    He's hearing that Neil wants to trade into the top 5 and the target is Oladipo.

    I'd wait for the lotto to actually happen first before I talk trading into the top 5.

    Well, I think talking about trading up is logical, because iirc, the Blazers will either get 1-3, or 10-12.

    Good player to have to guard all the PG's these days

    It'd sure be a small backcourt, though

    Trading Wes would also clear up a lot of cap space if you wanted to throw a max at a guy in free agency , but would he be enough to get in the top 5? Hopefully they can get a top three pick outright so we don't have to find out.

    His reach/wingspan are nearly identical to Roy, fwiw.

    Odd you'd hear a specific name this early. He could easily be a smoke screen.

    Well duh. He can't trade a pick we don't have yet. He's just thinking ahead.

    Wes and 10 for Oladipo is the vibe we're getting, eh?

    A year ago, Olshey was very open in his preference for Lillard. Not quite this early, 5-6 weeks out, but about 3 weeks out it was becoming obvious, so all the mocks moved Lillard up to our spot at #6.

    I don't see it happening. I don't think Wes is enough to move up, unless maybe we take a bad contract back too. Wes/10 for Tyrus Thomas/pick, maybe, if the Bobcats drop a couple spots?

    I do not know why teams would give up cap space to get a player with similar value either. I like VO better than Wesley too.

    That is written with power. Either his agent wrote it or an IU communications major got an A for the project.

    Who knows, sometimes teams are stupid. Such as the Bulls trading LMA for Tyrus Thomas and Viktor Khryapa :)

    You mean Russian Pippen? You know they probably thought they fleeced us in that deal.

    Oladipo is a player! I would take him before Shabazz any day of the week. Not sure I would take him top 3 though and Wes is not enough to move up unless some team is really very stupid.

    When is the last time a team traded up into the top 5? Seems difficult and very rare.
