    JA Adande reported this morning on ESPN that the Blazers are trying to package picks 22 and 34 along with Rudy Fernandez to move in the top 10.

    If they pull it off, I bet they either get Patterson or George.

    I personally dont know if Rudy and the 22 and 34 are enough to get in the top 10. I used to be a huge Rudy fan, not so much anymore (after the playoffs).

    If we did get a top 10 pick... Miller, Joel (expiring), and top 10 pick for T.Parker or CP3?

    Man I don't know how any GM justifies accepting that for a lotto pick.

    Do any of the top 10 teams in the draft need a Rudy particularly? What draft position does the Spanish team have?

    Pacers could probably use more shooting on the wing. Granger is pretty much it for them.

    Minny needs Rudy for sure, but they are #4 and that might be too high up the top 10.

    If KP can pull that off, he deserves a parade.

    Well, a team that plays slowball like Nate would be less interested. A team whose biggest holes aren't on the wing would be less interested.

    If we do get a top 10 pick, I highly doubt we use it. I would bet that it's part of another trade.

    That trade makes absolutely no sense. A couple of crummy picks and a guy who just completely crapped all over himself in the playoffs for a top 10 pick? If I were a fan of the team who went for that, I'd be utterly enraged.

    One way this works is if we also throw in Joel and take back some ugly contract. That I could see working for a pick between maybe 6 and 10.
