    If we did get into the top 8 or so I’m sure we would be targeting Mikal but the idea of a Bamba/Collins frontcourt sounds pretty dominant for the next decade. If i was a Nurk supporter i might feel different but i like centers who go up strong under the rim, not try to draw contact on fadeaway layups.

    Two strong front court players is nice, but only works if you have strong wing play which we don't have. NBA is about wing play with ability to shoot and drive then add the bigs to defend and cleanup. Then a couple spot up shooters to round out the lineup and then you may have a chance to contend. The only chance Portland has to contend is by maximizing CJ's value and hitting on everything we get for him. It can be done, but I think we are further from contending than most think...or want to admit.

    Trying to find a trade that works for Tobias Harris to use as our third wing @ sf.

    Harris is a more accurate 3pt shooter (.411) than CJ (.397) and Dame (.368)

    You sound like you don't know what you're talking about. This draft is very deep. Lots of long-range guys though.

    #24 isn't too much at all. One of those guys will be available there. Lonnie Walker is good.

    Weren’t you just saying like two days ago that there wasn’t going to be anyone there at 24? Lol.

    I said there's no one worth getting via trade that makes it worth trading #24.

    Another fantasy scenario. It’ll never happen but just imagine if it did.

    Buddy hield and Bogdanovic are good players but neither is a star. So Sacramento takes imo the best prospect in the draft in Doncic. Then they trade Bogdanovic to Portland for #24. We absorb his contract with the Crabbe TPE.

    Then we trade CJ to Orlando for Biyombo, Simmons, and #6. Take your pick who we’d draft at 6. We could probably land one of Jackson, Bamba, and Porter Jr.

    It’s not deep. Show me anything that says/proves it is besides your opinion.

    Yeah right! You would trade 24 for George Hill in a second if we could.

    This is the deepest top 11 I have seen in years. Maybe ever. It falls way off after that though. I wouldn't want pick 16 vs pick 24 if I was an owner paying salaries, personally. Don't see the difference this year. I would rather have pick 31 then 24 (just this year).

    Exactly, it’s top heavy followed by a bunch of guys who could all go at 24 in any given year.

    It’s the deepest lottery I have every seen in terms of upside... lots of players with unique physical attributes to match skill/production.

    I'd like to see Olshey get a 2nd round pick and draft Melvin Frazier. Explosive athlete, 3&D guy.
