Hey guys, Portland needed a center much more than they did another 2 guard when they had Clyde the Glyde. You don't pass on great talent.
They woulda been in a bind having Clyde and Jordan......they would of had to trade one eventually. They both were studs. The guy that Portland got was good. He just had the injuries and never could get back into the same shape he was in. Portland did the right thing. It worked out for each team anyway. Both teams went on to compete hard for championships and that's all you can ask.
Bayless, Love, Mayo, Rose, and even Lopez have the potential to become all-stars in the future. Anybody remember Ed O'Bannon? He was supposed to be awesome but what happened to him? Eddie Griffith, Scottie Thurman from the razorback days? Tyus Edney? I can run down the list of awesome players that should be house hold names but just disappeared off the face of the american basketball scene.
I say teams should do them. Don't pick a player just because you want an asset to pawn and you wanna screw other teams......that's ****ed up.
Its hard to expect Beasley to fall all the way to #6.....but take a look at the history of the league. Teams have past on some of the Greatest players in NBA history for bums like John Koncak. They were bums in college yet they still were picked in lottery range.
