OT: Baron Davis for Mo Williams

[Nikolokolus]

True - but have you looked at the Blazer bench recently? Rebuilding the bench may not be the #1 priority......but it needs to be done. After the Claver/Babbitt/Williams fiascos, even this draft looks pretty good.

I wasn't talking about the Blazers rationale, I was simply saying the Clippers actually made a pretty good deal by ridding themselves of a massive financial liability at the cost of a draft pick that probably wasn't going to do them much good and in return they actually got a serviceable point guard.

On the other hand the Blazers will certainly need to rebuild/reload, but IMO taking on that much salary for the privilege of a high pick in a bad draft just doesn't seem like much of a play. If they really want to move up in June, I'm guessing that their own pick bundled with New Orleans' pick (both likely to be in the mid to high teens) coupled with Miller's unguaranteed deal could probably get them into the late lottery or maybe even the top ten if they get lucky ... but I guess we'll find out.

This had to happen with Harden in the Western conference. No one wants to watch such a beard imbalance, honestly.
