To Pick or Not To Pick.

I just watched the video of Joe Alexander's workout on Blazers.com. He gave the most UNDERWHELMING interview I have ever seen. But, maybe that's what we need, although I am dying for someone on the team that will stir the pot every once in a while, or at least give us hope that he might be stirring the pot sometime in the near future, I realize that we got a good thing going, and we should keep going with it. But really, who can resist getting a guy with some attitude to beat some people up?! I know I can't. Maybe we should look into trading for Kenyon Martin...I digress.

Ty, nice post from MANZANITA?! I'm surprised there was even a TV there. And yes, it was the best thing that ever happened to me down here to have the Lakers NOT win. Incredible. And by such a close margin in the end...Heartwarming really.

I have been buried in the EuroCup 2008 for the last two weeks. I love country versus country soccer. Especially when the countries have been at war with one another in the past. If you score a winning goal in the EuroCup, you are a hero in your country. Not just on your team, or in your little city, but in your whole country. I could care less about watching club soccer, but this stuff is the shit. Excuse my language. I can't wait till Germany (my team and country!) plays Turkey on Wednesday, I might just rent me a German whore and a stein of beer and settle on in for the game! Minus the whore.

But this isn't what this meaningless entry is about. It really is about Joe Alexander and how I hope to God we don't draft another rookie, unless his name is Michael Beasley. I heard a rumor about trading Martell Webster and the pick for Barbosa. It's intriguing, but I don't know what that guy can bring to the team more than just shooting every single time he touches the ball. He has incredible speed, but he can't play point. He can stretch the D, but he can't play D. I would much rather trade a good player like that and the pick for a point, or Michael Beasley. OR! Maybe we can swing a trade for Rasheed and give him one last go around before he retires? Eh? Whose with me?I know, that's about as good an idea as it was for all the Russians in the crowd against the Dutch to take their shirts off in the second half.

What does everyone else think? Keep the pick and get someone like Alexander, or trade? Hopefully everyone says trade, or else bad things will happen to your mailboxes.
