    I feel like we need a well rounded all-star calibur player that could bring some experience and not be over 30. I wonder where we could find him...

    How would Twitter feel about Deng+Mirotic+the Charlotte pick for LMA?


    Answer: Uh....not good...

    more....

    Sean Highkin @highkin about 22 minutes ago
    1. Yes, Boozer would be amnestied. 2. Deng is expiring. Draw for PDX is future assets. 3. Rose/shooting guard X/Butler/LMA/Noah

    Mirotic and #16 pick is "the draw"? I don't see it....

    I didn't hear anything about bad habits at practice....I don't think he got floor time b\c of Sefolosha (defense) and Martin....

    We disagree about his talent and NBA impact...time will tell...

    Depends on what Chicago can get for Deng.

    It'd have to be a 3-way.

    .@Ken Berger has the #Twolves liking Shabazz. I think he has at least 1 fan in the FO. But not at the top. I'll be surprised if he's the pick.

    Who is right? National writer or beat reporter? One would think the latter but then I think.....Jason Quick

    Working on Mock 7.0. Team A convinced: 1. Len 2. McLemore 3. Bennett Team B: 1. Noel 2. Oladipo 3. Porter. It's going to be a long night

    Fun night for being a draft fan though....

    Hard to tell what POR would want for Aldridge (besides Noah), but this is a good year to tank for a high draft pick.

    Prospects I like as sleepers, but didn't write about: Jamaal Franklin, Ricardo Ledo, Erick Green, C.J. Leslie, James Ennis, Tim Hardaway Jr.


    I think Ledo & Ennis are intriguing as well...

    I think if Shabazz drops to us we'll take him. I can live with the gamble on him at 10. Would much rather have Oladipo. I have a feeling Olshey's going with best SG available.

    #Nets GM Billy King on possibility of dealing No. 22 pick: "I’d say there’s about a 60 percent chance – up. Maybe add another big."

    Chicago interest in LMA is like Minnesota trying to find a package to trade for Batum last offseason.

    Said repeatedly Blazers won't move LaMarcus Aldridge. I was wrong. Told tonight they'd be willing, but want 2 first-rounders and player(s).

    Bulls or Spurs have improved offer for Rockets F Thomas Robinson, I'm told. Cavs may be left out at the end.

    Robinson, Mirotic, Deng, 2016 1st rounder and Bulls 2014 pick for LA? Maybe and\or #20 this year? I don't see a lot there to like....

    Mirotic info...

    http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-chicago-bulls-carlos-boozer-replacement-plan

    http://www.chicagonow.com/chicago-b...vily-on-newly-crowned-acb-mvp-nikola-mirotic/

    http://www.draftexpress.com/profile/nikola-mirotic-5134/

    and he has a $3 million buyout...I wonder if CHI paying that would be part of the deal as well (sending $3mil in cash)...

    Can't see too many teams matching the CLE offer if that's what Neil wants.

    Basically they're in no rush to trade him

    Either the Blazers continue to suck and eventually trade Aldridge

    Or the Blazers turn in to a nice team and Aldridge stays

    Also, Cavs-Nets-Wolves three-way deal involving CJ Miles, Brooks and picks Nos. 22 and 26 very real. Or just 22 for Miles.

    One source said Cavs GM Chris Grant's offers "ungodly one-sided." Not first time I've heard that. If true, that's actually way it should be.

    Maybe there is a potential CLE\POR deal for LA that could be had but CLE GM is not being realistic in what he is offering....

    Brian Wheeler ‏@blazerwheels 3h
    For what it's worth @paulcoro of the Arizona Republic said on #WAW today that Marcin Gortat could b had for the right price.

    Brian Wheeler ‏@blazerwheels 3h
    @paulcoro also said M. Carter-Williams had 2 workouts with the Suns. Doesn't think they'd pick him at #5, but maybe at #10
