    So the question is what veteran SF could POR be trying to get from another team?

    I can't believe it would be Kyle Korver....

    Anyone have any ideas?

    apparently, Olshey wants a player from a third team.

    Translation: Minnesota is desperately trying to find a SF to match the indispensable value of one of our core/franchise guys.

    Good luck with that.

    If it's Korver + Bulls 1st rounder + Minny's 1st rounder, I'm okay with it.

    ESPN Reports: POR & MIN working on deal 2-1st picks and SF vet from another team?

    Let's try this again since my original post seems to be all screwed up

    So ESPN's Ric Bucher is reporting than POR & MIN are working on adeal that would send 2 1st round picks MIN and MEM to POR with a verteran SF from another team, who has been identified....

    The question is what veteran SF could POR be trying to get from another team?

    I can't believe it would be Kyle Korver....

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Boy, who knows. Luol Deng? Trevor Ariza? Iggy? Assuming it is a serviceable starting SF and depending on the picks, I think that's a pretty good return.

    We could do worse than Korver and 2 two 1st rounders.

    Re: ESPN Reports: POR & MIN working on deal 2-1st picks and SF vet from another team?

    Korver's not a starter and isn't he pretty much Babbitt but older and shorter? I hope it isn't Korver coming back, but that could make for some interesting lineups I guess.

    Re: ESPN Reports: POR & MIN working on deal 2-1st picks and SF vet from another team?

    The picks are MEM 2013 pick and MIN pick, which could be unprotected (or top 3 protected).....

    Here are some names I came up with:

    Wilson Chandler DEN
    Luol Deng CHI -
    Marshon Brooks - NJ (more of a SG)
    Maggette or Prince from DET
    Granger from IND (highly doubt it)
    Aminu NO
    Iguodala or Turner (doubtful) from Philly
    Salmons from SAC

    Don't see a lot of other names really out there...
