Boo CDR. Go Chalmers! I wouldn't mind Jordan either. Also, I like Arthur a lot and Donte Greene is not half bad. No one seems to be mentioning him.

What do you all think about Donte Green??? He could be a nice peice behind Gay, and also could play alongside Gay at times! He is supposed to be a nice shooter...

I do not see how this is a big deal. Arthur will be able to overcome that. His talent is immense.

CDR or Jordan?!? Maybe Donte Greene?!? I go with Jordan because he could be a steal, and Ivaroni is supposed to be a big man coach! Of course, CDR would be awesome as well...Two first-team all-americans!

I wish they would quit saying that we were 9-27 without Pau. Yeah... and the Grizz were 13-35 with him.

Greene it is... Great pick... if CDR ends up in the 2nd rd the Grizz will make a play for him.

Good value pick on Donte Greene. He should develop, just won't help right away.

Greene....I think I would have rather taken a chance on the beast, Jordan, or the hometown hero, CDR!

Another Warrick that shoots 3's

Way to attract people to games. At Least CDR would have built interest.

The Grizz need to stop avaoiding the best team in the city.

I'm not too sold on Greene. Looks like we got the Syracuse Tweeners Part II.

Can they trade Greene for the 33 and 36? come on Portland... they have to make some more trades... they don't have enough roster spots.

Green is Hakim 'effing Warrick all over again. Wasted pick unless it's traded.

I agree that something has to give. Like you said, Portland doesn't have enough roster spots to keep every last pick and neither does Seattle with 6 of their own.

Bill Walker
JR Giddens
CDR
Nathan Jawai
DJ White
Jamont Gordon
DeAndre Jordan

Hell, Joey Dorsey

All players that would have served the Grizz much, much better than the wasted pick.

From Herrington:

"I'm hearing Greene is being moved (to Houston or Portland) and that Darrell Arthur is ending up in Memphis.

Sketchy reports so far, but something seems to be going on."
