I remember Lillard was very impressive at the combine and Coward has also turned heads there this year. Williams did a couple years ago too.
 
I want Ace Bailey or Rasheer Fleming. I know Ace says he wont play but millions have a way of motivating people and he’s young and full of bravado. If you can move up a few picks and take him he’s our best shot at a potential allstar.

At 11 its always likely to be a swing and a miss (although SGA was taken at 11) and I’m willing to risk his bad attitude given his insane talent, skills, size and athleticism.
 
Queen would piss me off. I like a lot of guys that will be around at 11 besides him. I still think we are picking for someone else and that there is some deal with pick 11 and who knows what else that makes the Jrue deal make more sense but Joe has made deals that make no sense, promised to balance the roster during the season and done nothing at the deadline before so I'm not holding my breath. We'll just take it as it comes I guess.
 
I predict two boring boring days. Only one pick, no trades; Essengue will not be available, so I won't be very excited by who we get.. No second round pick.

Second round picks are tomorrow so are you predicting two boring days? I think we're going to make a trade today and the 11th pick will belong to another team, just a hunch.

I know that we all got surprised by the Deni trade last year but I just don't see that happening twice. I don't think anyone has come up with a trade for a really good player that is feasible.
 
Although, if we really don't like anyone who is available at 11, I can see us trading down and trying to get an extra pick,

Without giving up #11, I'd be interested to see what OKC wants for Topic. They already have plenty of guards, so I don't know where he gets minutes. Without knowing salaries, I'd be willing to offer some combination of Jabari, Murray, Rupert or Reath.

While I think OKC would consider moving Topic - they used the #12 pick on him last year after the injury knowing he would sit out that year. None of those 4 Blazers even have end of the first round value let alone lottery pick value.

I think we'd have to give them a future pick with few protections or some pretty nice asset. Would you give up #11 for Topic? I wouldn't but that is likely closer to the value needed. Maybe being a weaker draft last year Topic has quite a bit less value than this years #11. Still would imagine he's at least mid first round value for this draft.

Other issue is I'm not really seeing a possible Topic role either with Jrue+Scoot here. If lets say we trade Scoot and Grant for a star I could see bringing in Topic to backup Jrue/Sharpe though.
 
If we stay at #11 i want in this order:
1. Jackucionis
2. Demin
3. Coward

One of the three will be here.
 
Still hoping we see a trade and they are just waiting for Draft to make a splash.
 
I am going to make a tier list with maybe a short blurb --- I am going by fit and what they bring -- I think this team needs shooting , creator , solid 3 point shooter and of course play solid or better D and might be ready within 2 to 3 seasons. Also only doing prospects that COULD be there so no Ace Bailey's etc and assuming they stay at 11

A tier

Carter
Coward
Nique Clifford

B Tier

Jakucionis
Queen -- ONLY if there is Trade to get rid of Ayton

The REST

Noa Essengue - Gamble to high
Demin -- He is the best of this list BUT something makes me not want him cannot put finger on it.
Boyles - One trick pony -- D and that's about it


 
Can Holiday be traded immediately with a draft pick? ( I read he cannot be traded with another player for 60 days.)
