** runs away **
He just got taken at #23 by Toronto so him going to Portland is not happening. Wouldn't be surprised if they take a Euro guy to stash overseas.
I should copy and paste the text I just sent in my group text. Here comes a "great value pick". Aka Blazers will never pay him and you'll have to fly to some obscure European city to see him play because he will never develop. #petterikoponen

Okey dokey that OG pick didn't pan out so now I am officially on the Bell bandwagon. It will put Portland at 16 players but I have to imagine consolidation trades are coming between now and training camp.

I was hoping for Bell but that's an OK pick.

Eh, not a huge fan of that one. I wonder what this all means for Nurk.

Yeah, that's an interesting pick. Elite rebounder and he can shoot threes. Bad foot speed so probably not a quality defender. Sounds like a good hustle guy, which always helps.

ya I wanted Jordan too, but if Swanigan comes close to what he did in college that's a good pick that late in the first.

I don't see Portland extending Vonleh so I'm sure Swanigan will be able to work himself into some backup 4 minutes as he develops.

If they're smart they'll realize that Altman is a coach who gets his players to play above their potential.

And now Bell has been traded to the Warriors. There were rumors the Warriors really wanted him so it they got their man. Even better spot for him.
