OK COUP WHO DO YOU THINK AT 55?
8:37 [Comment From rrebel_rrebel]
Why does Stuart Scott think it's important to tell us about the players' tattoos?
8:37 Coup - Rip City Project: Mills if he's still there.
8:38 Casey Holdahl, blazers.com: Got to be Mills if he's on the board. That would be a nice little pickup
8:38 [Comment From Risgay]
i wish we can trade and somhow get ricky rubio...than we will have a spanish connection!
8:38 [Comment From 503Warriors]
Yeah we need to get Pat Mills.
8:38 [Comment From Guest]
so now sergio is gonna be on the same team as diogu?
8:38 Casey Holdahl, blazers.com: That would seem to be the case
8:38 [Comment From kinodafilipino]
OK ONE MORE WHO DO WE GET IN FREE AGENCY
8:39 Coup - Rip City Project: Hard to tell. Two weeks ago I would've said Kidd and Bass, but I don't know if we'll need a Bass/McDyess if Pendergraph pans out.
8:40 [Comment From Guest]
does trailblazers hav any more picks?
8:40 Coup - Rip City Project: Next pick, Guest. No. 55.
8:40 [Comment From Fil]
Kirk Hinrich over Kidd. Age a big concern.
8:41 Coup - Rip City Project: I'm on board for Kidd tutoring Bayless for two years, Fil, at the right price of course.
8:41 [Comment From K.T.]
I agree
8:41 [Comment From Marcus]
kidd would be good lol
8:41 [Comment From matthew]
we should get Patric Mills a good scoring and passing point
8:42 [Comment From Cody]
You really think that could happen
8:42 [Comment From Bisgay]
NO more picks for blazers Guest
8:42 [Comment From bignate]
what about nash i think he would be great for use and bayless
8:42 [Comment From Kyle Stenersen]
Are we getting Hirnrich? or is that a dud?
8:42 Coup - Rip City Project: Nash is going to cost more. Kidd is a free agent.
8:42 [Comment From Fil]
That's the kicker though - right price. There'll also be a cost in experience. Ok Kidd tutors him in practice, but Bayless gets no time on the floor with Kidd there.
8:43 Coup - Rip City Project: Well obviously you don't bring in Kidd to push Bayless to the bench. Blake might have to be moved in that case.
8:43 [Comment From bignate]
i think either would be great to mentor bayless
8:43 [Comment From Mitch]
Nash is $12 mill
8:43 Casey Holdahl, blazers.com: Trail Blazers on the clock with the No. 55 pick. I'm calling Patty Mills
8:43 [Comment From comment from Tony Z.]
I think Blake is just fine as are point. Bayless off the bench. Let's go get Tirkoglu!
8:43 [Comment From david]
lets pick up mills with this pick
8:43 Coup - Rip City Project: I second Mills.
8:43 [Comment From Ptown KANG]
how about trade for one of minnesotas pgs? that an idea?
8:44 [Comment From SA]
Couldnt that quickly turn into a disastor coup?
8:44 Coup - Rip City Project: Disaster? Nah, I don't see it. I don't think bringing in a vet is going to create huge issues.
8:44 Casey Holdahl, blazers.com: Here goes ...
8:44 [Comment From Cody]
Vaden goes so Mills is still there
8:44 [Comment From littlelogos]
blake is a good point gaurd, why chuck him?
8:44 [Comment From Andy]
here we go! last pick of the night!
8:45 Coup - Rip City Project: Mills!
8:45 Coup - Rip City Project: Heyo. Air five, Casey?
8:45 Casey Holdahl, blazers.com: There it is. Mills! That's a nice pick. Kid can play
8:45 [Comment From kinodafilipino]
YES PATTY MILLS BABY
8:45 Casey Holdahl, blazers.com: Air five!
8:45 [Comment From Cody]

8:45 [Comment From chase]

8:45 [Comment From chase]

8:45 [Comment From Wendell]
Well, the Blazers get Mills after all.
8:45 [Comment From SA]
We'd be pinning our hopes to jaybay
8:46 Coup - Rip City Project: I'm willing to take that risk, SA.
8:46 [Comment From Andy]
Mills. good call, Casey
8:46 [Comment From Guest]
thats awesome, mills is a good player
8:46 [Comment From bignate]
blake is great. i just hate seeing fast point guards go buy him all the time
8:46 [Comment From david]
Mills is LEGIT seriously, watched this kid when he played in Vegas at the WCC tournament right after the injury, the kid was poised and confident. An excellent kid with great work ethic
8:46 [Comment From Andy]
Mills. good call casey and coup
8:46 [Comment From JAMES]
our problem as blazers isnt resolved yet?
8:46 [Comment From Fil]
Nice pick in Mills
