    Same, but I think he's solidified himself thus far. Can't see him being there at #6.

    To me, of the general Top-6, it seems like Beal will be the most likely to fall to #6.

    Been telling you guys this for a few months.

    TRob + Rivers are the two guys who have the balls to play big in big games. We don't have anyone like that on our team now. I'm not as scared of CHA picking TRob as much as I am of WAS -- especially because of the hometown thing. So if we want him, we have to climb up to 2.

    But T-Rob is 21 years old...

    Ed O. will blow a gasket.

    I think it's a mistake to take Robinson over Beal.

    Right, which would take the 6 plus some change to move up to get Robinson. That change isn't the 11th pick either. Maybe a 2nd rounder or Babbit at most, but switching our pick for Robinson is something that could be very easily done without much assets going back in exchange. Teams are willing to move down to collect an extra small asset as there is no sure-fire superstar between 2 and 6.

    Hell no! I would much rather have whatever we can get at 6 and 11 then Robinson!

    We still have our $3mil cash to use in a trade this year. Maybe we can buy a later first round pick from someone and use that to move up. I think TRob is worth 6 + 11, but the market rate will probably be a lot lower.

    MOve up for whoever at 2 and buy a pick for Moe Harkless or Terrence Ross? Will they last?

    Sounds like I need to give Meyers Leonard and Fab Melo a bump in my mock draft. NBA guys really excited about them after the Combine today.

    You can't determine by raw numbers.

    Is Lillard and PJIII worth Robinson? (fill in your own players, Rivers? Ross?)

    For me, no.

    I think right now, before workouts the answer has to be no
