    I have just one thing to say:

    Go, Morey GO!!!!!!

    (Mods can merge this with the draft thread if they like. Hell, merge EVERY thread with that thread - let's blow the servers.)

    Using a smokescreen (Drummond) on our smokescreen (Lillard)

    I love this time of year.

    Does anyone know who they really want any more? Can they actually draft someone ironically?

    Doubt Lillard is a smokescreen at this point.

    I'd be PISSED if we went for Rivers at 6.

    Let them have Lillard. Blazers take Barnes and get Drajic in free agency.

    I can't see it happening, but I'd be pretty happy with MKG. Not so much if it were Barnes.

    Well whatever Houston does I just hope the Blazers don't panic and try to make a stupid counter-move just to make sure they get Lilliard -- chasing the draft in Olshey's words.

    MKG/Drummond is my dream draft.

    Batum
    MKG
    Aldridge
    Drummond

    Nash at PG for a quick fix. Wouldn't want to face that team in the open court.


    Nash - Nolan
    Batum - Wes - Elliot
    MKG - Babbitt (eh) - Wes
    Aldridge - Hickson or Freeland
    Drummond - Joel (would certainly teach Drummond how to hustle the f#ck up)

    If we get MKG, maybe even package Batum or Wes and change for a legit starting PG.

    How do you expect to get both? There is no way Drummond falls past Detroit.

    Like I was saying, MKG/Drummond is my dream draft - didn't say it was plausible.

    I don't expect it. Unless we could package #11 + some trash for 7,8 but very, very doubtful.

    My dream is a rather unpopular one. My hope is for Drummond at 6 (assuming Robinson is not there).

    The last 5 years has felt like Limbo from Inception. Where the fuck is Leonardo DiCaprio and why won't my totem stop spinning????

    Houston Rockets point guard Kyle Lowry sees the writing on the wall and expects to be traded in the next 24 hours. The only question seems to be where he will be traded, with Sacramento and Toronto looking like the current frontrunners. The Rockets are looking for a lottery pick, either to use themselves, perhaps on Andre Drummond, or to sweeten their offer to Orlando for Dwight Howard.

    Additionally, sources close to the situation tell HOOPSWORLD that the Rockets already have a deal in place to re-sign free agent point guard Goran Dragic, which would explain why they are so willing to deal Lowry.

    I'm hoping that Robinson is the one to slide (doubtfull). For some reason he's the guy I am most excited about, even though I admit I don't have the full book on any of these guys.

    If they move up, I sure as heck hope it would be for Robinson or Beal.

    Agreed with the last two posters. Amen.

    Robinson or Beal would be huge for our roster. If not, I'm cool with Lillard. I'd expect, barring anything crazy or any big moves, any of those 3 would start this year so we'd probably shape free agency around who we get in the draft.
