    Im guessing Amiricon falls asleep to that vid every night. Salaun might be his nephew.

    that's the spirit !! A helpful tool for this Blazers rebuild. Pass out during games, then talk about draft picks.

    It's divided into segments for reach of the prospects. Only the first portion is dedicated to Salaun.

    They need years to develop.

    Two sprained knees?

    I'm not really interested in drafting him, but a couple of knee sprains is hardly a Brandon Roy-esque knee history.

    This whole Castle thing makes me wonder if he MIGHT have a promise and trying to make teams that might take him cross him off the board. The reason I think this is even if Castle wants to play the point I have a hard time thinking any agent worth a damn would allow his client to poison the waters UNLESS it was part of a plan ( say a promise ). If I am right and prolly not BUT let's assume I am who could this promise be coming from ?

    Hawks -- Out
    Wiz - They need a PG but at 2 is that too high for him -- maybe they trade back a few spots and get more assets since they are rebuilding hardcore -- then this might make sense to scare off teams so they could get him.
    Rockets -- Do not need him and they are a more realistic trade out spot but again who would trade up for Castle when it might be cheaper to trade with teams under this spot to get Castle.
    Spurs -- This is a spot that I think he could flourish with Wemby and this PG thing might be to scare off Wiz and and Rockets -- but what if he slides past this spot ....
    Pistons -- We have no idea what the Pistons are doing and not even sure they do BUT Cade looks to be the future for the Pistons so unless they decide Cade is not the answer ( not likely ) -- NOPE
    Hornets -- They gave Ball a big contract then he got injured -- sounds like the Bulls with the other Ball but chances are they are not a spot for him.
    Blazers -- You would think that Cronin would NOT do this but you could pair him with Scoot and have a dynamic Duo BUT for this to happen -- Ant would have to be traded ASAP -- not likely but I think could be intriguing and with the team rebuilding Cronin might decide the risk is worth it. -- BUT i still think unlikely

    Now the next spot is where I think he is trying to be taken -- SPURS -- this way the Spurs get two great players and a PG to feed Wemby and for him to get to this spot I think you would need to scare off some teams so this is where he is targeting with the comments.

    FFS. He's trying to manuever himself to the Spurs or a higher draft spot with Washington?

    You're like the kid who can't get the new Playstation, so you keep going around trying to kill everyone's enthusiasm about it.

    Why are you so invested in trying to convince us? Truly strange behavior for an adult.

    Console gaming sucks. Only good console was the original Xbox after the source code was leaked and you could hack it to do whatever you wanted.

    Actually, the PS3 was good when you could install Linux on it (this was intended on release). But then Sony removed the capability via patch and it was garbage again.

    I hear you can get Linux running with exploits on later versions though... But I was going to go all in with PlayStation when it seemed like they were going to support it.

    Too bad.

    The Xbox controller is the worst controller ever made and single handedly made the Xbox unplayable. Playstation is so far superior there should be no conversation.

    I think the PS4 is one of the greatest consoles. So many great titles. I've been on consoles all my life. Nintendo 64 was also awesome. The one thing I miss was the multiplayer stuff I really got into with the Halo series on XBOX 360. I came in at Halo 3 and Reach. So many great times with friends. After that a new studio took Halo over and turned it to absolute shit.

    It's broken down into segments. Only the first segment is about Salaun.

    When you hacked it you could use any controller. But yes, I agree with you. PlayStation controller is way better.
