    He probably is but he's coming off the injury and is still raw as fuck. Hill will be a good guy to play under for a couple seasons for him.

    Neil is holding out until he sees that the value of the pick is maximized and I think we're getting close.

    Hill is an average player. He gives them nice depth behind Exum but hardly someone to worry about.

    Getting Skal would allow us to move on from Meyers fairly easily. Saves us money.

    No reason for us to move into round 1 if FA is the desired path to getting better. Just eats up cap space

    Anyone have a great page on a site that lists all the draft day trades in one spot?

    Dang. It'd be nice if we had at least one measly rumor to chew on. Boring.

    I never said he was. It wasnt a criticism towards the Blazers. It was an observation of the other teams in the division and the assets they added for both now and future

    Sure. But the best values are hits in the draft. If you see a guy you like and have the resources to make it happen, you do it. I think Neil made it pretty apparent that that was his philosophy heading into tonight.
