    Blazers GM Neil Olshey on Thomas Robinson: "He has the potential to be one of the best young power forwards in the league."

    I just wish the blazers GM and Morey knew as much as Carl.... :rolleyes:

    Ha

    It's a shame we had to trade T-Rob, but let's move on, shall we?

    Simulated on nba2k13 association and T-Rob has a legit 90 rating after 4 years. Superstar.

    They're you have it!

    NBA2K has foreseen it all.

    But really, I see this guy being a good overall player in the league if he doesn't become an all-star. It's not like he's completely unskilled and has no place in the league.

    I only wish we could have traded him to the East instead of Portland.

    well one thing you dont do is OVER sale someone that you do not have much faith in...because your fans will think you are a moron.

    Not to mention Portland is one of the better organizations as far as scouting.

    Did they ever specify what years the 2nd round draft picks were?

    Chad Ford said that he was told that Robinson can't remember plays. Kind of a big deal if you want to NBA.

    Well, that means he was perfect for Houston. Remember, we don't have "plays", per coach McHale.

    We never had time to create and practice playbook with the Harden-led squad. We will probably have some actual plays next season.
