Do you know the definition of 'blockbuster'? Or was that sarcasm?

This trade will change the entire history of not only the NBA, but the entire world.

sarcasm. i remember last year someone posted a thread claiming it be blockbuster trade when it was just Balkman to Denver

[Fcuk Orlando]

There really isn't much difference between the 22nd and 24th pick, at least we get 2 second rounders to satisfy Cuban's fetish on European players

They will probably end up drafting whoever they were planning to at 24. It sucks the Kirk to Portland rumors weren't true. He is basically a rich man's Steve Blake that can actually play D.

[NovU]

Maybe the Blozers have someone in mind that they hope to get at 22. Or they don't need too many inactive players. Probably the biggest blockbuster we will get to see this offseason.

[Lamrock]

If Lawson's off the board, I don't want them getting a PG. Adding more mediocre 1's to clog up the rotation won't fix anything.This offseason will be a bust if they don't consolidate their depth to get a better starting PG and/or backup PF

[jonthefon]

I think the Blazers are scraping the pieces to move up for someone like DeJuan Blair. I don't think they want another PG considering they have Blake and Jerryd Bayless is a-comin'.

[StupidBoy]

Supposedly, the Blazers and Kings are coveting the same guy, Omar Cassapi,(Kings have the 23th pick) so they traded for the 22th pick to screw Sactown.

Gotta love an Israeli getting attention in the draft. It's about damn time.

I've seen him play a couple of times. He dominates in Israel, obviously... will probably be a poor man's Hedo in the league for the first couple of years, but he has lots of potential. He also has the experience of having played against the pros in the European leagues.

[Stress Fracture]

Wow, another Asian player in the NBA. I just doubt when would be the time that a Filipino will enter the NBA..
