    All will be there at #6 except MKG.

    Interesting...

    I think Harrison is the only one who would be good at 6 (who might be available at 6).

    With their stocks rising we'd likely have to trade up from both spots.

    MKG/Leonard
    Barnes/Lillard

    Do you like Barnes? Why? Do you think he had more to offer than he showed last year?

    I really dont like the fact that 2 of the 4 play positions we already have an above average starter at. Still on the move up to draft Trobb all the way.

    Anyone else get the sense that if they do trade up it'll be for MKG and not T-Rob?

    But then again, smokescreens are abundant right now.

    MKG is much cheaper than Batum

    And will likely be a better player, too

    MKG and Batum can play 2 and 3 together just fine. Of course, makes us extremely dependant on PG play. I hate building that way. But, BPA.

    I get the sense that the team will not trade up or down and will pick at 6 and 11.

    I think they need to wait til the 11th pick to take the point guard. If they need to move up in fear of someone grabbing him. Then move up.

    I certainly don't understand the fascination with Meyers Leonard. Is it just that Portland needs a center, and there's a shortage of proven quality centers in this draft?

    That would be a mistake IMO.

    It's no secret, at least to the scouts Bucher talked to, that the next two drafts are going to be weak.

    Having two picks in a top-heavy draft is a nice tool to have and if you don't trade up for the better prospect, that's a mistake.

    One of T-Rob or MKG is better than the combo you'd likely get at #6/#11.

    you realize that same information is available to other teams, right?

    Why would a team trade out of his draft if next year (and the year after) will be weaker drafts?

    Yeah, but no other team has a better pick combo to offer the Bobcats, Wizards, Cavs.

    so the logic is that the Bobcats, #2 in the draft, will want 6 and 11 more than 2?

    so why wouldn't the Blazers want 6 and 11 if they're better than 2?
