    Seems like a lot at first, but our first round pick can't be THAT valuable.

    The Cavs giving up 2 1st rounders for Mosgov was big overpayment. Now the Nuggets seem like they are looking for another sweetheart deal like that for all their role players. The Cavs were in a tailspin and desperate to get a center to stabilize things. They better come to their senses in the next 24 hours.

    Taj Gibson, 26th pick
    Jimmy Butler 30th pick
    Tony Snell 20th pick
    Nikola Mirotic 23rd pick

    FWIW, I think draft picks are a useful way to add to your team.

    Not in PDX when you aren't drafting in the lottery.

    The point is, we can climb into the late first/early second region of the draft fairly easily. The idea of getting a solid contributor on a cheap contract is enticing, but it should not get in the way of adding a final piece to our puzzle. Adding Chandler will put us one step closer to the WCF. I'll take that over the 26th pick in a fairly weak draft.

    (FWIW, I'm not considering TRob and Barton at all be cause they're both gone this summer)

    It's not just a 1st pick though, it's two players in addition.

    two players who barely play now and will both leave for nothing at the end of the season.

    So cap space and a 1st pick. It's not "nothing."

    I like Tayshaun Prince for vet minimum better.

    it's not all that much to get a quality wing player who with his contract we can bring back next yr (Wes insurance) if we want or let go and it only costs us 2 mil

    Non-lotto first-rounders haven't been in our favor.

    The last decade:

    Segei Monia
    Joel Freeland (#30, finally showing signs of life)
    Victor Claver
    Elliot Williams
    Nolan Smith

    Man Elliot Williams was a baller until that shoulder injury. The dude couldn't catch a break. (well maybe he actually did.../rimshot). But man he could jump.

    I wish he had never got injured. :( was fun to watch.

    What's the Blazer history with him again? I remember the Knicks offered him to us cheap. What was the offer, or is there a link to back then?

    The rumored offer was Chandler for Rudy. Some here didn't like it (I loved it). For those that were opposed.... Hindsight is 20/20.
