    McCoy is a lottery ticket -- if he falls as far as mocks have him falling, I'd be very excited to buy a pick and nab him.

    I think I'm way higher on Diallo than most are too. I think he could be a legit starting 2 in this league -- would love to see us go for a couple "swing for the fences" guys like them.

    Stop it. He can shoot that's it. He has no athleticism, NO defense, and is basically Allen Crabbe without the length or "athleticism".

    3 and no D.

    The Blazers won't have a first round pick in my estimation, so why bother?

    If CLE trades the 8th pick for a vet, then you have a nearly direct indication there that Lebron stays. No way they trade that pick if he leaves.

    Been saying this for ages, but FA being after the draft makes very little sense to me.

    That doesn't mean we won't be active on draft day. We'll either pick or we won't. If we move into the lottery there's a good reason to watch.

    If we don't move into the lottery, we're still gonna find out what we do with our pick.

    I’m hoping that we’re really active on draft day or the days leading up to it. These days, it doesn’t seem like they announce the trades until later, so it isn’t as much fun to watch as it used to be. I’ll probably have it on in the background while I work, but I’m not super-excited about it.

    I think the part about staying in the high lottery is good to point out, for any of us thinking CJ to Memphis

    Well who has the ability to take Parsons from them and offer high lottery pick?

    Dallas makes no sense. They won’t take that deal to move up one spot. Orlando cannot take him. Chicago can. Cleveland and New York can’t. Philadelphia can. Charlotte can’t and we aren’t even in high lottery anymore now.

    I think Phila will do it. They will know they aren’t getting LeBron by the time draft comes and they will want the second best prize, Doncic.

    I think from the Blazers' perspective, CJ to Memphis won't happen without some other deal being in place to add an established star to the roster. Dame is looking for the addition of established players who can help the Blazers compete now, not in 3-4 years. If the Blazers made a move to trade CJ for a lottery pick, absent another deal for a proven star, they may as well trade Dame too and start over again. No way he's going to be content staying here and burning the prime of his career on a rebuild.

    They cannot take on salary, can they?

    And they don’t have high lottery picks either.

    I imagine Philly is still hoping to preserve their cap space.

    Cleveland could be an interesting option here. Several have suggested CJ/24 for Love/8. Others have suggested CJ for Parsons/4. Do you combine the deals? Do CJ/24 for Love/8, but also send Turner/8 to Memphis for Parsons/4?
