Richman is trying to create value about OG so fans try to act like we are contenders after trading #7 and Hart for him.

Richman wants to keep the pick...he says so all the time but has to have fan content so he goes through the motions but he wants to draft talent and wait to be a contender until 2 seasons from now.
 
I like John Collins and would be happy to have him on the Blazers.

That being said, having to trade for him annoys me. I wanted the Blazers to draft him years ago, but we all know how that worked out…
 
Combining a couple of rumors, does anyone think the Raps would have interest in in Lu Dort, #12, and a future pick from OKC rather than the #7 this year?

If so, it seems like there's a three-way opportunity, with Portland sending #7 to OKC, Anunoby to Portland, and Dort/#12/a future pick to Toronto. They'd clear cap space, get a pick this year, and get a serviceable starter at 2 to put Gary on the bench where he probably belongs. Plus they'd replace the point of attack defender that they lose in Anunoby.

Anunoby dropped in the draft thanks to a knee injury, allowing the Raptors to nab him at No. 23 overall.

He's had a few injuries since then.
Should the Raptors be worried about OG Anunoby’s injury history? (3 months ago)

I'd be pretty freaking caustious if Majeri is offering a player to us in trades. He is a great GM. Not the type you want to trade with.
 
Not related to the 7th pick, but I’d take a swing at reddish

If I’m being honest, I would’ve much rather kept Gary than bring in Dort.

Is Thbulle's 4 million dollar salary really that much that Philly is desperate to trade him?
It seems odd they would essentially pay to get rid of him. I like him but maybe his lack of outside shooting and rebounding
is an issue. He does not sound like the 2-way player that we need.

Woj: “If you’re a GM in the NBA and Daryl Morey hasn’t called and offered you #23 and Matisse Thybulle for someone on your roster, you probably have had your phone shut off.
 
Would be weird to move up for Murray if we didn’t even bring him in for a workout.

team met with him at the combine. There is so much film on him that there's nothing to be gained from the hoops perspective. And his character/mindset is crystal clear, so no psych eval needed. He's kinda like the complete opposite of Sharpe in many ways.
 
The day of the draft in 2006, we held the #7 pick (acquired from the Telfair trade). KP (and Patternash, ugh) duped Minnesota into flipping the #6 pick back to Portland for just cash.

We got Brandon Roy with #6.
Minnesota got Randy Foye with #7.

I think it will take a bit more than cash to get up to 7 these days, especially considering KP is now the guy with #6.

Am I the only weird one who like this sorta symmetry?

I really like Murray, but I'm not willing to overpay to move up and get him. I'd rather take Sharpe if he's there at 7.

Yeah, Murray is probably the better fit and will probably make a more immediate impact but this could go down as Antawn Jamison v. Vince Carter.

Sharpe no doubt projects to be a better player in this league with an infinitely higher ceiling.

Sharpe's trainer says he's far more developed than Shai who he also trained. I think it's overblown that he can't play soon.

Take Murray with #5, and then we're suddenly loaded with wings, and ton of versatility with different skillsets.

A wing rotation of Hart/Nas/Grant/Murray/Thybulle is reeaaally intriguing.

i don't see the parallels. Both Jamison and Carter played 100+ games in college on the same team. Especially the Sharpe-Carter comp.

The absolute floor for Carter coming out of college was a starting caliber wing, with the upside of MJ. Sharpe's a lot more of an unknown.

We're not talking about experience, we're talking about ceiling and position. Jay Bilas just said Sharpe would be competing for the #1 pick in next year's draft if he would have stayed. It's true that there is less info on Sharpe, but every scout gives him their stamp of approval.

i'm referring more to the risk involved in taking Sharpe. The risk for Toronto was minimal in comparison when they moved Jamison to GS for Carter. If we were to swap 7 for 6 to take Murray, the risk for Indiana would be pretty big.

I wouldn’t necessarily trust that trainer because I suspect that’s the guy that was in his ear while he was at Kentucky. The word was that Sharpe wanted to play and he was advised by his trainer to not play.

I think Murray is arguably a bigger risk. Can't create. High usage in college. Significantly older than his counterparts.

He has all the hallmarks of a good college player who doesn't translate at the NBA level. On the flip side, yes there is less tape, but the consensus is that Sharpe has the highest ceiling in the draft along with Chet.

If I'm trying to hit a home run and get a franchise player, Sharpe is the better prospect.
 
This is exactly how I wanted this to happen find a guy or two in draft that absolutely blows your socks off. If hes there you keep him if not you trade the pick. I also feel more confident with our new hires helping make that call we have the right guys in place for the drat analysis

I agree. No different than a coach telling teams his player was the best. Could be a favor. Or it could be true. But I'd rather the trainer say that than not say it at all. Shai turned out really good.
