    Bad move by his agent!

    We are one of the few teams in the lotto that can slide up to #2.

    Oh well, as I've mentioned in another thread, this team needs a big in the worst way.

    You don't draft journeyman centers (if he is even that) in the lottery....not unless you want to lose your job.....Teams with dumb mgmt make those kinds of moves....

    and he will NEVER be Tyson Chandler....

    I never understood why agents have their players NOT work out for teams. Maybe PDX wants to move up.

    Cleveland and Portland have talked about swapping draft picks, according to source. Cavs would get #6 and #11, Blazers would get #4 and #24.

    Bleh. I think we can do better than that for 6 + 11.

    That's a steep price to move up two spots.

    Way too steep for 6 and 11. If they had a mid teens pick that would be one thing, but 24? No thanks.

    I'd do it if Robinson were available but there is no way he falls out of the top3.

    -Davis
    -Robinson
    -Beal
    -MKG?

    Beal is the only guy I can think of that might be available at 4 and not 6. Is he worth dropping from 11 to 24 for? Interesting. I wouldn't be against it. It's always better to have 1 really good player than two mediocre players. Remember 2005?

    Hell no! I would be way happier with what we can get with 6 and 11.

    If we could get TRob + Wroten, I'd be okay with that.

    To get T-Rob we're going to have to trade up with CHA.

    Looking at who they are brining in for a workout I'd guess they're eyeing MKG.

    Yeah Drummond is gowing on me. Now that it sounds like he is a possibilty I have been reading a little more about him. I like this analysis:

    "For a big man, Drummond is just about as mobile as they come. Two footed jumper with impressive leaping ability. Definitely explosive relative to NBA competition in terms of vertical ability, he gets off the ground fairly quickly, is just as impressive off of one leg and can play ‘above the rim.’ Has legitimate end-to-end speed to be a factor out in transition."

    I still don't think he will drop to us but I would not mind it. (Other than the whole jinx thing)

    You're going to have to bring in a serious bigman coach for Drummond. He's a long way away from being a contributor.
