Best PG/SGs coming in the draft?

Agreed. Both are similar physically albeit at different positions, but I think Lamb has shown a higher skill level.

It's gonna be interesting what happens with the sg position if they just happen to draft either Beal of Lamb. Do they get rid of Williams or Matthews?

 

I don't want Lamb. He's the one guy that could be drafted potentially top 10 that I wouldn't be happy about us drafting.

 

Marquis Teague PGOTF?

discuss, this kid has talent and apparently will likely declare, early projection could be 18 pick, sign Nash and trade our later pick for a pick to get him and an asset?

 

I would love the Blazers to select him with a pick they bought in the late teens or early 20's

 

Jared Cunningham!

 

I say we go after winners instead

 

I am still intrigued, in relation to the high ceiling discussion, in Wroten.
Wondering if we can have an agreed upon at the draft trade to move Shawne Williams and the rights to Austin Rivers picked at 11 to Boston for Wroten picked at 20. Executed after moratorium.

 

So we would be trading a higher lottery pick and a player for a lower pick?

 

yeah, dumping Williams' contract, to create more space in free agency. Obviously depends on who else has fallen to 11. Probably not all that worthwhile, since we can stretch Williams, and shave money off his cap hit, but there's a difference of close to a million in the 11 and 20 picks, and then either the million from stretch, or 3 million from Shawne's, so a saving of 2-4 million for free agency. Obviously depends on who we nabbed with NJ's pick as well.

 

Might it be better to stretch him instead and keep the lottery talent? Then buy a pick down in the late teens to 20's?

 

Might be, depending on how their rankings broke down. Though buying a pick would take up the 3 million amount allowed per year. And, if we stretched him, kept our pick at 11, AND bought a pick lower, that'd be likely a 4 million or so cap hit.
All depends on who's left on the board, I suppose. Wroten's high ceiling is intriguing, and his bust potential likely keeps him lower than his talent deserves. He might not be a "true" PG, but I've never been a big supporter of building a team around the PG position. And I'd love the length of a 6'5" PG in Wroten, and Batum at 6'8" at SG. If were able to find a scoring SF and a defensive big.

 

I would HATE that move.

Trading down in this deep draft just to shed a small contract is asinine.

But with Chad Buchanan/Larry Miller running things it wouldn't surprise me.

 

David Aldridge ranks the shooting guards, and earlier the point guards.

 

Deron Lamb equals steal IMO

 

Hater!

 

Haha

If he can play, he can play.
