Unrestricted speculation is fun. ESPN knows this, and their NBA Lottery thingie is back. It is pretty pointless, but I recommend it, especially if you should be working. I keep running it over and over and the Blazers keep ending up with UCLA super soph-point Russell Westbrook. The system seems to be designed for Portland to take the best PG available at their awarded spot, and so far he's the guy. Interesting that DraftExpress has him as the 15th pick in the 2009 draft, the ESPN must love the guy a lot more. I have heard KP himself checked out a UCLA game when Portland was in LA.
Whatever the Blazers pick ends up being, I wouldn't be surprised to see some vintage KP trades (he has all those second round picks, expiring contracts, and some young talent-mostly available for the right price!) to move up and take the a player he really likes, assuming he's found one he'd want to move up for. Or he could even end up moving down, or using the pick to get someone already in the league (Hi Jose!). Being made of magic is fun like that.

"being made of magic" is brilliant. also brilliant is that little clip ch 37 plays/previews where our magic man breaks down little nba secrets he learned from chris mullin and mookie blaylock. magical indeed.
i've never seen westbrook play, but it all of a sudden he became that cool kid everyone is talking about. i have seen jerryd bayless a few times and like his scoring and athleticism.
side note: never, ever buy speakers out of a white van. if someone tries to sell you a hugely discounted set of brand new speakers out of a white van, punch that person in the face and try and break his nose. if you don't want to touch swine, just pretend you are going to the atm to withdraw money, call the police, and then stall until they get there. either way (breaking of swine nose or police call) you are making a solid move, much smarter than the one i made recently.
That comment was too good to be a comment. When are we gonna get another blog entry submission out of you?
