    I understand that this is the NBA and not prime time at the local LA Fitness, but with our significant needs at big-man depth, focus on character and "playing the right way" what would you do (if anything) to get the Morris twins from Kansas?

    The Morris twins (they want you to call them that) want to play on the same NBA team. They're actually a bit differently stylistically (Markieff's profile vs. Marcus's profile) and Marcus' post-up game complements Markieff's outside game.

    They're both projected for mid-1st-round, and if all it would take was a few million here and there for it, I think it'd be worth it.

    I understand what you're saying but this is the Blazers, we'd only want to play one of them and save the other for spare parts when his knees blow out.

    Yes!

    Now if we can only find long lost twins for Roy and Oden.

    Sure, but only if we can also draft Darius Morris as our PGotF.

    If the Vancouver Canucks can do it with the Sedins, then why not?
