I know...and I understand that keeps teams from deliberately tanking in order to get the first choice--but when you're thinking of a man as naturally competitive as Nate McMillan, it's hard to even consider the possibility that he might ever tank a game, much less a season. Portland sucked dreadfully, but they sucked honestly, and in a perfect system they'd've gotten the first pick.

I do agree, it is a shame at times when the worst team is dealt another blow. Not only did they not get the #1, they fell to lowest spot possible.

Hellish bad karma they've got going on up there. I hope they can recoup; sad to see a proud franchise like that one collapse so completely.

Not at Charlotte's expense, though....

Sad thing is, it's not going to get any better. Rebuilding takes time, a lot of it, as a Chicago fan I know

.

Reports have them cleaning house, which is a great start. They need to rid themselves off Miles and Randolph, I'm suprised they haven't tried to work something out for say Jalen Rose's expiring contract.

There was a rumor yesterday going around on LakersUnderground that had Cookie, Devean and I don't remember who else going to Portland in exchange for Darius Miles and Steve Blake. Not sure, but I think it was debunked almost immediately. Somehow the Blazers have to get rid of Miles and Randolph, you're right. Can't even try to rebuild with those two still there.

Noone really wants Darius and Phil is actually quite fond of Cookie, I can easily see why it was debunked almost immediately.

I was more referring to the dreadful 6 year span that was beyond torture.

Question, anyone have some info on the 'Cats scouting department. I just find it strange that majority of others teams have been quite active so far and from what I can tell the 'Cats have done nothing.

And to top things off, Bickerstaff supposedly went over to Europe to catch a glimpse of Bargnani in action

I like that idea. He'd definitely be available say around 7 or 8. What would they try to get for in return?

7 or 8? No way. I think Roy could (bear with me) could go #1 overall, pending an excellent workout and a mediocre one by Aldridge. I don't see MoPete anywhere in Toronto's future.

ziggy66 · 05-30-2006, 05:53 PM

Brandon Roy is very good, But I can't see Toronto or anybody else being able to justify a number 1 overall pick of Roy with their fanbase.
If the GM for any franchise made that pick, then their job would instantly be on the line.
You just can't pick a guard #1 overall unless you're sure hes going to be a multi-time all star. With Roy thats not a certainty.
Now, If hes sitting there at #3 and Charlotte drafts him, then I have absolutely no problem with it.

Chan · 05-31-2006, 10:17 AM

Things can change quite a bit in the workouts. I think Aldridge's stock could drop because of the bench-press test. And I thought Babcock's job was on the line when he picked Villanueva last year.

**WhoDaBest23** · 06-01-2006, 08:59 PM

My bet is on Charlotte picking either Morrison or Gay, one of them is bound to be there for sure when they pick. I like Roy too and wouldn't mind it as much if the Cats pick him, but I'd rather have one of the two that I stated. The fact is that they should get an impact swingman regardless. We'll just have to wait on the workouts though...
