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.

but I doubt he plays for us this year

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.
