    Because we couldn't find a team willing to trade a vet to us for that pick that had more potential to help us then McC? Gortat for 10 is no guarantee. Same with McGee.

    And, if Blazer Management believes LMA does want to leave (they know more than we here do), then why trade for a vet when you can bolster the future.

    I just don't think he's worth all that much more than capspace

    I think Bennett. Lack of size always seems to scare teams when push comes to shove.

    If they can't find a trade they like. Which is very likely.

    It's all good dude. Just flippin' you shit. I love draft week, too. I keep one tab on S2, and the other on the Hoopshype twitter feed.

    I get all geeked up for draft day. Sadly, for all the rumors, very little actually happens with the Blazers.

    Yeah, I have a tough time seeing McLemore fall out of the top 5, but this draft more than any other I can recall looks to be a wild ride...

    Me neither. But Olshay obviously really thinks he's a "needle-mover." I'd rather go after a C in FA.

    McLemore isn't worth a top 3 pick. I wouldn't be too surprised if he dropped.

    Two in a row

    Mike (Portland)

    If both Pope and McCallum are off the board where will the Blazers go? And please don't say another project big...we already have that
    Chad Ford (1:28 PM)

    Zeller, Steven Adams. Or if any of the point guards fall, like Burke, Carter-Williams, they'd take those guys.


    Ripcity4life (Oregon)

    Do you think Aldridge will be a Blazer at the start of next season ? Also do you think the Blazers will stay at 10 or move up or Down ?
    Chad Ford (1:29 PM)

    I think that the Blazers will listen to Aldridge offers. Seriously listen. Given how good he is, I do think there's a solid chance he's played his last game in a Blazers jersey. The Blazers aren't going to give him away obviously, but he's an intriguing trade target for a lot of teams.

    I disagree, I think with what he has had to deal with in his life, his generally naive nature from what has been reported and the nitpicking that occurs playing under the Kansas spotlight his negatives are being overstated and his positives being discounted....

    They say best case Ray Allen and one comparison I saw (and agreed with) was his floor could be an Allen Housten....which I do not think is bad as a floor...

    Was told 2 weeks ago #Cavs weren't interested in T-Rob. From all indications, that hasn't changed. I'd say the Robinson for #19 isn't true

    I agree with this, unless Noel slips...I can see ORL taking Oladipo at #2....

    There's nothing special about the guy. He's athletic and can shoot....that's about it. He can't dribble and he played PF in high school. I think his ceiling is a solid starter ALA Wesley Matthews. Not worth a top 3 pick.

    I seriously don't see why he's a much better prospect than say KCP.

    Indiana C Cody Zeller seems to be making slight climb in NBA Draft. Bobcats could take a chance on him at No. 4. Same with Suns at 5.

    This confuses me, they have Shved whom they like, they are possibly acquiring Brooks AND they will draft a SG? I think this is a contigency if KCP isn't there.....or perhaps rumours that they like Zeller may be true...

    ORL @ #2 has been mentioned as well, I don't believe it....but with this draft you never know....

    Doc Rivers: "With DeAndre and Blake, I think you can absolutely form an unbelievable defense"


    Doesn't sound like executive VP Doc Rivers is looking to deal DeAndre...

    Kahn left quite the legacy. First it was to acquire all PGs, then all former Blazers, now it's all SGs. One track mind.

    Trade possibility rumor via @Chad Ford @Marc Stein: T-wolves send Derrick Williams, No. 9 and 26 to CHA for No. 4. Deal or no deal?

    Going for Oladipo, I'm not conviced he would be there at #4....
