    There are not any players worth trading the picks for that POR can "realistically" acquire.....

    No there aren't, but that won't stop the management team from doing so

    Last year for example, it was widely reported that the Spurs where willing to trade T.Parker for a high lottery pick.

    And yet he remains a Spur

    It was widely reported that Rondo was readily available this year, and yet he is still a Celtic

    Shit, I'm hoping all the GM's drafting before us are HIGH so that he drops to us. I've been saying all along that Drummond was the player I want out of this draft.

    For the record, that draft wouldn't be too shabby. I'd be happy with Drummond at #6 (we won't be drafting at 6, but I'll dream for once), and 1 of the several players that that mock has as available at #11.

    I could see Drummond at #4. But no way he slides any further IMO.

    AD will go #1. I could see MKG and Beal being drafted ahead of Drummond, depending on the day, how the Top-3 works out in terms of draft order, etc.

    I could see Drummond sliding if he comes across passive in workouts. If he shows a lack of interest in the game, he could drop. Doubtful, but possible. Also, if Harrison Barnes and Beal both look like stars in their workouts . . .

    I don't know? Being passive and showing a lack of interest for the game still made Greg Oden a number one pick
