    <div class="quote_poster">Quoting CourtVision:</div><div class="quote_post">The only possible teams I can see Granger being drafted by are the Bobcats but they would have to pass up Chris Paul or Deron Williams or Utah but they are heavy at the 3 spot and are in major need of a point guard. Felton would be the most talented point guard available. It would just be logical.

    I'm not saying that Granger is guaranteed to be on the Raptors but IF this trade does go down it increases our chances of selecting him with the 7th pick.</div>
    New Orleans is also interested in him with the 4th pick too.

    So far this IS a rumor and the Lakers claim,a false one and they are irate about their players hearing it....however,that can nean nada. Putting Kobe,Green,Odem on the floor togather is a logical idea from the Laker's angle. 3 matchup nightmares. They likely still need a good PG unless there's a notion that they might play both Green and Bryant at G,Luke Walton and Odom at F and have 4 passer-playmaker guys and no true point. With Phil J coaching,that is not out of the question.

    can't there be a three-way trade possibility between these picks? I mean, I don't think Kupchak would trade caron and atkins and #10 for #3 and patterson, so maybe the deal is more involved, if there is going to be any deal at all.

    I do think Kupchak would go for it,in fact,the Blazer's might get a sweeter deal by draft day.
