Lebron can ball that's for sure. I didn't think that he would benefit his team as quickly has he has. Cav's in the playoffs next year for sure. :thumbup:

I fail to see why drafting high school kids is a problem. It's not a career that requires a degree, and if a kid can ball better than most college students, why not go pro?

Yes, using your athletic talent to help earn a free degree is good, but college is definitely not for all people, especially young black basketball players.

I don't know about the deal. Granted we need a point gaurd, but to give up both our first round pick's and next year's as well. I guess we are a lot worse off then I thought. h:

Well it was a good trade for what Portland wanted, which say they want a good collection of young talent...but honestly the Blazers need a freaking leader. They need someone to help build the team around.

Unless Portland see's something I don't, even with those pick's there isn't one of them that you could build your team around. :dunno:

I know, thats my point. Portland wants to build a collection of young talent. I'm suggesting one solid team leader instead. Two different opinions I suppose. But hell, blazers know what they're doing right? They were only 27-55 last year :chuckles:
