2012 - CB draft board "Let's get it on!"

[Who]

Portland Management has returned to its Boston War Room after spending a week scouting in Virginia.  It's a pleasure to be back, and with that said....


With the 109th pick in the 2012 CBDraft, the Portland Trailblazers select Chauncey Billups - G

Thought you'd go with ____ ___ instead there. I love Chauncey, hope he comes back strong this year.

I was wondering where Chauncey would go. Not too sure what to make of him coming off that torn achilles. An awful bad injury for a near-36 year old guard.

[33-00-32]

I am at a point right now when I really like my team. If you have questions about my team pm and i'll convince you.

I think you have a fun team to watch but are missing the star power to probably win it all.

I would argue the Cousins will be a star in his third year. Other than lack of star power how would you improve my team?

I think you need a veteran presence, someone who can lead the team. There are some of those out there (there goes one now-Billups). I don't think you want Cousins to be that guy and I really like DMC and agree he could take off in 12-13.

Yeah I like him as a bench player but not as a starter. How will Billups be utilized?

Yep, it's gonna be touch and go for him, but the most recent reports have him returning at the start of the season, with Chauncey himself declaring that he'll play a full 82.

I'm skeptical how that will work.

Defense -- both in the backcourt and the frontcourt

I agree here defense is an issue with ryan anderson,lin,kevin martin

I would love to have a strong defensive PF alongside Cousins for the both the good of the team + to help Cousins grow as a defender. Much like Taj Gibson with Brook Lopez in San Antonio. Someone with a lot of quickness and defensive range at PF who can play off of Cousins' bulk and physical power at center.

Then bring Ryan Anderson off the bench. I think that's the best role for Anderson and would be reluctant to start him without a strong defensive C alongside him (because of the combined lack of interior defense).

I would also consider bringing Kevin Martin off the bench. I think Jeremy Lin and DeMarcus Cousins will do the vast majority of the heavy lifting offensively. Wilson Chandler is a fine additional offensive option. I think Kev Martin will find more opportunities coming off the bench.

I'd be looking to bring in someone with a jumper and a solid handle who can play above average defense to start at SG. If it were a SG/SF, that would be great because he could backup W.Chandler at SF too and play alongside Kevin Martin when Martin comes in. Maybe give all three guys around 32 minutes a game if you can land a good enough player there.

That would be what I would like to see this team do.
