nice article, did U get to see him play much? I have not

Never seen him in person. This being big 12-2+1? territory, I saw him a bunch on tv. His talent is ridiculous. His head is less than desirable, and I'm not sure he is getting the right advice from his agent.

I had a chance to talk to him once here for a basketball camp. I told him he could be Shawn Kemp if he decided to play in the post, and he said "I am a three, not a 4"

So, he is dead to me

I like Harkless but PJlll? The guy has been bombing his workouts and he wants nothing to do with the PF position. He's a SF who can't shoot.

PS.

I still wouldn't do that deal.

You're probably right. Maybe T Jones would be better, or even a reach for Nicholson.

From the Kyler article:

Duke’s Austin Rivers seems to be one of the players on a meteoric rise, possibly as high as #6 to Portland.

Apparently new Blazers’ GM Neil Olshey believes Rivers could be a real star level guy in the NBA and the Blazers have been debating the merits of taking him with the #6 and drafting the best available center at #11. The problem is the Blazers would be passing on UCONN big man Andre Drummond who most believe will be there at #6 and might be too much of an upside talent to pass on.

Common sense says go with Drummond, but Olshey has always been willing to take risks. If Paul Allen and the Blazers buy- in don’t be shocked to see Rivers go #6 because there is almost no chance he’ll be there at #11 as New Orleans is said to covet him with the #10.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!

Anything rather than this! I'd take Bayless back instead! The idea is actually to get a BETTER player than a broken down old Gerald Wallace. Is Olshey trying to make the Nets feel good about this trade?

[Note to self: stay calm. So far Olshey has been reportedly "in love" with at least five different players.
Response from self: but he likes flashy players! He gave a huge extension to DeAndre Jordan! He drafted Eric Bledsoe whose major talent is jumping high and committing turnovers!
Response to the response: shit, you're right! Panic!]

if they get Howard they would not even be a big 3 team, Howard and Dragic and Scola is there "big 3" with little depth? I don't know, I don't see them winning anything and would Dwight?

Here is the radio heads scuttlebutt down here

Trade Lowry and #14 to Sac for #5

Trade Parsons and #16 to Toronto for #8

Trade #8, Scola, Martin, Dalembert and Patterson to Orlando for Howard

Draft Robinson at #5

Gives them

Dragic
Robinson
Howard

as big 3. Some speculate they would be able to convince Williams to come here instead of re-signing Dragic.

Flaws all over the place in this scenario, but it's what is being talked about

Sir, please step away from the ledge.


I would be disappointed with this as well


I have said in several posts though, that Olshey likes guys rated really high coming out of high school. Just sayin

Seems like a pretty crappy package for Orlando, IMO. I wouldn't want Scola and Martin if I were rebuilding. I would want that 5th pick.
 
I know you were just passing along what they are thinking. Not saying it was your scenario that is bad. But, does seem typical of sports talk stuff, we've seen similar deals come out of here for Paul.

Roll the Dice Neil!!! These are my picks, go big or go home:

Drummond/PJIII or Lillard at #11

"When God made basketball bodies, he made almost the perfect power forward body in Perry Jones," Fraschilla said. "There's not another player outside of Andre Drummond who has the kind of freakish athletic ability and body type that Perry Jones has. So I think his bread will be buttered by him being in the lane.

If Charlotte isn't sold on any of the guys,a nd looking for assets, swapping 2 for 4 and 24, and then 4 for 6 and loosened protection on our pick next year? from lotto to top 6 or something, to get us to 4.

If Char isn't sold frankly why should we be? I mean ALL of the 2-6 guys or 2-5 guys IMO have question marks. I say lets take whoever falls to us unless a very good offer entices us to do otherwise

If Charlotte is really letting Cho run things, then him trading down to 4 and picking up additional assets, while still landing the guy with the highest PAWS score at 4 makes sense

no argument, I just don't want the Blazers to be the team that trades up to #2 and gives up 6 and 11, IMO that is not worth it

Ya, that's a tough call. If the Blazers are flat out sold on Robinson or Beal, it might be worth it though?
 
Perry is a lucky name.

My favorite cousin is named Perry.

The Prop 8 trial was Perry v Schwartzenegger; Perry won (although decision on hold)

Definitely, draft Perry Jones. He's good luck.
 
I don't think it is either. But going from 6 to 2, and removing a lot of protection on the pick is something I'd do. Maybe you go 6 and loosened protection(unprotected?) for 2, and then 11 and Matthews for 5 and salmons.
Picks 2 and 5. You can go Beal and potentially Robinson at 5?

Lillard likely won't be there, but there is a chance. There has been a lot of talk about the Hornets taking him, but lately, there has been just as much about them wanting Rivers. Also, Waiters rise could push Lillard down.

I wouldn't be opposed that draft, but you could end up empty handed. My main concern is that you still don't have a leader out of that group (if you go PJIII). I think this team could use one or two motor/tough guys.

If you take Drummond or PJIII, I would like to see that balanced somehow with a Robinson or Sullinger (or Waiters?) somewhere.
