Pick and Scroll

Thursday, May 20, 2010 at 10:24AM Your daily (Mon-Fri) roundup of links from around the blogosphere, typically Trail Blazers related.
• Dave Deckard of BlazersEdge reviews Dante Cunningham’s season. I’ll give you my take right quick: Dante is an excellent value and a great ninth or tenth man. He plays hard, hits shots, and hustles on defense. I don’t see “CunningJam” being moved unless his contract is absolutely necessary to getting a deal done.
• Continuing OregonLive’s “You be the GM” series, Coup from Rip City Project does an excellent job of making a case for keeping Greg Oden.
• Speaking of Oden, Henry Abbot took a break from striking fear in the hearts of baby fowl to interview Oden in a two part series. Here is part One and Two.
• This offseason, I hope Oden is watching Dwight Howard in the playoffs. Maybe he will notice how effective it is when you stop gathering and just dunk.
• Trail Blazers strength coach Bobby Medina talks Oden, Przybilla, and the draft on Wheels at Work.
• The coaching poaching continues as the Atlanta Hawks interview Dean Demopolous. Look, Atlanta, Dean has Richard Gere-esque hair, a full set of eyebrows, and not even a hint of a goatee. He’s not your type.
• Alone in the Corner is taking a closer look at Tim Donaghy’s more questionable calls.
• You want mock drafts? We’ve got ‘em! BlazersEdge Mock draft page, Mike Rice’s mock draft, and Rip City Project’s mock and explanations.
• DraftExpress updates the file on a few guard prospects.
• I’m skipping the draft prospect evaluation because I love feeding the rampant speculation that Portland might move up in the draft and I need some time to choreograph the mental gymnastics it would take to figure out how picking Derrick Favors or DeMarcus Cousins would work, besides picking the latter giving Portland a “Marcus,” “LaMarcus,” and “DeMarcus.”

Notice that the Chinese know how to do a stimulus package, while no one in power seems to know how to do a stimulus package here in the US.
