    Since being moved to PG, Stephen Curry has simply blown up. He would be the absolute perfect long term PG for this team. He'd fit in perfect with the culture as well. Right now he's my number one prospect for the Blazers. I'm hoping Portland makes a move up for him this upcoming draft.

    Get it done, Pritchard.

    Id be willing to bet he will be VERY high in the draft especially with everyone drooling over PG's...I dont know if you would like what it might realistically take to get him

    7 assists is pretty respectable for college.

    Wow....this year's draft will have 3 top talent PGs in Stephen Curry, Brandon Jennings & Ricky Rubio...not to mention a guy like Ty Lawson being a solid pick up.

    Very nice...for teams likes my Timberwolves....who might find themselves in position to get a top prospect bigman in Blake Griffin, Thabeet or BJ Mullins along with a top PG....yeah baby!!!! Hopefully McHale won't draft them and trade them the same night...ugh....lol

    You guys have no chance at him. Curry won't last past the Bulls (unless they win the lottery again, and take Blake Griffin or something like that).

    Kid is the kid of an NBA player, so Dell should prepare him well for the NBA. Stephen Curry is so fun to watch. He reminds me of Ben Gordon a lot.

    That's just who I was thinking of. With his ability to shoulder the scoring load during crunch time...it's a very good comparison. But Curry seems to be able to shift over more naturally to PG. I's be happy to have Curry playing for the Wolves next year....as well as Rubio or B. Jennings

    maybe not....Blake is a solid player who could come in and play Center so Big Al can shift over to his more natural PF...sure Love might be shifting between the two to help with minutes. When it's all said and done....Griffin looks to be a better contributor wit more upside than Love (and I am a Love fan) Griffin is starting to look like a special player. When Griffin signed with OU he was a 6'5" gaurd and just bolted up to 6'10" in a year...which is evident when you watch him play...it's amazing to see the ease of his handle, dribbling between his legs on a drive, all while being a 6'10" 260+pound Man-Child!

    All I'm saying is...Griffin is a talent that you get and work him into the system...don't pass on him. But Knowing McFail...he'll draft him and trade him....ugh:dunno:

    No thanks. WE are loaded. He looks like a good player, but similar to someone we already have...

    But I guess if we could consolidate our roster (and we would have to move Bayless in the process) to trade up to get him, I guess it would be cool.

    BUt I like our team as is, and I think this off-season our roster will take care of its self.

    Agreed, with the abundance of great young talent. Portland would benifit more with the addition of a Bowen or Posey type player.....a solid veteran who can come in and help on D and calm tense situations...and it would be a great plus if he has extensive play-off experience

    Maybe even trading a young player and/or picks for someone like Battier...now he would really get you guys locked into a deep play-off situation

    That could be something to really explore. With Detroit looking like thier edging in on rebuilding (AI & Wallace on last year of contract). Who better to deal with than Portland....plenty of young talent...they could easily make a good offer for Prince....and it might happen as soon as this trade deadline if Detroit doesn't look to be going deep in the play-offs. A couple younguns and LaFrentz' expiring contract might do it

    Darren Collison and Patrick Mills, needs to be mentioned in that group too.

    Which bring to Patrick Mills, he would be a good fit for Portland as well.

    Stephen Curry would be awesome! Another PG I'm very interested in is Jeff Teague from Wake. He's going to be a special player I think.

    Call me biased, but Darren Collison doesn't belong anywhere near that conversation.

    John Paxson just basically gave an endorsement of Stephen Curry and Amare Stoudemire on ESPN.

    I think Detroit just gave Prince a big extension. He's a piece they are keeping.
