I dont want another euro.

If we draft him I will consider it another draft-day failure for Portland. Nuff said.

Fork

I consider your post a failure.

And the phrase 'nuff said' is probably one of the stupidest things ever said or typed. Who the **** are you? Why is your *opinion* the last word of any argument?

Long time lurker on this forum,first time poster.

I have been reading up on this Andrea Bargnani guy on the internet and i must say from the short video clips that i have seen of him online. I must say that i'm rather impressed with him in the clip that i watched for being so young at only age 20 years old. Sure the clip was short.

But he had a quick first step to the basket and drive to the hole. He seems to me to have excellent and great timing when he goes up for blocks and rebounds. With some good training and lifting some weights in the weight room to gain some more muscle and strength he could be a real good fit for the blazers next year. That of course is if we get a good draft spot right around the #First to #Third pick range. Which is not guaranteed.

What i personally think we need for this upcoming draft this year is a power forward or center. If the blazers make some shifts around to the team and it's players next summer. Then i think drafting a power forward or center would be a good fit to have. We need big bodys and help rebounding the ball alot the blazers are either dead last or next to dead last in rebounding in the nba out of all the teams.

And i read on nbadraft.com last night about Andrea Bargnani and it said on his information part that he's also a hard worker and very coachable. And Nate Mcmillan loves guys that work there butts off and that he can coach and that will really listen and put the time in to what he is saying.


My question to either italianBBlover or Fork or Toxicity. Do you think Andrea Bargnani is at all some what similar to Arvydas Sabonis?


Who played for portland for a few years here.

U mad?


Get outta here, take a look at ya life. Pop another zoloft and sit down.





oh yeah, go blazers.

Fork

I like the slang that you use. Typing 'U' instead of 'you' must save you literally milliseconds a day. But that adds up. Smart.

FYI, Zoloft has been shown to trigger both violent and suicidal behavior.

im crushed.

keep adding up those posts! your almost at 5,000!

im done with this clown. keep it moving.

Toxicity

In a word: no! They're different player... Sabonis was a slow but great center while Bargnani is a fast forward (and he'll never be a C)... Both shoot well from outside but Bargnani can shoot off the dribble too and has a much quicker release on his jumper... some qualities can be also the same but it's too early to tell exactly...

AsTheBlazersTurn

Ok thanks Toxicity. I still like Bargnani game though. I think he would be a perfect fit for the blazers either bargnani or Adam. But i think we desperately need a big body for this draft. And he seems to fit that very well and would be a good fit for Nate to coach and help him grow as a player even more then what he already is now at his young age. Size matters.

ThatBlazerGuy

What do you mean when saying you dont wanna draft a euro? I think all the recent Euro hate is going to drop Andrea a bit, and make other teams regret basing their draft on where a player is from rather than the guys actual skills. I wouldnt care if he was Mongolian, this kid can friggin play.

AsTheBlazersTurn

I agree.

There are alot of good basketball players in the huge large world of ours Some young and some older. No matter where the guy is from. He dserves a chance to play. NCAA or Euro doesn't matter to me. If he can play and has skills then he deserves at least a look at by the Blazers come draft work outs.

Utherhimo

If he drops which i dont see but if he does then maybe we can buy. trade or steal him


morrison and bargnani *drools and faints*

Both morrison and bargnani will go near the top of the draft. So if portland gets either the First,Second or Third pick in the draft then theses are two guys i feel that we should have our eyes on. Inless of course Nate has another key guy or two in mind that will help us out in this years draft.
