    I would gladly scoop up MKG, even with the concerns about his outside shooting....Everything else about him is very good IMO...Defensively, hustle, leadership....Also, youngest player in the draft....

    I think there is a chance he could slip....

    I really think there is a good chance that there is going to be 2 of Robinson, Beal, Barnes, MKG, Drummond sitting there for POR to choose from....

    Blaze, IMO it's the "way" you state your "opinion" that bothers many here and I can see why that is the case - just my opinion

    wasn't about the last post, just the tone of some of your others, I don't have any beef with you but at times you do come across as pretty arrogant

    Besides Oden? Thats an interesting question.

    Edit: Joe Alexander is a good answer. Good catch guys - I had completely forgotten him!

    DeJuan Blair slipped many places and ended up still good.

    question, havent kept up with all the pages of this thread lol.

    would you be happy with a draft of Drummond and Marshall, and then using capspace to sign Eric Gordon, and Re-sign Batum? would that even be plausible?

    I'd be very happy with that outcome, personally.

    Marshall/Gordon/Batum/Aldridge/Drummond
    Vet PG/Wes/Babbitt/Hickson/Freeland
    Nolan/Elliot Williams/Przybilla/Claver/40 or 41

    that lineup does intrigue me I admit. But is it even plausible? Not sure what the going rate on a RFA like Gordon is, and if NOLA would match... etc etc

    Probably not plausable because Gordon would take more than the 12.5 million in cap space we have

    Was trying to reaad up on that. I remembered it worse than it really seemed. He felt lied to, but he mentioned Olshey and VDN. And I'm sure that's tough for a player. But if the guy that lied to you about being traded comes up to you and says here's a near max offer.....are you going to say no for less money? I think it would smooth it over pretty easily.
    Also read somewhere that initially, Olshey didn't want to include Gordon in a deal for Paul, because he was sure he'd become an All Star. Maybe that means he likes him a lot, and will target him in free agency.
    I imagine N.O. would likely match any reasonable offers. Maybe some front loaded deal makes benson hesitate? I dunno what sort of NBA owner he will be. It's otherwise possible. I can see Drummond there for us at 6. Marshall should definitely be there at 11. Matching on Batum is easy. So you just look at a deal to gordon, and whether they want to commit big money to him, versus maybe their ability to get a SG at 10 in the draft(Waiters or Ribvers or Lamb)

    If the league wins the bird-rights hearing, won't we be at 18M?

    I keep forgetting about Hickson's cap hold.

    So he has us at 12.35. I would think there'd be a good chance of us stretch waiving Shawne, having his salary go down to 1 a year, but then a roster chaarge of close to 500,000, so that gives us an additional 1.6 roughly, up to14 in space. Let's say it is 13.5. That's a 4 year, 57.6 offer to him. Possible they match.

    We can get to 17 by renouncing all FA's (minus Batum), Freeland and Claver or renouncing all FA's (minus Batum) and getting stretching Williams

    if we're at 12.35, and he has a 4.5 hold for Hickson, then just waiving him and williams gets us over 17.
