    I just can't see this being the case - that Givony is pushing one player so hard just to provide a postdraft PR justification for another team to later draft him.

    Seems more likely its agent driven or there's actually a bit of truth to it with teams trying to trade up and those leaks are out of the teams control.

    this is difficult....it's much easier to defend stupid things I said this morning rather than stupid things I said 2 weeks ago

    I think that would be dumb.

    Clingan could be at 4 for Atlanta, plus getting 8.
    Sarr paired with Wemby is … disturbing.

    Atlanta getting a player for right now and Clingan sounds more what they want. To get there will cost a team. It’s serious risk, but I want Portland — while keeping Sharpe and Scoot and future picks — to swing away.

    Very disturbing. Both move well for their size and can play inside and outside. Adding Sarr's 7'4 wing span to Wemby's 8' wing span would be interesting. They would have the next decade to add to that tandem.

    I'm not good at evaluating how prospects will translate to the NBA.

    But Sarr looks awful intriguing if he's quick enough to play 30 minutes at PF. I just looked at his Euro-stats: per36 he averaged 20 pts, 9 rebs, and 3 blocks. Yikes! Wemby and him might be an inside/outside combo that's never been seen on one NBA team. That's a twin towers that might actually dominate

    Sucks, but sometimes the luck of the draw. Detroit has been on the wrong end of that draw for years.

    if the Blazers don't land a top 4 pick, remember... Jody Allen will save some rookie contract money.

    Happy owner = happy fans

    Haven't seen Sheppard at 6 often.

    If that's the case perhaps he could even end up at 7 - or we could get him from Charlotte for a minimal asset.

    Would be tempted to do that and explorer trading away Scoot.

    I am good with Williams at #7
    I am good with George at 14, but if Holland is there then I would grab him instead.

    I think we need to take a chance on a potential 3-level scorer.
