Blazers

Blazers hired the clippers gm

Now that they have a somewhat competent GM, get someone in here who can coach.

Dude traded the Baron Davis and his 1st rounder (which turned out to be #1 overall Kyrie Irving) for Mo WIlliams last year. If Stern doesn't screw the Lakers by denying the Chris Paul trade, then this dude is a dud. I will keep an open mind though.

He saved donald sterling over 12 million and the pick had a 2.5% chance at becoming first. Cavs were just lucky and it in turn made the Clippers look bad. There was also some obscure rule which prohibited the Clippers from adding protection but Sterling demanded they go ahead with it anyways. Clippers were slated to pick somehwere between 8-10(knight, kemba, jimmer) so it's not that bad of a deal, basically cavs just got lucky

Pritchard promoted to Pacers GM, replaces Morway.

I really liked Pritchard when he was here like most I'm sure. From Ric Bucher on espn: Here's a breakdown of which ones are believed to have the most remaining value:

Steve Nash, PG, 38 years old: The top suitors are expected to be the Phoenix Suns, Portland Trail Blazers and Toronto Raptors (in his native Canada)

I would love for the blazers to get him for three years that he wants, I know some think he's too old, but he led the league in assists until Rondo passed him the final couple weeks. Him and Lebron are my two favorite players to watch, Dirk and Durant right behind them.

As old as he is Nash still gets it done and is fun to watch, but I would hope the Blazers offer him a 2 year deal.

But will he want to be on a team that is rebuilding? My guess is no.

If those three are the top suitors there's not any one team that is a contender. The blazers got about the same amount of talent as Phoneix

And vice versa, if Portland IS rebuilding, no point at all in signing Nash.

I like Brian Shaw. Hopefully they make a run at him.

I'm willing to give him a shot since I think he'll make a good coach for a team that he's able to mold into his vision.

[Zyme]

If PA gives him the room to make his image, it should turn out ok.

Now find us a coach.

Damian Lillard at #6
Meyers Leonard at #11

I would like that.

[lukeyrid13]

I view Leonard as a relatively safe pick. He'll be a serviceable center but never gonna be an all-star. I'm torn if that is what I'd want out of the 11th pick

Probably not an allstar, but his athleticism gives him some potential to be a pretty good shot blocker. As long as he produces more than Oden did, I'll be happy.

That's more than we got from a #1 pick
