    You're gullible if you think they're dealing the 2nd overall pick for "anything and everything" but everybody is turning them down.

    With all the Wolves fans here, we're truly flattered you think this highly of one of our Blazers.

    But I'd suggest you shift your attention to Brandon Rush or Matt Barnes.

    A re-do of that draft and he's not a lotto pick.

    Sounds like Neil said at the PC that Hibbert is their only FA they really want. If they don't get him then there's really no "plan b", as far as adding a FA for the future. Hibbert is it.

    Plan B is turning to uneven trades.

    You are dreaming and you are being a greedy fan....You don't send a full crew out to woo Batum and then verbally offer him a deal and then desperately try and work out a S&T that sticks it to the team you are trying to get him from....

    They would gladly give up some non essential assets to get Batum...The problem is convincing POR to do it, which they have been trying to do for awhile now to no avail....The hope is that with Hibebrt now gone and nothing else on the hoprizon that Olshey and particularly Allen come to thier senses, let go of the emotion and make a deal...

    HAHAHA who goes before him? Nolan Smith? Penis Cancer? Jimmer?

    Faried and Leonard would be up there, NO NO NO way you could redraft that year and not put Derrick Williams in the top 5 without looking completely retarded.

    It's only been one year with no offseason and hardly any practice. You're overestimating the panic here. Alot.

    I disagree, what is he 21? He had some ups and downs last year as a rookie, but he has more potential than you give him credit for...

    Agree to disagree.

    The potential is there (athleticism) but until he finds a position, he's going to be this 12PER guy for the foreseeable future.

    There's your problem. You don't think Derrick Williams is an essential trade asset. He's not gonna be a giveaway.

    MN is going hard after Batum cause they think they can make an offer we can't match. If they price goes too high and MN has to trade all their trade assets and still pay the guy a bloated contract they'd rather go after Iggy.

    Of course Minne fan has his guy up there. He's a little biased.

    A little is an understatement.

    I could see Faried, Leonard, Kyrie Irving, Brandon Knight, Kemba Walker, Marshon Brooks, Klay Thompson, Isaiah Thomas ... there's eight I wouldn't call retarded.

    It's pretty desperate to pretend to be a Blazer fan to sway opinion on Batum.

    Not.

    Swayed.

    Looking at centers, factoring in Leonard, take your pick:

    -Varejao
    -Gortat
    -Noah*
