A lot of draft boards don't have the trades, just the picks. I am confused on what the roster is right now. Yes, I know the draftees still have to make the team and all... but what are we looking at? To my understanding, this is what we have. Blake \ Bayless \ Mills Roy \ Rudy Batum \ Webster \ Cunningham Aldridge \ Outlaw \ Claver Oden \ Joel \ Pendergraph I don't care about Frye, Randolph or any of the other scrubs that wont make the team next year, that is why I didn't add them. But does that look about right? For now at least.
The way I see it, Portland went into the draft with this roster; Aldridge Batum Bayless Blake Fernandez Oden Outlaw Joel P Roy Webster Non-guaranteed Pendergraph Cunningham Mills Also, cap holds for, but not roster spots for; Petri Freeland Claver

Claver is not coming next year, so get him out of there. He is playing on the same team as Freeland and Koponen - the Bergamo Blazers in Italy...
Officially, right now our roster looks like this Blake/Bayless Roy/Fernandez Batum/Outlaw/Webster Aldridge/Frye/Randolph Oden/Przybilla/Ruffin
That team gets bounced in the first round barring huge growth on Oden/Bayless' part. If Bayless isn't starting by February of next year we're looking at another first round bounce courtesy of Houston, LA or San Antonio. We might get lucky and make it to the second by matchup only. We must improve other GM's aren't taking the summer off.
Both KP and Nate loved that guy. Who's to say they don't believe he is the answer at PG? I wouldn't put it past them.
