    I call complete and utter bullshit:

    That 3 way with Minny, NJ and Memphis would be fun.

    memphis gets WAY too much value for the #2, Minny needs to rebuild through the draft, not with a 27 yr old Devin Harris, if NJ is rebuilding, then I'd go after a more proven young player than anyone in this years draft

    Portland would have to get a shitload more then a top 5 pick in the worst draft in 10 years for this to even be possible.

    I am all for KP taking a risk, but this would be insanity.

    I'd rather trade Oden for a resigned Bosh/Amare than ANYONE in this years draft

    This is too wack to even be a smokescreen. No way would the Blazers trade Oden for a top 5 pick in this weak ass draft. Well, unless it was something like Oden to OKC for the 3rd pick AND Kevin Durant.

    There aren't many things that would seriously make me consider stopping being a Blazer fan, but that might be one.

    I kind of think Devin Harris is better then anyone outside of Blake Griffin in this draft. Certainly better then any two players available at 5 and 6 put together. Minni makes out like a bandit in this trade.

    It wouldn't be a surprising move from the NBA's unofficial farm team, though. Memphis will be the first team in the modern history of the league to have a total payroll under 20 million. They will draw 5K fans to each game, but still make a ton of money due to the profit sharing rules in the NBA.

    How about Gay and Rubio for Oden? Rubio and Green?

    I don't believe any of it, AND I DON'T LIKE THE IDEA, but you could probably come up with some combination of talent + #2 or #3 pick that could make some sense.

    I wouldn't trade Oden for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd pick all together.

    I think you can add Batum to this list - and if there is anyone that might be moved here - it is Joel - and even this is very unlikely.

    Oden's PER was 18 something Gay is a Travis Outlaw clone....almost literally. Rubio hasn't done shit. There is no one in this draft, including Blake Griffin that I would trade Greg Oden for.
