    Ok, but that's a huge difference by trading two not real valuable picks for a 13th that would have considerable more value in a less than deep draft.

    Those later picks have value, especially when so many teams are looking to crunch salary.

    i see two options for Portland this offseason (short of trading CJ which we all can assume will never happen under Olshey)

    1. Trade for Blake Griffin.

    2. Use TPE to pick up an extra first and move up.

    Staying at 24, and spending what, $20m in tax on a bench player just doesn’t move the needle at all.

    So either get Blake Griffin, or make a move on draft night.

    Here we go--let's combine all the crazy deals into one. CJ to Memphis for #4/Parsons; Mo to NY for #9/Noah (plus Lee into the TPE); Turner/Aminu to DET for Blake. Trade machine approved, baby!!

    I wonder if he has a promise from someone (like the Blazers).

    For me, Hutchison is secondary in that tweet--Mitchell Robinson withdrew from the combine? The guy who never played a minute at Western Kentucky; the guy who said he was going to spend all year preparing for the NBA draft; the guy for whom nobody has any game film on beyond the high school level; the guy whose entire draft stock is based on his measurables--that guy is skipping the combine??

    Huge red flag to me.

    @SlyPokerDog This is grounds for banning! Personal insults are one thing. Personal threats are a COMPLETE OTHER.

    And I GUARANTEE you you won't be harming a hair on this senior citizen's head.

    Threaten older people much?

    I don't think they take him. They have Covington on a friendly contract.

    They signed him to an extension during the season and it isn't quite as team friendly. Plus other than one game against Boston he disappeared in the playoffs.

    I would almost bet enough money that mattered to me that Portland will get Hutchison somehow.

    Olshey caters to Dame, and Dame likes Hutchison

    Calm down man, that was not a threat... I don’t like how he calls everyone cupcake and thinks he is a tough guy... just want him to stop the name calling... seems like he is always trying to start shit

    And I have no idea what his age is

    No, YOU need to calm down with your PUNK ASS threats. IDGAF WHAT you like or want to happen. You can't be saying shit like you're gonna meet someone at a forum get together and "we will see who the cupcake is"

    Say what the fuck you want but that's a threat.

    Regardless his age, stop threatening people in the forum. Most of us don't like you anyway with the BITCH SHIT you post...

    How is that a threat??? I just meant to say he wouldn’t call me cupcake to my face... you seem to be ok with him instigating and name calling but I strike a nerve with you because my view of the team is different... get a life man... I could care less about anyone here... I’m only posting my thoughts on team to give people another perspective, not trying to make friends like you

    That promise is portland, I’d bet on it.

    Lillard connection

    Team need

    Four year guy with Olshey characteristics (work ethic, etc)

    It’s obvious. I wouldn’t be surprised if we even jumped up a couple spots to secure him.

    I don't get that though. He has the potential to jump into the teens with good measurements and a solid performance at the combine. Why back out because someone at 24 likes you?

    Except that Dame wanted him to draft Mitchell last year and he drafted Collins.
