    as long as we use our #6 pick.

    To me there are 7 tier 1 or tier 2 players, and I'll be happy with any of them:

    1: Anthony Davis
    2: Thomas Robinson
    3: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
    4. Andre Drummond
    5. Bradley Beal
    6. Lillard
    7. Barnes

    even though they each have their own faults. I see no reason to move up from #6 unless of course it gets us to #1.

    Assuming we keep pick #11, I want Waiters if available, but It'll be interesting to see who the Blazers draft there.

    Since our new GM wants to stockpile talent, I assume he won't reach. (though I understand some of you think Lillard is a reach).

    Really looking forward to draft night!
    Go Blazers!

    I still don't believe Portland will keep either 6 or 11

    You've barely gotten over your belief that Stern would engineer the lottery draft so New Jersey would retain its pick.

    I can only assume people have been fired for that mess.

    One thing I've been wondering is when will we know if there's been a trade - we have needs at all positions.
    Usually, if we draft someone who appears to be a bad fit, we can suspect a trade is coming. I don't know
    if that will be possible this year.

    Usually there is enough intel on draft night to be aware of it. Woj is usually right on it.

    Really? I'd be shocked if they traded the picks. I can't remember Portland ever trading two high picks for two or more lower picks, or for veterans, for that matter. I could be wrong, of course. Anybody out there have a handle on this?

    you're asking if any of us, on a fan website, have a handle on what the Blazers are doing?

    Sure, I do. And while I'm at it, I also have some ocean front property in tucson I want to sell you for half off.

    I think POR needs to trade up to get #4 or #5 and insure they get 1 of Robinson, Beal, Barnes or MKG....Probably one of the latter 2 SF....There is a chance 1 of them could drop if a team ahead (CHA, CLE or SAC) takes Drummond....but I think come draft day, POR may be able to move up a spot or 2 w\o paying a heavy cost, like they did for LA & Roy....

    Just get 1 of those 4 guys....

    I posted a pic of my penis on this board for about two minutes when everyone was talking about the Oden penis pic ordeal. I think one person saw it before I took it down out f fear of being banned.

    No, I'm asking if anyone can remember the Blazers ever trading their first round pick (or picks) . . .
