Moving into the draft

[Mediocre Man]

That there isn't consensus #1 in this draft would be troubling to me if I owned the #1 pick. I'm not talking about an Oden/Durant situation, either. Wiggins is raw, athletic, and very frail. Could he be a great player? Sure, I suppose so. Is he going to go into a situation next year and suddenly be a key player on a title team. I'd bet $100 that won't be the case, if there are any takers.

Ya, that is a bit troubling, but I think there IS a clear cut #1

I don't know, but at least it would be a major move that doesn't blow up the nucleus of the team. The idea of winning a title is to improve your roster the next season, unless you can get lucky like the Celtics did and have a friendly GM hand you a Kevin Garnett.

Trading Nic and Rolo is bold for sure. Both are probably our best "glue" guys

There isn't a consensus #1... Because the top 3 are sooooo good.

I just want Andrew Wiggins on the Blazers.

The only way I trade Nic is if the Blazers could sign Deng.

Sarcasm, I assume?

Not remotely. Look I get that some people are cemented in the idea that no draft pick is ever good because they can't predict how they will pan out. There are times like last year though where there was no consensus because they were all ho-hum. This year is far and away different. There is no consensus #1, because the potential level of the top 3 guys is so high end. You can argue it all you want, there isn't a scout or GM in the league that would tell you that the top 3 don't have massive potential.
