This is better than a soap opera... http://www.cbssports.com/nba/blog/k...ockpiling-picks-in-bid-to-draft-in-the-top-10
One thing I like about Lillard: He seems smart. There are other things of course, but his intelligence and professional demeanor really stand out in his interviews.
Probasketballdraft If Houston fails to trade for 5 and settles on taking Andre Drummond don't be surprised to see the Rockets trade with Golden State. The Warriors if they were to move down could take Terrence Ross or another wing.
Why would the leapfrog Portland then? It's almost 100% given that the Blazers want Lillard over Drummond... They should acquire the 7th or 8th (before Pistons) if they want Drummond, which would be cheaper than 5.
Pretty much every executive out there is positive we want Lillard, Waiters, or Rivers w/99% of them thinking Lillard is our choice at this point. Hard to believe Houston is the sole team that thinks we want Drummond. Although I will say, this team needs leadership, maturity and hardwork more than it needs Drummond. If we had some sort of leadership, I'd love Drummond. Only way I take Drummond is if we somehow get MKG/Drummond - as MKG will put everyone in there place, one of the best leaders in a long, long time.
So Sacramento would be trading their number 5 and Tyreke Evans for what exactly? I mean I've heard of addition by subtraction, but something seems way off.
