Pritchard: 'I won't trade the pick' Pritchard: 'I won't trade the pick' Posted by Jason Quick May 23, 2007 05:47AM Wow. The list of the greatest moments in Trail Blazers history just got some company. The No. 1 pick the year that Greg Oden and Kevin Durant enter the draft? It's gotta go behind the 1977 championship, but after that ... the Finals appearances of the '90s may be in the running for second, but this has to be up there. On his way back to his New York hotel, Blazers general manager Kevin Pritchard was beside himself. There was some excited cussing, but also a calm professionalism. There is nothing Pritchard is more confident of than his ability to evaluate players. He boasts about his scouts (Chad Buchanan, Michael Born and Jason Filippi), and he religiously references his computer database, complete with quantitative analysis and simulators. "I'm going to make a decision that is not easy,'' Pritchard said. "But it will be a good decision for this franchise.'' One of the decisions has already been made. Pritchard said he will not trade the top pick. "I can't see us trading this pick,'' Pritchard said. "This is a very top-heavy draft and we feel like there is an unbelievable difference maker. They don't come around. As we move our timeline with Brandon (Roy) and LaMarcus (Aldridge) and a young team, we feel like his player will really be a benefit to that.'' http://tinyurl.com/ypt3rd Pritchard:我不會交易狀元籤！ 幹的好啊Pritchard！ 有狀元感覺還是不一樣XD （尤其是今年的） --
