Bye Bye Bassy?

There is a rumour going around that the Blazers may ship Telfair to Boston for Dickau and the number 7 pick. Since there is some chance either Roy or Gay could be there at 7, let's just say I could not be more giddy about this idea.

Blazers: Please, please, please pull the trigger on this one.

This may also be a sign that I was right when I predicted Jack would be the PG of the future the moment he was drafted, only a year after they completely botched their pick and took Telfair about 13 picks early.

More on the draft tomorrow.

Looks like Portland made that trade which I think is fantastic.

Here's my top 10 prediction:

1. Bargnani
2. Ty Thomas (will be part of a trade)
3. Morrison (Word is it is Gay or Morrison and even though word is Jordan doesn't like Morrison, he may be gunshy about passing on a guy like this after the whole Kwame fiasco)
4. Aldridge (The right pick anyway and Charlotte would be doing the Blazers a huge PR favor by picking Morrison)
5. Sheldon Williams (could be Roy and then a trade, but I think Atlanta doesn't want what Houston has to offer and this is their guy, but it's a mistake)
6. Roy (I think they'll decide that if they keep KG, they need his toughness and either way who knows if McCants is ever coming back)
7. Gay (best case scenario for PDX. In the first two picks they have their replacements for Zebo and Miles and can keep trying to offload those guys to the knicks)
8. Foye (would be Reddick if not for his back which will be all too familiar to Houston. by the way, I think Foye is going to be great)
9. O'Bryant (the only guy they care about and this is only if they can't swing a trade, but I don't think they can and so he's their guy)
10. Simmons (for NJ, though I wonder if they couldn't be the missing 3rd team in the AI to Boston deal. Maybe Philly gets Rashard and Swift or something like that)

10 things that will happen, not "might", "will."

With the season kicking off tonight, every where you look in the paper, on TV or on line people are making their predictions. Well, I’ve read enough, so now I need to share with you what’s really going to happen. These aren’t predictions, this just simple fact. Here are some of the things that will happen in football before Tuesday morning: 1. Deuce McAllister will post better numbers than Reggie Bush this week, but Bush will do something that will remind us all of Sanders and Vick. I see one of those 6 yard runs that takes 2 minutes where about 8 guys miss tackles. 2. The Niners will not be as bad as everyone predicts and the game against the Cardinals will be close 3. TO will have a big game and everyone will act like nothing ever happened and the Cowboys (especially the Tuna) are geniuses for signing him. In 3 weeks when he really melts down, the media will forget everything they said and act like Dallas is the stupidest franch...

August Blues August is a tough month in the world of sports. You basically have Baseball, the PGA Championship and the unfulfilled promise of football. The PGA championship is fine, but it has the downside of being golf. For me, watching golf can actually be fairly entertaining but it really requires Tiger to be in the hunt. I’m an unapologetic bandwagon Tiger fan. I don’t so much like Tiger as I enjoy his dominance. I just like watching Tiger set records and dominate the sport, so if he’s in contention golf is pretty fun, but if not…it’s just golf. So the PGA has a chance to be interesting, but you can’t really count on it. I’m a baseball fan, but mostly I’m a Giant’s fan, so like Tiger and golf, I’m mostly only interested in baseball if the Giants are good. If you follow baseball at all you know the Giants are..ummm…how should I put this….awful. That’s it, they are awful. And that would be bad enough, but to make matters worse they have this Bonds guy, maybe you’ve heard of ...

The Blazers should have gotten the number one pick. They did their best to lose every single game down the stretch and had more ping-pong balls than anyone. Thankfully, they were robbed. Giving the number one pick to the Blazers would be like putting a super-juiced up driver in the hands of a bad golfer. A longer driver in the hands of a bad golfer just means he hits the shot even further out of bounds. The Blazers are so inept when it comes to the draft, giving them the first pick would just be setting them up for another catastrophic failure. Without question they would have taken Center Patrick O’Bryant from Bradley. O’Bryant is a completely unproven bigman with plenty of “upside.” You know, like Olowakandi was when the Clippers made him the number one pick a few years back. Speaking of the Clippers, are the Blazers the new Clippers? Now that the Clips have advanced in the playoffs and the Hawks’ questionable spending on Joe Johnson now looks like a good move, haven’t the Blazers of...
