    lol. Did the Bucks re-up their GM this past season? If so, the owner should fire himself. And then the new owner should fire the GM. Terrible franchise.

    D'oh, of course Petrie is out. About time, too. I wonder which of their players the new GM likes.

    Well, it's progress that they don't like one of them. They shouldn't like EITHER of them.

    "Report: Cavs shopping #1 pick for small forward"

    Would you offer Batum? Part of me is tempted, but then I remember that Otto Porter is a contender for the #1 pick, and he has a chance to be as good as Batum...

    If the Heat get knocked out by Indiana, I wonder if they'd consider a Bosh-for-Cousins trade. Cousins obviously needs to be in the right environment. Wow - I wonder if the Spurs would ever consider him? They could offer Splitter/Kawhi Leonard.

    So who's the #1 pick after you do that, then?

    LMA for the CLE package

    The #1 + Meyers(?) for DMC and The Jimmer

    DMC/Thompson/Larkin(#19) is a nice haul for LMA

    Who would you take #1. No other trades scenarios. No other picks. Just Batum for #1. I would do it as well but not sure who is better between Oladipo and McLemore. but it would be one those two. I love Oladipo, but McLemore is just as athletic and has a great jump shot.

    But Oladipo is a better defender....and has intangibles

    McLemore sounds way too passive. His college career ended in a fizzle. We have too many quiet types on this team. If it's between him and Oladipo, give me Oladipo every time.

    Batum infuriates me as much as any Blazer, but I think I would be majorly bummed if he was traded. Especially for a pick in THIS crappy draft. Aldridge is a much better player, but I wouldn't care as much, sad to say.

    it would be between Oladipo, Porter and Noel. Either way we benefit because our cap room just about doubled and we got most likely at least an equal talent to Batum

    So you replace Batum with a less athletic version?

    Something to be said about a player who graduated from College in 3 years.....
    however McLemore was just a freshman. Was Oladipo a leader at that age?

    Would you stop there or go full rebuild by moving LMA also?

    I have been pro trading Aldridge for a while now, but it depends on what I could get with my now 20+ million dollars in cap room and the #1 and #10 pick. Portland could get real good, real fast with those assets
