I can see if Drummond is really their guy, or if Barnes slips to #6, taking one of them and dealing #11 for a guy like Lowry. I know many aren't fans, but this team could do a lot worse for a PG than him, IMO

He may not be the level of PG some people but I can only imagine how good he would look compared Failton last year

The question is what point in the game are you at? Is a sacrifice fly good enough, or are you willing to take the lower odds and try for a home run. (and I hate baseball).

Is Lowry better than the potential of what Lillard could be in a few years?

IMO, its like saying you wouldn't want prime Rasheed Wallace on your squad.

I can see where you would think that, but in my mind the comparison is not valid. Sheed was all around a great player. He had little weaknesses in his game. And his teammates loved him. (For the most part)

Evans may have been brooding last year because they played him out of position, but what is his position? I know he was the rookie of the year, but he seems to be a role player to me who thinks he is a star. That won't end well.

This is the gamble right? Lillard's ceiling is higher, and his floor is lower. Lowry is a relatively known commodity. Where the team is now, is it better to take the chance, or take a player who is 80% of the ceiling?

In this draft I would go for Lillard, just because I don't like the way Lowry played this out in the media. That drops his value to me.
 
At this point if you could trade 11 for 16, 18 or 20, 21 and have kendall marshall and moultrie or sullinger available, would you do it?
 
Rivers models his off court behavior on Kobe Bryant? Does that include raping waitresses, having numerous affairs and trying to introduce his mistress to his children? Oi vey

I don't think so, but what I am saying is if the Blazers view Drummond and or Barnes ahead of Lillard, and one of them is there, dealing #11 for Lowry might be a good trade?

Source involved in Houston-Kings talks says the Rockets have not offered the No. 14, No. 16 pick and Kyle Lowry for Tyreke Evans and No. 5.

IMO Lowry and Evans a wash, 14 and 16 not enuf for 5, wee see

At this point, I probably would. The way this is shaping up, the guys drafted at 16&18 could be as good as the guy drafted at #6! If there is no difference in quality - then go for quantity.

I think you'd have to consider the draft a success if you ended up with Dummond #6, Marshall#14, White, PJ III, Moultrie, Jones or Harkless at #16....wouldn't you?
 
i would do 11 for 16 and 18 most likely.

Definitely. If you can get someone at 6, then move down from 11 to nab any two of the joneses, marshall, zeller, moultrie, harkless, ross, sullinger, leonard id probably do it.

Freudian slip?

I don't mind HOU moving up to 5 if they're taking Drummond, Lillard or anyone else who leaves MKG and/or Robinson available.
I'd much rather have 14 and 16 or 14 and 18 than 11 alone, but I haven't seen that as something available.

No slip. I like Drummond. If he is there at #6, I hope we gamble on him and then move up a couple spots from #11 to get Lillard
 
Its looking like two of.those guys fall to 20, 21. So if rivers is there at 11, does boston want him?

I don't think they do. At least Doc. Not sure he would want to coach his son in that way. Maybe if it were a FA signing or something, but not a top lottery type pick

FWIW: Multiple sources shooting down Rockets-Kings talk about Lowry + picks for Tyreke + No. 5. But Rockets are interested in No. 5.
 
Sports Biz Radio ‏@SBRadio
80% of listeners yesterday said no to a Lowry + #16 for Blazers #6 pick. Blazers fans: Would you trade the #6 pick for Sac's Tyreke Evans?
 
No, but thanks for asking. SAC fans: Would you take Wes Matthews for the #5?
 
Looking more and more like Portland will have multiple firsts with Freeland and Claver coming over Trade fodder?

Olshey's definitely doing a good job of amassing pieces. He's calling in all the puzzle pieces he can to PDX, seeing if they fit, and will trade them if they don't. Smart moves to get a real accounting of our assets.
