    I actually think this is pretty big news?

    He should be ineligable to draft, so Portland should be able to get some sort of compensation from someone? Another pick? Cash? Something?

    Why would he be ineligible to draft? I don't get it.

    He lied about his age and is really 27. That makes him draft ineligible.

    A future second rounder that we then send to Denver wouldn't be bad so we can keep ours for next year. I'm never as excited about the second round as I am the first round(who is?) but second rounders can become decent role players.

    Re: What's Up with Tanguy?

    But why? Can you not draft 27 year-olds? Or is there a rule that says if you tell a lie you can't be drafted?

    No because he lied about his age

    Re: What's Up with Tanguy?

    Ok. It's not clear to me that makes him ineligible, but maybe it does. Are you saying that even if the blazers really wanted to keep his 27-year-old butt, the league would not allow it?

    I think we should send hairpiece on the road to find this guy's birth certificate.

    Who is it we are talking about, again?

    Does no one recognize Steve Rosenberry? Seriously, this guy is our Assistant GM. The dude is George Hamilton on steroids.

    Re: mboko ubunda

    Are you talking about Biyombo? I posted yesterday that I think he's closer to 23 than to 18.

    Him being 25+ wouldn't surprise me, though.

    Re: mboko ubunda

    If true, then he's automatically a free agent because he's been draft eligible since age 22 ... and we hold no rights over him whatsoever.

    Re: mboko ubunda

    Who are we talking about here?

    Reports today are saying Biyombo is 26 years-old. Is this about the 2nd-round guy that will never play in the NBA?

    Re: mboko ubunda

    I'm talking about the 57th pick guy from Dallas, Ngombo (sic?). Biyombo apparently has X-rays which "prove" that his long bones haven't fused together completely ... meaning he's closer to 18-19 than 26.
