably to shed salary (in anticipation of a good free agent class) and/or acquire cheap non-guaranteed or low-pricecs, prospects, it just didn't seem all that well lined up. We've got a few cheap prospects (Crabbe and ...), but I'm not sure they were all that enticing. Olshey is going to have to make his hay in free agency and trades this year and I think it was probably always going to play out that way if he planned to re-arm this roster with enough fire-power to get beyond the second round next season. Tall order regardless. p.s. I'm shit-faced, so all apologies about grammar and other stuffies p.p.s. Occidental Brewing in St. John's makes some excellent German style brews and you should drink them.
