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

well IMO ALL have flaws and it's a crapshoot, and one that is not worth taking, lets draft our 2 picks at 6 and 11 unless we get an offer we cannot refuse. IMO being the team that gets offers for picks from other teams that are in love with a player is the much smarter position to take

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.

Orlando said they are not wanting to rebuild, but reload. I agree with you though and would want my team to rebuild

I keep hearing Bradley Beal is a Ray Allen type shooter. He shot 34% from the college 3 - in 16 years Ray Allen has never shot 34% from 3

The Bulls have privately assured Luol Deng that there's "no chance" of a deal sending him to the Warriors, league source tells Y!

Just for giggles, anyone compare PJIII to Aldridge at their respective combines?

PJII first; Aldridge second

Height: 6'11.25"; 6'11.25"
Weight: 234; 234
Wing: 7'2"; 7'5"
Reach: 8'11"; 9'2"
jump: 33"; 26"
running jump: 39"; 34"
bench: 11; 8
agility: 11.31; 12.02
sprint: 3.19; 3.43
body fat: 4.6; 8.7 (wow)

So, compared to LMA, PJIII has shorter arms, is stronger, leaner, jumps much higher, is more agile, and runs the sprint much faster. This surprised me.

Doubt it RT @Bairdy1611: there is talk over at hoopsworld that Blazers are now potentially thinking of taking Rivers @ 6. Surely not

Why? PJ III is an athletic freak.

I think Rivers will be better than Lilliard. Both are big gambles though.

They are very different players. Lillard is a much more efficient scorer. I think Rivers has some really fantastic skills, but he's a loose canon right now with how he uses them. If he can get it under control he could be great. If not, he will be Monta Ellis with a larger black hole.

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.
Click to expand...

Yeah that was my first thought when I heard of them moving down to 4. I’d love for us to be guaranteed one of Robinson, Barnes, MKG.

Drummond would be great if this was the 2005 Blazers, but I don’t want to wait 4 years for him to develop when we have an all-star. Lillard is clearly in a tier below the top5 prospects so we should definitely move up if the price isn’t too steep.

I think this is all smoke to get Rivers up higher so more drops to Portland at 11.
 
Love Rivers Pedigree, but can't help but think he's ceiling is Jamal Crawford. Not that that's a bad thing, I just prefer players who can pass. B-Roy drove me crazy because he had the chance to be great at assisting, but never fully realized it.
 
Sports Biz Radio ‏@SBRadio
Houston Rockets reportedly offering Kyle Lowrie & #16 pick to TOR for #8 pick in NBA Draft. If I'm Portland, I do that deal for the #6 pick.


So would I

Agree on the Jamal Crawford comparison. A bit scary.

Could? Matthews and 11 would be something to look at. Batum and Deng on the wings would be long

Is Deng really worth it? He reminds me of another 3rd or 4th best player. I would rather take a flyer at 11 on someone with potential than take a guy with a big contract who has hit his ceiling and it is 3rd place.
