Draft strategy: Get Washington's pick!

[Rastapopoulos]

For the next few seasons, yes...but a team like OKC may worry that Przybilla will be exiting his prime just as Durant and Westbrook are entering theirs.

Okay - so we throw in the rights to Freeland. After all, he's another guy who looks great according to the stats (leading the ACB in PER, FWIW)...

I think they would trade Jamison if they got young CHEAP talent in return.

I don't think they would, they have repeatedly said they want to see what thier core 3 players can do when healthy....I think they are insane, but I have read\heard numerous reports reiterating the same thing...

Now I am sure if they received a tremendous offer then they would trade jamison, but I don't see POR overpaying to get a guy like Jamison....

Young talent for bad contracts and #5 seems to be the going rate, and I think POR should seriously consider it...

The Problem is you have to have a follow up deal with OKC or better yet Memphis to get the #2. If we got stuck with #5 and Rubio was gone that trade would look awful. You have to vault up again and be dead certain you get Rubio. That's why this whole thing seems unlikely. Perhaps a three way trade where Memphis ends up with Jamison + picks or someone like Frye, Sergio + #5 for their #2? I don't know. I love the idea of Rubio but you then have to get a vet PG to play in front of him or Nate might explode and take out half of the greater Portland Metro Area. I think that is a real concern and I'm having my wife lay in a bathtub with the baby until I can confirm KP isn't loading us up with more young talent on Thursday.

P.S. I want Rubio even if our starting PG has to be Bayless, Roy or Rudy. We'll rebuild after Nate explodes...
