2011 NBA Draft

[MartyFunkhouser]

I fucking hate the Blazers. I'm done.

And then I read that Montiejunas is being dealt to Houston.

That makes more sense. Last think TWolves need is another rookie. Mirotic would've been a decent pick because he won't be coming over for 3 years. But the Wolves need something now.
Instead, they got Brad miller. But they get the 23 where they could take Mirotic and a future 1st. Good trade.

SMR doing the draft for Blazers tonight.

[MartyFunkhouser]

2010 draft: lame duck GM and we get Luke Babbitt
2011 draft: no GM and we get Nolan Smith

Damn you Paul Allen.

[Jacob]

Oooo, don't give up yet Funk!

Trade with Denver probable.

[Surfah]

And now talks of Felton for Miller. Rough night for Funk.

I wondered what happened with Luke Babbit.

Nice trade for both teams. Houston gets to try to salvage something out of Flynn and get potential star offensive player.

I'm actually okay with that deal if Batum isn't in the deal. I don't love that trade as a Miller fan though. At this point, I would love to see the Blazers trade Miller because it will make the breakup with this team easier.

The Denver trade may result in Funk getting Farried after all.

What is Denver doing with that trade? Are they trying to screw defenses up like pitching Nolan Ryan and then bringing Tim Wakefield out of the pen? Lawson to Miller is about as big of a change in PG play as you can get.

I'm liking Singleton more now that I know he's not going to Utah:

Chris Singleton when asked what he's going to do to celebrate: "Celebrate? I'm just going to mark off the teams that passed me up."

I don't understand the deal from Denver's perspective except as a salary dump, which requires cutting Miller. I love Miller's game and as big of a Miller homer as there is out there, but the guy is 35 years old and will regress. Felton is younger and the better player right now.

On the other hand, if McMillan is still insistent on slowing the game down, why in the hell do you trade for Felton. He thrives playing uptempo and McMillan plays a ridiculous slow down game.

[BGRTHNUMEGO]

Confirmed that Reggie Jackson will be a stud as he gets picked by OKC.

[Donuthole]

If Sheldon Mack slips to the 2nd round, I wouldn't mind seeing the Jazz trade to get him. Just a thought.
