    I remember last year some had a problem with keeping everything in the same thread, so I thought that it'd be worthwhile talking about it before hand. What does everyone want? One big thread with all draft talk in it? One thread for each draft pick the Blazers have?

    Personally, I liked the way it went last year, merging everything into one big thread. I don't want to have to open 10 different tabs to keep track on the different discussion, especially when people create 5 different threads on the same subject.

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    My thought is to keep all general draft chatter to one thread, but have separate threads dedicated to each draft pick or trade Portland makes. No point being too draconian about minimizing threads, but nice to have a little bit of order.

    That seems like a reasonable approach. We are all interested in the Blazers' picks, but not everyone has the same level of interest in the rest of the draft. No need to try to shoehorn the 2 subjects together.

    I agree with Minstrel. We don't want a crazy amount of threads, but limiting it to one thread would be hell to sift through if you're not following along the whole time.

    NBA General is in the lead by 6689 posts as I type this. Wonder what the lead will be by the end of the day tomorrow?
