Chad Ford grades the Blazers' draft
Grade: B-
Bottom line: "The Blazers had a solid draft, but Pritchard's rep has made "solid" seem disappointing."

Haha Spurs get an A+ of course
Dictated, not read. The management.

With what they had to pick from, I think the Spurs had a great draft.

One of the weakest drafts of all time and KP gets Patrick Mills at 55. I think the Blazers
got an A under the circumstances. They did the absolute best with the cards they were dealt. You could give them a D if we based it off of talent acquired. Even though I’m really excited about seeing Patrick Mills.

How much did we get for Sergio?
Arguably, nothing. I think we were trying to get into the tier 1 player range, but settled solidly for the Euro when our guys, whoever they were, weren’t left on the board.
No a bad try, but had Sergio’s stock fallen that much?

Actually I think we had to pay Sacramento some too. Man, it must suck to be valued so low that that needs to be paid to take you on.

I think
We specifically traded him to Sacramento for basically free to put Sergio in a good situation. Helps our rep league wide with players, helps us convince Euros to come over, and its a nice human thing to do.
I think we coulda’ got “more” for Sergio. He is at least a capable backup PG, which a lot of teams don’t have.
But this way, we get who we supposedly wanted, and Sergio gets to go to maybe the only team he could have a chance to start. It’s a nice move to make.

Poor Hawks
It’s been four years and they’re still getting killed about Chris Paul.

Hollinger thought KP should have gone for DeJuan Blair and DaJuan Summers.
Summers would’ve had to change his first name to ‘DaNother’.

Meh
I’m more interested in how well the Blazers do over the entire off-season, not just the draft.

Somethings gotta happen
Methinks it’ll be Hinrich/McDyess. If that happens the Blazers should move up to an A.
