That would be a fine draft I think. I'd be stoked if we got Leonard at #11. Not too sure about Waiters though.
 
Just give me someone who can fucking score the ball in crunch time. When I look at this draft I can see Beal, Lillard, and Waiters and Rivers with the potential.Big guys are useless in crunch time. And Although I like MKG I would pass on him for a scoring guard.

I still like Lillard for the reason that at the point he will be matched up against PG's and very few PG's are decent defensively (Westbrook one of those exceptions) The other guys will be matched up against tougher players. That is why I want a scoring PG. They have the handles, the quickness, the ability to finish, and stop and pop.

If Waiters can do it then fine , grab him. But I have decided I do not want a center at #6 or a PF or a SF. Get us a scoring guard!

Drummond continues to drop like a rock.

Sounds like the Warriors will pass on him if he's there at #7 and could either trade down or take Zeller, their "immediate help" that Jerry West wants.

Ya, I agree. However, as I said in my last post, if the blazers think they can get someone good at #6, and decent at #11, but great at#2 then they should make the deal

The only great player in discussion would be Harden; so I would only do this deal if we had assurance that OKC would trade us Harden for the pick.
 
I can't stomach that forum. They think they should get a top-5 pick for Kyle Lowry alone.

Insulting and arrogant.
 
They know the Blazers have him as their #1 target.

Neil has been talking to them for a while about trading up. But IMO it's the Cavs initiating these talks.

You want Waiters? Ok, we like him too, but if you give us the #6/#11 the #4 is yours.

You know this place will have up to the second updates.
 
Prediction: 24 hours from now, everyone on the board will be PISSED OFF.

I just went there and checked a few forums and their trade thread. If anyone thought Blazer fans overvalued their players they never met these rockets fan. Lowry+16th isn't just worth 6/11th we have to throw in a player half the time. There trade offers are worse then Lakersground its insane. All their players are all-star quality according to them with how they value them.
 
Speaking of CLE/POR scenarios...

I think it's odd that they all-of-a-sudden have a lot of interest in Waiters.

Yesterday the rushed a last minute second workout with Terrence Ross.

Anyone else sense a #6/11 for #4/#24?

Only if we get their second-rounders too.

I do like the depth we could generate through five picks between 24 & 41.

In fact I think the Blazers are still trying to trade their picks. If Oklahoma is interested in trading Harden for the #2; then I think Portland will offer the Charlotte #6 and #11 for the #2. (I think that Charlotte would then try to trade the #6 and #31 for the #5; if they couldn't do that then they might not make this trade)

If they can turn their draft picks into Lowry and Noah, I think they will do that.

I think they have considered going after Howard also, and possibly others not mentioned on the board.

I think Olshey thinks big and he doesn't see enough immediate return from the players available at #6 and #11. But I think he's also practical; if he can't make a trade; he will set a new course that involves building through the draft; hopefully in that case he can get another first round pick somehow.

I think all the talk of loving Lillard is only an attempt to give them better bargaining position in trade talks.
