    The timing of this trade is very interesting - is Noah a chip to trade up?

    That's what I've been wondering.

    Or used to trade for Hibbert on draft day

    Hibbert has a player option, so how does that work?

    Hibbert doesn't have that kind of value anymore.

    A mere 24 hrs away from the draft, I think this move is about moving up for .....Kristaps.

    Mentioned this in the bigger thread. Waiting to see what we do in the draft. Our roster is a bit unbalanced.

    Both vonleh and henderson can be moved

    Trading him for the right vet would be a solid move, but a disaster if it's for the wrong vet.

    Maybe you'll get your 7'2" white shooting guard after all.

    But I would start worrying about who else would be needed to bundle with him.

    Wouldn't surprise me. Vonleh is going to intrigue a lot of people. I would be happy to see him remain a Blazer, but I also thought Olshey might have to make a creative deal, flipping players he acquires or doing multi-team deals.

    Rasta, why do you hate Pringles so much? He's a Euro, that's right in your wheelhouse!

    Don't forget, height is not the end all be all. Vonleh has a 7' 41/2" wing span and an 8' 10" reach. He could play interior center

    But do we have time to wait for him to develop with an aging LMA? (if he re-signs)

    I think Vonleh is meant to be a longterm replacement for Aldridge. That's if we actually keep him.
