    Good points, RR7, but Chandler was supposed to be that good coming in. It just took him a while to find his pro game. The other guys were never regarded as having that degree of impact, were they?

    I am not stoked about any of them either. So for me it just comes down to which one can we get the cheapest. Giving up a lottery pick is not cheap. I am not talking in terms of dollars but rather assets. In short I want to keep the pick. (Unless it gets us a really good player which doesn't seem to be an option)

    I understand that the pick is as risky as these veteran centers, but I really want a chance at both.

    Rice is horrible when it comes to knowing what other teams are going to do and even names of other teams' players. As I said above though, lately he has been spot on regarding POR's picks.

    Ha! That is funny. So typical of Rice to mix up the foreign players.

    I think his draft insight was heavily based on info he got from his son. At least on players his son coached against or input other coaches he knew gave him. Although an ass, Mike junior did seem pretty knowledgeable during the tournament. I wonder where he will turn up. My guess is a year off and then an NBA assistant.

    Would be kinda cool to see the #1 pick traded for the first time in almost 20 years. Wonder who they are going after because the Cavs are rumored to value both TT and Waiters fairly highly so I cant forsee them adding one or both in a trade that nets them really only one allstar player and then filler.

    Hmm, anyone else think of the LMA/CLE rumor from a week ago?

    LMA or Kevin Love would be my two best guesses

    Was my initial thought, since I like to think of us with every rumor out there. But just can't see it happening. Same with Love. They're really close to being a playoff team, with health. Why would you scrap that now? Especially for someone like Noel.

    I thought about how somebody would post about it. Trades that make the Blazers a worse team next season are simply not going to happen.
