I think he is as good as we can get. A forward that can create his own shot with a 7'3 wing. He can even play some center.
Some #3 picks MJ Melo Dominique Wilkins Billups McHale Pistol Pete Grant Hill Reggie Miller Bob Cousy Penny Hardaway I'd be happy with anyone like any of them.
Yeah and I don't think you trade the number 3 pick for as good as we can get. If it's not for a bonafide superstar you have to keep that pick imo. But we shall see.
True we are not getting a superstar, but he is a star. But again his contract worries me just as Brown's does
#3 to me means we trade it for a vet to keep Lillard happy. Any player for the #3 will help, but not make us a top contender. This is unfortunate because the only chance, and a slim one at that, is to keep #3 and add to Sharpe and some other youth currently on the club as bench players and deal Lillard to have a more complete team and run a more motion offense that we desperately need. Losing Lillard drops our star power, but could increase are overall talent. It is a gamble, but the status quo hasn't exactly worked.
And we could get just as good of a player on a rookie deal. It's a gamble obviously but we don't exactly have the cap room especially with Jody dodging the tax every season.
My opinion is you are underestimating Siakam. And your assessment of Jody wanting to dodge the tax every year is ridiculous. But I do agree that we might have a star in 3-4 years if we keep the pick
Yeah I probably am underestimating him. I'd just hate to trade our #3 pick for a potential one year rental.
I want one of the twins. Amen is better at playmaking, point of attack defense, athleticism, power. Ausar is better at shooting, help side defense, handles, finesse. To me, Amen can be Pippen, Ausar can be Brown. Two possibilities that I’d like to see. -Trade #3 for #4 and #20, draft Amen at #4. -Trade #3 for #6 and #11, draft Ausar at #6.

Finding the balance between team needs and talent is something the front office will have to consider at this slot, as Portland finds itself at No. 3 -- in what many consider to be a three-player draft -- with a player in Henderson who isn't a natural fit on its roster with franchise stalwart Lillard. Nevertheless, Henderson shows incredible flashes of ability accelerating out of hesitation moves, driving and dishing, and finishing with unique explosiveness and body control, as well as real shot-making prowess, something the team will surely be excited to add." 4) Amen 5) Jarace 6) Ausar 7) Cam 8) Black 9) Dick 10) Hendricks 23. Portland Trail Blazers (via New York) James Nnaji Barcelona C Age: 18.7 Nnaji's role has fluctuated dramatically for Barcelona this season, keeping his stock in check as scouts have struggled to predict when they can get eyes on him. At 6-11, with a 7-4 wingspan and exceptional mobility and explosiveness, it's hard to find a more gifted prospect in this class from a physical standpoint. Portland could very well be looking to add a young big man to its array of talent to pair with the often-injured Jusuf Nurkic. Nnaji isn't ready to shoulder significant playing time, but the Trail Blazers, who struggled to get stops this season, might be attracted to the defensive upside he brings.
Miller. If you are small, you have to be really really really good like Lillard Curry Iverson good. You can't teach height
