    Walker I certainly wouldn't grade an A... guy shot a career high from 3 and it was 29%. He's not a rotational player at all right now. Its a good pick because you don't expect anything at pick #57 but for all we know he'll be out of the NBA in a few years. If he becomes a rotational player then its an A; but Walker isn't close to that right now.

    I've missed your trade prop ridiculousness. It's so nice to see it again.

    The Wizards deal is the only one of those that has a prayer of happening.

    Atlanta wouldn’t like Ayton? We can add a 2026 1st to sweeten the pot;

    and Washington wouldn’t want Ant + 7 for 2?

    and Houston wouldn’t want Grant + 14 with us taking contracts off their hands, for the 3rd?

    We shouldn’t trade any picks for the next few years, so no I wouldn’t trade a 2026 pick for the first.

    Houston doesn’t have any big contracts they want to move.

    maybe Adams & Jeff Green

    Brogdon + Reath + 7 + 34 for Adams + Green +3?....pipedream?

    probably a major pipedream if they can get Mikal Bridges for 3

    They're more likely to trade Trae and rebuild than trade the #1 pick

    Except that's not what I said, thus you changing the argument to side step what I actually did say.

    Hmmm not so sure ATL will take Scoot to pair with Trae. I still do think they take Sarr

    Some sleuthing on social for you guys....

    Risacher is among the players doing a proday/ interview/combine in Treviso, Italy.

    A member of the Blazers training staff posted pics on his stories from a train station in Treviso.

    Between Chauncey and Joe talking about the need for more scoring after last season, I say they go with Knecht or Reed if he falls. They will be trading Brog & Simons eventually anyway. Then you have your new three guard rotation. OR, they could pkg their picks & Players and move up to one or two. Only if there is a player they are really high on.

    I have flip flopped so many times over the last month between Cody Williams, Holland, and Buzelis. I admit I am letting the mocks influence me which is not a good idea this year. All three of those guys are said to be decent defenders, so if offense is the goal I think I would take who is available between Cody and Matas.

    As much as I want to get excited about the draft and I am -- I also want to know who is going to teach them how to do good shit on the court since Billups does not seem to know how to do that to this point. If we do not get good coaches on the team to make up for Billups weakness then I am not sure it matters WHO we draft. --

    Do not want to be a downer but it's the truth.

    I do have my favorites for 7 and I would say my Top 5 in no order are at this time are

    1) Holland
    2) Buzelis
    3) Salaun
    4) Castle
    5) Clingan

    but If you forced my hand and asked me my Top 2 that I am hoping who are there for the Blazers then I would say

    Castle or Salaun --

    Castle would be great next to Scoot and then we can trade Ant who I do like but like Dame it's time to move on from to start a new foundation IF this team really is in a rebuild mode
