Official 2008 NBA Draft Pritchslap Count

We all know how great KP is, and as I'm SUPER excited about what the next 42 hours or so will bring, I thought it best to begin an official tally logging, chronologically, every Pritchslap that occurs. I'm placing my over-under on 6 (and that's conservative, don't you think?).

So, here it goes:

  1. We just bought the 27th pick from New Orleans for cash considerations.

    People have speculated over the past two and a half hours that we're either trading it or keeping it. Seems like a logical limit of possibilities to me. If we were to keep it, there are three most likely new Blazers:

    1. Nicolas Batum
    2. Ante Tomic
    3. CD-R

    Personally, I've always thought of CD-R as THE dark horse of this draft and would like to see him on this team. I've heard Batum's name batted around, but I haven't done much "research" on either foreigner (e.g. typed their names in YouTube, or, you know, looked at their stats or something) so I can't comment on them.

  2. We just traded Jarret Jack and Brandon Rush to the Pacers for Ike Diogu and someone named Jerryd Bayless.

    More info coming once I calm down from the thought of the West Coast Assassin (you heard it here first, folks) running the show.

  3. We Hamburgled Batum from the Spurs' Eager Clutches

    I'm almost TOTALLY certain no one's ever employed the words "Hamburgled" and "Batum" in the same sentence - together, even!

I'm going to keep updating this and I'm sure there will be more, so in the meantime:
