    CLE seems hellbent on pairing Barnes with Kyrie, so MKG will most definitely drop. Just curious what SAC will do.

    Joe Freeman: One more #Blazers player has arrived to the gym: Luke Babbitt. Solid 2-on-2 possibility with Williams, Matthews, Johnson and Babbitt.

    No, still don't like that one. We're still taking Drummond. Do it again, Givony.

    Would S&T Batum to GS for #7 and Richard Jefferson a deal you would do? Would GS?

    Our team could look like this

    Lillard
    Matthews
    Jefferson
    Aldridge
    Drummond

    #11
    Babbitt
    Smith
    Williams

    Austin Rivers has worked out for #Blazers, Toronto, Washington and NO. Said he will leave for Cleveland on Thursday to do one more workout.

    Not really, but it depends. If someone were to overspend on Batum and his price went to high, then yes, only to get the 7th pick. You could walk away with Drummond, Lillard and Lamb/Henson/Waiters/Leonard.

    But, I would rather have a reasonably resigned Batum. Even though he doesn't have the killer instinct I would like, Batum can guard anyone, hit the three very well, moves the ball well, and is a good team guy.

    If I were GS I would do it in a heartbeat because they get a proven young prospect without much mystery, but still with a lot of upside. And they rid of Jefferson.

    Memphis' Will Barton could wind up just like Josh Howard in 2003. Great college player that wasn't taken til late in RD 1. Productive pro.
