Oh man. If you want to see what it's like to NOT be Portland...I mean to have a complete and total anti-Portland draft experience...if you want to know what it feels like to become a victim of the Draftburglar...you need to read the following Sacramento Kings open thread from our good friends at SacTown Royalty. You know how we have the Greg Oden lottery thread permalinked in our sidebar because of all of the excitement and good feelings it evokes, even a year later? This is like the antithesis of that thread. There's a show on National Geographic called "Seconds from Disaster" where they chronicle, minute by minute, the events that led up to a famous, tragic event like an airline crash or a gas pipe explosion. This feels like one of those shows. It's all right there, beginning with the moment when the Bobcats took D.J. Augustin and they knew something was going wrong, continuing through Jersey's Lopez pick when they got the wild surge of hope that they'd pull out of it, then plunging into the inevitable moment when you can literally feel the energy being sucked out of the entire fanbase. It's a good thing SBN 2.0 puts protective firewalls around each of its blogs otherwise we might have accidentally crossed the event horizon and the whole network could have been sucked into one, big, despairing void of deflated yuckiness. The best part is, much like a bike rider in a long train tunnel, there were a couple of people who saw it coming. The whole thread started with the command not to jinx it. Ooops! We know that feeling, eh Blazer fans? But not to-day-ay!!!
Obligatory warning: This thread is SOOOOO not safe for work because of the language. Well, maybe if you work in a porno shop with drunken sailors who have gone off of their Tourette's meds. No...even they would blush. But in this context all of that seems vaguely appropriate.
Link to the thread of dooooooooooom...

Wow
That’s just sad. They knew KP was going to mess up their day and then Petrie kicked them in the crotch.
This was my favorite mini-thread. It still has cuss words in it.

-that blazers GM is a mothereffin genius.
-So in other words If we had just drafted Rush we may have swung a deal for Bayless?
-I’m about to wage war on Portland.
-Again, they’ve outsmarted us….
-Portland continues to stockpile young talent. They’re the frickin Rays of the NBA .

Personally, I like the next thread, with this conversation
” Portland’s problem-They can only play five of ‘em at a time. Good God!”
“The A All STars or the B All Stars?”
” Their practices-could be better than our games.”
“Ya think? I mean is there even a question about that?”

I recall writing home from boot camp.
Telling my mom that there must be a regulation in the Navy that you cannot string for than 3 words together with the f word being included. (My mom really hated that word.)
It was a good thing too. While at home between A school and Sub school, I’m at the dinner table and I as someone if they could pass the f-ing butter. My dad passed me the butter. A little later I’m downstairs watching TV when my two yougest brothers come down, wide-eyed, telling me they couldn’t believe what I said at the table. I looked at them like they were nuts and asked what they were referring to. When they related the butter line, I said No f-ing way. I would never f-ing say that at the dinner table.

Greetings from Sacramento
Don’t worry. We don’t hate you. We save that for the Lakers and (to a lesser degree) the Warriors. We do, however, envy the hell out of you.
You guys have earned it, though. The bottom for you a few years back had to be particularly painful. Like us with the Kings, I know that the Blazers can be a source of great civic pride.
I am a season ticket holder and I intend to see both Blazers games every year for the next several years, as your team is extremely gifted and should play entertaining basketball. That said, if you ever want to move your entire team and city to the eastern conference, I will not protest.
Congratulations on a great evening.

I hope that you cheer for us as adamantly in the finals as I did for the Kings a few years back. That is, of course, assuming things pan out the way we’re hoping for. It looks nice now, but there’s still a long way to go.

I was cheering the for Kings when they were at their peak a few years ago. I really liked the players (C. Webb, Bibby, Jackson, Christie, Peja, Divac) you had at that time. All good guys and played a great brand of basketball to watch. It helped that you had Rick Adelman my all time favorite coach, and that you were up against the Fakers whom the league cheated to get to the finals!!!
But for now I have to say, GO BLAZERS!!!

Pritchard deserves kudo’s, but I’m still wondering why Larry Bird went along with it. Josh friggin McRoberts is why the Pacers took Bayless away? Jeesh.

It was a reference to where I am
And where Pritchard is, not necessarily that I want to kill him perse. (Truth is I wasn’t so hot on Bayless anyway and I don’t really care that the Blazers have him. With Roy they could afford to get a flawed smaller SG, as opposed to a team like the Kings who need more of a pass first PG than they have had since Bobby Hurley. It really doesn’t matter so much at this point whether I want to hurt Pritchard or not anyway.)
The other part of this is that Pritchard has Paul Allen which allows him to spend 3 million dollars on a fringe lower 1st round draft pick. Does this work? Yes, and Pritchard has the picks to show for it. Does it mean that I think the Kings are in the position to buy picks for multiple years on end either? No, and they aren’t going to do that.
WARNING: Blazers fans should be happy, but the next idiot that comes on StR (and I’m not calling Blazer fans idiots) and tells me Travis Outlaw would be the 2nd best player on the Kings, I’m really going to light up, and I guarantee the language woudl make Andrew Dice Clay blush.

Yah
Some fans are silly and among the silliest are those who go to other team’s boards and act like jerks.
For the record: Kevin Martin and Ron Artest are clearly better than Outlaw and probably better than Outlaw will ever be. Brad Miller has had a better career than Outlaw and is still a far more dependable piece. Which you’d prefer would depend on what you valued but you have to say Miller is the better player overall right now if you discount future career arc. Beno Udrih is an up-and-comer who is at least Travis’ equal right now. I also like John Salmons and while I would not trade Outlaw for him personally I could see where people would consider them comparable.
That makes Travis no better than fourth and possibly as low as sixth if put on the Kings.

Nobody's fault and I'm not holding anybody accountable
Just a simple point to be made. I didn’t think anybody would come and do what one lakers moron (a fan would be insulting those who are fans-fans are able to root for their team without putting down other teams-other than the normal ways) did a few months ago. There was none of that, and I’m not saying there was.
On the other hand I think so many of us were mostly frustrated at the internal lack of activity compared to Pritchards. (Alot of that is the decision to remain status quo with what many regard as a mediocre roster. That isn’t Pritchard’s fault, but he was an easy target Tuesday night. I realize many of you know this, and treated it as such.) But Pritchard has done this every single year he’s been GM so far and it was hardly a surprise. Truth be told I’m still a tad surprised Bayless dropped to 11, and I wasn’t so keen myself on having a shoot first PG after watching Bibby for the better part of this decade. Good luck, and again, I enjoy BE when I get a chance to peruse it. If you guys aren’t the cream of the crop of Blazers fans, I’m not sure I want to know who the cream is.

Best of luck to you guys, though I’m envious that you have Allen and Pritchard instead of our buffoon silver spoon owners and Petrie the Slow Actor. I do hope Thompson turns out to be a solid player; its frustrating to see us not take action on trading picks, etc. Sure you don’t wanna lend us Pritchard for a year or two?

Now, if you ever come to Sacramento and you want to go to the nice places, wait until you get to the curb at the airport, go up to the local sheriff and say to him “The eagle flies at midnight.” He will give you a quizzical look, at which time you should follow up with “My, that is a lovely bunch of coconuts.” The sheriff will then provide you with transportation to one of our finer establishments, where you will spend the remainder of the evening being photographed, given new clothing, and you will also be provided with lodging.
Welcome to Sacramento!

Houston
Maryland
Wisconsin Stevens Point
Longwood College
Eastern Illinois
Who knows, Jason Thompson might have been a steal.
