Official Blazersedge Draft Thread Part 2

We pick up the draft at Pick 20.
20. Charlotte Bobcats (from Denver)-- Alexis Ajinca 7'1" C, France
21. New Jersey Nets (from Dallas)-- Ryan Anderson 6'10" F, Cal
22. Orlando Magic-- Courtney Lee 6'5" G, Western Kentucky
23. Utah Jazz-- Kosta Koufas 7'0" C, Ohio State
24. Seattle Supersonics-- Serge Ibaka 6'10" F, Congo
25. Houston Rockets-- Nicolas Batum 6'7" G, France
26. San Antonio Spurs-- George Hill 6'2" G, IUPUI
27. New Orleans Hornets for the PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS-- Baby Point Guard 27" PG, Not Yet In School (maybe next year) Darrell Arthur 6'9" PF, Kansas
28. Memphis Grizzlies-- Donte Greene 6'10" F, Syracuse
29. Detroit Pistons (to Seattle)-- D.J. White 6'9" PF, Indiana
30. Boston Celtics-- What is going on? Is that assistant commish drunk in the back or something? They're slapping him around and forcing coffee down his throat so he's ready for the second round? Ahhhhh...there we go. J.R. Giddens 6'5" SG, New Mexico
Note: I'll say this again later, I'm sure, but for you draft diehards...there's another trade coming. Tonight, tomorrow, July 1, it's going to happen. There is no way on earth we're keeping Lamarcus Aldridge, Channing Frye, Ike Diogu, and Darrell Arthur. That just can't happen. It's a critical mass of power forwards leading to massive implosion.
Update: Josh McRoberts is apparently part of the Indiana deal also.
NEW THREAD ALERT: We will start a new thread for the fast-moving second round and all of the hardy souls who follow it. Some of these trades ought to be announced officially then.

This means either Bayless or Rudy are not going to be a starter.

I love KP what a genius
Augustin will be a great PG. BUMP several slots
Joe Alexander is a great guy BUMP several slots
Westbrook is a quality player BUMP several slots
Of course these bumps in turn bumped Bayless down to where we can trade chump change for him, KP YOU SNEAKY SO and SO!!!

Miami just worked him out with Mayo as a possible #2 pick at least Riley has a brain. Can’t say that about GM’s picking at 4 thru 12.
Guaranteed Bayless is the best Guard after Mayo and Rose in this draft. BOOK IT!

Also
he didn’t work out for us because he thought (like anyone who was paying attention BEFORE the hype noticed) that he was a lock for top 10. So he didn’t want to hurt his stock and work out for Blazers.

There have been hints Sergio is pouting
If so, he may be gone soon. I presume Blake is here through his contract, simply because he’s such a stable reliable player (even at a lower level than the great PG’s)

The mroe and more excited I am about Bayless. He will be awesome next to Roy, and a rotation with Rudy will be SAH-WEET.
And then ya got pure solidness with Blake. Cant beat it.

by pualo on Jun 26, 2008 6:34 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Yes.
That’s one reason Minnie forced the Roy/Foye thingy two years ago.
They wanted Foye the whole time anyway, so by picking Roy (and forcing a Blazers trade),
they not only got a taste of SPAM, they go to pay their guy (Foye) less than if they had taken him at 6.
Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.
by QualityPie on Jun 26, 2008 6:35 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
Minny wasn't that smart
It was, in fact, KP who Pritchslapped both the T-Wolves and Rockets in that situation. They had a deal already set for Minnesota to take Roy at 6 and Houston to take Foye at 8, and then swap Roy for Foye and Luther Head. They both expected KP to take Rudy Gay at 7. KP got wind of it, and screwed it up by trading with Boston for the 7, taking Foye there, then telling Minny that if they wanted their guy, we wanted Roy for Foye and cash.
Boom. Outta Here.

Bayless on ESPN Draft Chat Now...
It was all right. I think it was meant to be. Everything happens for a reason.
Nathan (41051 independence ky@): Jerryd! Huge fan, with the trade and all. How do you look forward to playing with oden and roy next year?
Jerryd Bayless: I’m really looking forward to it, playing with two all-stars. It’s going to be easy for a point guard to get them the ball.
Troy (Memphis): Do you think you can adjust to the schedule of the NBA?
Jerryd Bayless: Yeah. I’ll be fine. We travel a lot in college. I think I’ll be all right.
David (( La Grange)): What’s your main goal for next season?
Jerryd Bayless: Just to help win as many games as possible. Hopefully I can be able to do that.

Ford's ESPN review of pick #27:
This pick is going to the Blazers, and it makes Portland GM Kevin Pritchard look like a genius. Darrell Arthur is a top-15 talent in this draft, and Portland just stole him at No. 27. Yes, teams were worried about a kidney issue. But I’ve talked to two teams, and I’m told it’s not a big deal. I’m not sure if the Blazers will keep him or use him as a trade asset, but he’s a great value pick here. He has a chance to be an Antawn Jamison-type player.

it comes down to roster spots
i agree skills wise
i think kp has veterans in mind that he’s trying to save spots for

True enough
I’m guessing they’re stalling to see who the t-wolves pick. IF CDR or Chalmers gets picked, the trade might fall thru…just my guess.

just read that
I’m not too high on Batum but hey, in KP we trust
And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Oden when I lay my vengeance upon thee.

so, we have 13 players if Batum stays in Europe. 14 if he plays in Boise next year.
either way, Kopo still has hope for the final spot

wants to come over
will play in the D-league, IMO.

we might change is mind
especially since his salary slot is now quite a bit lower
by douglast on Jun 26, 2008 7:36 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs
if he's worth it
better to get him over now, before he signs a long Euro contract. If he wants to be here, get him some seasoning down in the D-league.

I'm surprised
Arthur is a steal down here at 27
But I actually wanted Batum so that we could stash him in Europe

Excellent.
I vote for calling the other one the “Portland Power”.
Blazers have a five-on-three...and they pull it back and wait for help.

batum and arthur?
We’re definitely trading someone in the front court. I don’t think we can afford Batum, Arthur, etc.
by 22rules on Jun 26, 2008 7:31 PM PDT reply actions 0 recs
chalmers or CDR at 33
either one is great value
package our remaining 30ish and the 55 to get 31 and get our pick of the two

I hate to say it
But I kinda wanted to keep Duh-rell. Sounded like a steal, and a forward is good to have.

He would have been sitting a lot, though.
Maybe it was for the best.

When you can get Arthur plus CDR or Chalmers?

Only if we have enough roster slots
I think that’s KP’s limitation.

You used the wrong form of "your"
Your = possessive
You’re = contraction for “you are”

I predict that within my lifetime
the NBA will institute something that will be commonly referred to as the Kevin Pritchard Rule. I don’t know what it’ll be, but eventually Pritchard will have to be stopped before he folds space and time itself.

We got two of my targets both of the slight but not major dreams. Batum is a baller make no mistake!

I feeel kind of bad.
I was at the garden, and when we all heard the news that jj was no longer going to be a blazer, I just heard the entire crowd start cheering like mad. I realize that Bayless is a guy to get excited about, but man, where’s the love for JJ? I hope he has a great career with the Pacers, or where ever he ends up if that isn’t his final destination. So long JJ, you were the bulldog of this team.

That’s pretty classless.
