    They didn't mention the Blazers when talking about Lillard -- they said that the people he talked to the #8 pick is his best-case scenario.

    I am surprised as well that so many said Lillard and Rivers, but that is one of the scenarios I have posted in the last month. So I will go with that as my final one.

    I want a new young backcourt so if River is taken 9 or 10, then I will be OK with Waiters or Ross at #11. I doubt all three will be gone by then.

    What do you mean by scouts said that's his best-case scenario? It's not like the 8th pick in the draft means something special or quantifiable. Scouts usually talk about a guy's ability to play in the league and how he'll stack up, not draft slotting.

    Wasn't his opinion, he was relaying information.

    6. Lillard
    11. Zeller (I'm hoping for Royce White here, but I know that's seen as too big of a reach.)

    Barnes/Lillard.

    I'm still going to say the two I want for this team are PJIII and Rivers.

    IT WAS NOT CHAD FORD'S OPINION!

    He was relaying information from scouts and whomever his "insiders" are.

    His ceiling is #8 while same say his range is more #10-20.

    What's with the Rivers love. Didn't you mofos get a belly full of chucking and tunnel vision last year?

    I don't care. The guy is less reliable than Ric Bucher.

    Yeah, Chad Ford has a grudge to settle with Lillard.

    :shrug: Well, whatever I don't read him. My gut just tells me that the Blazers really like Lilliard (I'm kind of ambivalent myself) and I like Ross quite a bit out of all the guys likely to still be on the board at 11 (way over Rivers and Lamb and the big white stiffs like Leonard and Zeller).
