    If Alan Crabbe moves, I predict it will be up.

    At best I think the ceiling is likely mid-late first.

    I'd target: Jordan Adams or Jordan Clarkson. I liked Napier here but his stock has risen a lot during workouts.

    So if Blazers have a player in mind they feel they can't pass on and the roster is full, who is the first player you waive

    Rule: Can't say Lamarcus

    Yes, I could see that. Problem is the Blazers have 4 SGs . . . . . . . . . . .5 if you count Lillard. :)

    If Adams slips to the second round, I think he'll be a huge steal. I'd easily give up our scraps - Crabbe, Claver Wright and Leonard. I'd even give up Freeland, Barton or McCollum to get him. I'd have to think hard about giving up Robinson, but I'd probably do it too. Damn I love the draft. Good thing I'm not the GM.

    Tough but fair. We won't miss either, but we'd miss Claver even less. I like the kid, but he's a Nate guy in a Terry world.

    Can we package Claver, Crabbe, Meyers and Leonard for a productive big and a pick and then buy a pick? :)

    I'd love to see Olshey grab a 2nd rounder to select Russ Smith--dude's gonna be an absolute pest on the defensive end, & he can score the ball a li'l bit, too.

    Sorry but the 3 million is a cap for a whole year not just a single trade any more. So unless you have a scenario where he can buy the 3rd pick for 3 million we have nothing.

    Just because he has two first names, doesn't mean you can count him twice.

    I would rather they bought a pick in the mid-1st round and had a guy like Tyler Ennis developing and getting better than having a guy like Earl Watson anchoring the end of the bench.

    He reminds me a lot of Patty Mills. Portland already prematurely gave up Mills one time; Russ Smith ... I wouldn't hate that pick in the 2nd round at all.

    With all these teams looking for cap space, there are definitely picks that could be bought. I wonder how high of a pick could be bought for 3 million . . . might some teams sell picks for 1 million just so they don't have to take on the rookie salary.

    But there will also be teams looking to trade away players and that 3 million could come in handy then . . . or if the Blazers get lucky and a star FA wants to come to Ptd, they need to save that 3 million to trade away for cap space.

    Crazy summer . . . I love it (just wish Olshey had more to play with)

    You haven't followed realgm forums if you're disappointed/surprised by this.
