    I think it may be possible to get Collins.....without the #7.

    That would be amazing. I don't buy the SAC nonsense. He's a terrible fit next to Sabonis-- think that's just a smokescreen from ATL.

    Is this just conjecture?

    OK certainly willing to entertain that idea, got any best guesses on the how? Does it involve a trade down idea or adding current POR players?

    Collins and Sochan (or Daniels) would be an acceptable outcome IMO.

    I’d rather have OG and Sochan/Daniels.

    Don’t see how it happens but would be intriguing.

    Brian Windhorst just mentioned on NBA today that the 7 for Grant deal isn’t likely and that we’re targeting Sharpe with our pick.

    good I think you can find a Grant type player at 7 and not have to pay him excessive amount. To me Grant is to similar to Roco neither is great on ball defender more of team defenders. Grant obviously has better offense but it’s inflated from playing on bad team

    Yeah Grant might be better than Roco, but he will also cost much more salary, so I don't know that he is any more valuable to a team than Roco.

    The #7 pick has the chance to provide great on the court play, but at a tiny salary so the Blazers can also add another starter or key backup.

    Seriously hope both Dyson Daniels and Shaedon Sharpe are available at 7, for trade value purposes. I just don't see teams trading up for Ben Mathurin or anyone else that could be there.

    One of those dudes has to be there.

    1. Jabari
    2. Chet
    3. Paolo
    4. Ivey
    5. Murray

    Those five guys are gonna be gone by the time 6 rolls around. I will completely shocked if Ivey and Murray to drop 6th or 7th.

    That's a good fit for him. Him and Hali should complement each other pretty well. More on ball opportunities early too.

    I'm saying it is good for value if BOTH are there. Because teams will be bidding up to try and nab one of them.

    They still are only 24 and I think most would describe them as "very good", I was understating a little bit.

    That is something that I don't think I have seen mentioned when comparing a draft pick versus trading the pick for a player.

    Both. One of my Draft Party data/cap nerds texted the basics and told me they'd go over it in more detail later. IIRC, we ended up with Duren, Kuzma and Collins. It did cost us the #7, Hart, and some other pieces.

    What other assets would have to go out? Little? I can't see how that would be possible.

    I was going to bring up something along the lines of 7 for Kuz and 10 seems good value. Add in 10 and Hart for Collins and that seems plausible. Need filler like EBEC. Would also explain the interest in Dalen Terry who would be redundant with Hart.

    I really think Atl would want Hart as a very good compliment to Trae.
