    Here's a tweet concerning Jeremy Lamb from a year ago. Would not fit here either. "DraftExpress: Had heard some reports that Jeremy Lamb was on the trading block (along with Perry Jones). Lack of intensity and work ethic didn't fit in."

    I want GP-II. If the Blazers got Gordon Hayward I'd do backflips. I don't think the Blazers are willing to give up the assets that would be needed though.

    Plumlee won't land you anywhere near #3, maybe #10.

    The better bet would seem to be on Hawes. Still shot 37% from the three last yearin 18 minutes a game. Still only 28 years old. Had almost 9 rebounds per 36 and 3.5 assists per 36. I don't see the Blazers doing this. They also want to preserve as much cap space as possible.

    There are picks to be had, so if Portland sits this one out it'll most likely be because they didn't see anything they liked rather than not being able to get in.

    Actually Plumlee and CLE 1st would probably land is MIL #10 and Monroe?

    George hill just got pick #12.

    I think he definitely could get you #10ish this draft. Add in a future first and move up a few spots.

    Teams dont seem to value picks much this year outside of the top 2

    This better be an exciting draft day for us. I took the day off work so I can submerge myself in coverage. Lets make a Pippen-like trade and find a way to draft Sabas.

    dream draft for me would be trade to get Sabonis and then add late first early 2nd draft pick and get GP2. IMO both will turn out to be very good NBA players.

    Cle first, Plumlee, There's gotta be something else valuable on this team....right? and Jeremi Grant. 1.24 to Boston
    3 to Philly

    I will be very excited if we get both of them. Add one or two free agents and we're a force.

    Boston are not giving up on #3 that cheaply. They were looking for Butler and will be much better off with Okafor straight swap.

    Hawes' salary is less than Meyers' cap hold. If a max free agent is interested in coming to Portland, trading for Hawes would make renouncing Meyers more palatable for those who want a stretch 5.

    Yep and I'm a bit surprised but on the other hand Atlanta had to give up on a good PG in Teague, even if it was not a straight swap and had to go through Indiana. #3 is a different kettle. Maybe #7 to #8?
