    Batum could get us 8 and beyond I bet but honestly after Wiggins, Parker, Embiid, Exum, Smart and maybe Vonleh/Randle there is no one in the draft worth trading Batum for even if we get Deng.

    Yep, and that's why the Kings are looking to trade the pick. Unless one of those guys drop, the pick is pretty meh.

    I've seen a lot of people mention Marvin Williams, but he doesn't seem any better than DWright, and DWright sucks.

    Since 2003 was the best rookie class in recent memory, we should get one of the guys who was on the all-rookie team that year.

    Have there been any articles about trade rumors regarding the Trail Blazers yet? I haven't seen anything?

    Why should there be? It's unlikely we're shopping anyone.

    #36 Kris Humphries - don't know if Portland is a big enough city for him though.
    #45 Kirk Hinrich - plays on a team that forces him to take a lot of shots late in the shot clock so his shooting % isn't where it should be. Would regain his shot on a better offensive team.
    #73 Aaron Brooks - Would Stunt CJ's growth but is a vet Guard where CJ is still unproven.
    #98 Ivan Johnson - Would give the Blazers a big who rebounds and isn't afraid to give a HARD foul
    #118 Andres Nocioni - Was a Black Hole in his time in Chicago. But is older and maybe wiser?
    #125 Tony Douglas - Small ball help.
    #127 Shannon Brown - The Blazers need to be able to go small and still hold up defensively. While maintaining offensive spacing.
    #131 Nazr Mohammad - A good veteran role player, who has shown the willingness to be the #3 Center.
    #139 Michael Pietrus - CSNNW had an article about him... What they say is gospel....

    Marvin Williams, Stuckey, JNelson, Kaman are my suggested targets with our MLE or BAE.

    So Portland will need to score 150 every night to win?
