Your ideal draft day?

Also, I think Darington Hobson will be a steal. A bit under the radar playing at UNM, but he's a player who does a little bit of everything. Chad Ford said he's been dominating other prospects during workouts.

Apparently, he has a promise from a team in the late first-round.

A 6'6.5" SF, reading articles and profiles, he sounds like a Udoka/Dudley type of player.

I think he'd be a good player for someone to pick up in late-1st early-2nd. He seems like a way-less athletic Turner. And that concerns me a bit. He doesn't do anything super-great, and doesn't necessarily have the athleticism to even dominate NCAA Tournament-level teams, much less NBA teams. I'd say more a homeless, toothless man's Grant Hill than someone who's built on D and 3's like Udoka, Dudley or Bowen

That said, if we don't get Turner at 2 or Pondexter at 22, I wouldn't mind at all getting him at 44. Or buying an early-2nd.

Davis seems alright, but you don't spend a top 10 pick on a Dale Davis, PJ Brown type. That's generally what the 2nd round is for)Landry, Blair, Millsap, etc.)

Dale was a late lotto pick, a longtime productive starter and even made an AS game. While he wasn't the GOAT or anything, his career at least rivals that of any 2nd round selection Portland has ever had... or, you're selling him short. Landry and Millsap were also tremendous selections and far from the norm of what you'd expect to pull there... do their respective drafts over and they're lotto picks

Trade all of our draft picks and make a trade to acquire Tony Parker.

Like Pryzbilla + Bayless + #22 + #44 for Parker.


I don't have a problem running with both Parker and Miller next year! This gives us an interesting trade potential at the 2011 Trade Deadline (moving Miller? as a possibility)

And through trade (Rudy or Webster) make a move to bring in a veteran banger.

And then go play some ball.



Parker / Miller / Koponen
Roy / Webster / Veteran Signee
Batum / Cunningham
LMA / Veteran Banger via trade of Rudy / Pendergraph
Camby / Howard / Oden

After all, even with massive injuries we managed to win 50. So tool / tweek and add Parker and with an injury-free year - we'll be solid. The ability to trade Miller at the deadline could bring us any missing piece to advance us within the playoffs...if need be, that is.
