    Two threads made at the same time -- one says we're looking to get into the top of the lottery. The other we're moving the pick for future considerations for more FA money.
    Looks like no one knows what the hell is going on. And I love it.

    I just don't see NO trading Paul unless they're getting some SERIOUS star power in return.

    Sounds like some pretty aggressive due diligence on KP's part...

    I would seriously write KP into my will if he brought CP to Portland. Sorry wife, but I have my priorities.

    Yeah, but what would it cost us to land CP?

    As much as I would love to have CP3 on our team, I agree that NO will not trade him. Why would you trade the best PG (a position so hard to get great players) in the league?...money aside, I doubt it will happen.

    Fun to think about though.

    Dwight might be getting senile.

    What if we traded LaMarcus Aldridge, Joel Pryzbilla, Jerryd Bayless, Rudy Fernandez, Steve Blake, Travis Outlaw, Martell Webster, Nicolas Batum and the rights to Petteri Koponen?

    Senile is when you start forgetting shit, suggesting somehow that Stephen Curry or some other player can replace a transcendent talent like Paul is called "bat shit crazy"

    Besides contracts not even being close to matching up, off-hand I'd say we'd be so depleted of depth/talent we'd look more like this year's Hornets than anything else.

    Paul/Sergio
    Roy/?
    ?/?
    Channing/?
    Oden/?

    Tell me that doesn't look like a 35 win team.
