    OK--here's my notes:
    • Likes the city--been here before, but this is first time he's been here when it was sunny
    • Said he shot well in the workout, then described various aspects of workout
    • Doesn't expect to have scoring responsibility early
    • More of a playmaker than people give him credit for
    • People ask about the foot injury, but he says he's better/stronger now than he was before the injury
    • Hasn't received any promises, but says it would be great if he did
    • Enjoying the draft workout process
    • Expects to be able to compete and get minutes right away in the NBA
    • Would be good in P&R with Aldridge--would feed him down low, but make teams pay if they double him
    • Brings length and lateral quickness on the defensive end
    • Not as aggressive of a scoring PG as Rose/Westbrook--more like George Hill
    • Already hates the Lakers. :cheers:
    • Has heard a lot about the Portland fan-base. Watched the POR-DAL series last year, knows how crazy we are

    I'm getting the feeling that this is the guy Portland is really looking at, at #6. If we take him, we'd probably start him right away, according to Olshey's comments. No more stashing our youngin's like Nate used to do.

    So who would we get as a FA? PG appears to be the strongest position in this years FA crop, but would we sign a PG to a lucritive contract if we got Lillard?

    Perhaps they'll just resign Hickson/Batum and get a middle tear center like Kaman, McGee. We wouldn't be world beaters....but perhaps better than last year? We could save some space and make a lop sided trade.

    Lillard/Flynn
    Batum/Williams
    Matthews/Babbit
    LA/
    McGee/Hickson

    McGee is a knucklehead but he would give this team a lot of what we need. Shot blocking and rebounding. I actually like that line up quite a bit. I would really like to see one more shot creater in that group though. But if our money allowed this and assuming the other top options are gone I wouldnt be unhappy at all.

    No way DEN is letting McGee go....

    That is a lottery bound team. So, who do you like in the 2013 draft?

    Really? I don't see why Denver couldn't be out-bid for his services. He was their backup center.

    If Lillard pans out it wouldn't be an lottery team for long, but if we can't lure a FA, this team could use another lottery pick.
