Cook moved into the 23rd position on the latest mock draft, going to the lowly Knicks. It would serve him right.

The truth be told find a team as deserving as the blazers you would be hard pressed, i mean lets not forget how they passed on jordan for whats his name? I know one thing as a life long blazer fan even i think its a little unfair that the blazers have this much talent in every position and only average 23 years of age… ITS ABOUT TIME!!!!!!

Cook is going to go one spot higher with Hibbert announcing that he’s coming back to G’Town next season.

I disagree. I still think it is rigged and this was David Stern’s way of punishing Memphis and Boston for tanking the season.

I think it’s definitely proof that the lottery isn’t rigged (at least these days). The NBA needs talent in the East in a bad way and the top 2 go West..

I guess the lottery isn’t rigged or maybe it is and they wanted to push the “jail-blazers” stigma further away…who knows. Either way Portland got the hook up. They should be pretty good and out west it takes quite a bit of talent to be one of the elite squads.

I was pulling for Redd and the Bucks, but I did get some joy to see the faces at the Celtics draft party.

I’m glad Oden is going to a cool area of the country, although I was hoping he would end up in the East. I don’t know about anyone else, but I am 0-45 this year, when is comes to staying up for a west coast NBA game. Hopefully Zach Randolph gives up the ball enough to give Oden some touches. Did you see Oden’s comments on ESPN today?

“He said all we do is run and I looked at him and said, ‘really?’ and then he said if you like to play go out West, it’s fun out there,”’ Oden said. “It’s going to be a running experience for me. I’m definitely going to be dunked on out there. It’s going to be a challenge.”

At least this kid is realistic.

Oregon is such a beautiful place to live with the Cascade Mountains and visually stunning Willamette Valley. A place you can snow ski in the summer on Mt. Hood and fish the wild streams in the winter. Greg will absolutely thrive in this environment with their abundance of hazelnuts, potatoes, peppermint and hops. A place you can grow your own for personal use.

I see Daequan is 27th on Ford’s latest mock draft…
