Funkyzeit mit Matt · 06-30-2006, 08:09 AM

I read a report yesterday saying he is out the door

I thought M'ike D'Antoni traded for him with the assumption he was a project and would start to get some real minutes this year or next.

So is N'Ikolai T'Skitishvilli gone or what?

**Dissonance19** · 06-30-2006, 09:12 AM

Well, Skita didn't show much when he did play, and we're slim on money as it is so.

Pain5155 · 06-30-2006, 09:45 AM

just get rid of him.

BootyKing · 06-30-2006, 10:13 AM

Strange, so we are down to

Nash
Raja
Marion
Diaw
Amare

KT
Jones
Burke

TT Maybe
House gone
Skita gone

Thats 8 players

. Don't you need 11 or 12 to be an NBA team.

**Dissonance19** · 06-30-2006, 10:16 AM

We're looking at 2 guards, TT, and someone athletic on the perimeter. According to the new article I posted. We want to someone like that to help us in WCF.

You forgot Leandro Barbosa. And House isn't officiallly gone so lets pray. Because there is no way that I want him to play beside Antoine Walker.

ALSO... I have a question. What does it mean when it says first round draft pick top 5 protected untill 2007?

House is gone. His agent said he's opting out. And I didn't even notice Barbosa lol.

And top 5 protected means if you if it's top 5, it's not our pick. But from Atlanta their pick to us is top 3 protected next yr.

So if Atlanta is top 3 next year do we just not get a pick from them ever? That just screws us.

**Dissonance19** · 06-30-2006, 11:38 AM

No, it changes from yr to yr. Lottery this yr, top 3 next yr, and unprotected in '08. It's not slam dunk that great prospects will be out next yr so, 08 may be lucky time to get it. But we could wind up with a really good player if it's between 4th- 8th pick next yr

Man, hopefully these highschool kids stay at least two years... then we can hope Atlanta gets a high pick in '08.

Greg Oden, Kevin Durant, Chase Budinger, etc.
-best hs class ever.

Blazers claim Tskitishvili

Quote:

The Blazers today claimed former lottery pick Nikoloz Tskitishvili off waivers from the Phoenix Suns and expect the 7-foot forward with long-range shooting touch to play on the team's Summer League team in Las Vegas with a chance to be invited to training camp.

Tskitishvili was the fifth overall pick in the 2002 draft by the Denver Nuggets, but has struggled in the NBA, averaging 2.9 points in 11.3 minutes in 172 career games.

He played two and a half seasons with the Nuggets before being traded to Golden State. Last season he split time between Minnesota and Phoenix, playing in only 17 games while averaging 2.1 points and 1.3 rebounds.

"I said why not take a look at that,'' coach Nate McMillan said. "He is known for being able to shoot the ball and spread the floor. I don't think he's had a lot of opportunity to play, but a lot of people were high on him, and it just hasn't worked out for a few different teams. Really, we don't lose anything for this, it's an opportunity for us to look at a guy who has been around. Maybe he is someone who can help us.''

The '07 draft is pretty deep so even if Atlanta ends up 4 or 5 we should get a pretty decent player. If they do get Top 3 next year we will use it in '08 and chances are Atlanta will be in the lottery again anyway.

Lukasbmw · 06-30-2006, 03:55 PM

WTF?

So we trade a second round pick to look at this guy for half a season?

I guess we didn't like what we saw.

Perhaps there is a reason he has been a bust so far. A lack of effort perhaps?

**Seuss** · 06-30-2006, 03:58 PM

I can't believe he was picked #4 overral. Thats just sad.
Anytime he was on the floor it was ugly. Burke is better then him.
Burke is even more athletic then him. Portland has landed another benchwarmer.
