    Could?

    Matthews and 11 would be something to look at. Batum and Deng on the wings would be long

    Houston Rockets reportedly offering Kyle Lowrie & #16 pick to TOR for #8 pick in NBA Draft. If I'm Portland, I do that deal for the #6 pick.


    So would I

    A lineup of LaMarcus/PJIII/Batum could be pretty exciting on offense.

    Agree on the Jamal Crawford comparison. A bit scary.

    Is Deng really worth it? He reminds me of another 3rd or 4th best player. I would rather take a flyer at 11 on someone with potential than take a guy with a big contract who has hit his ceiling and it is 3rd place.

    Since we are dreaming anyway, how about Drummond/LMA/PJIII/Batum/_____

    Don't you think with coaching and hanging with LMA, that PJIII could learn to bang more? LMA had the same issues and he came around. PJIII will have a total restart when he enters the NBA. I'm not sure what he thinks he is now matters.

    He doesn't seem to have the desire to do it. That's my only fear.


    LA's issues weren't desire as much as system. Texas and Nate both had him on the high post, and not the low post. LA simply needed to learn to play down there

    Definitely. Though with 2 lotto picks, probably the easiest package to put together if new GM wants to build from ground up. And coming from OKC, I woul dimagine his direction is different than previous Orlando GM, wanting veteran pieces to compete now. He knows better than that.

    I wouldn't do that deal at all....Lowry has too many red flags...injuries, blasting his coach, off court incidents....Not to mention that he isn't an all star claiber player IMO...stay away from him....
