Yes I believe Drummond is more valuable then a tiny SG. The only way I would do that trade is if you actually thought Lillard was the superior prospect, then you are getting the player you prefer and a tiny asset. The #30 or Brandon rush is irrelevant when you’re talking about getting the best player in the top7 of a strong draft.
They certainly might be right now, but IMO that will even out as time goes on. I however am of the opinion that there is no way Drummond drops to 6 anyway, so this is really a moot argument
1080 The FAN @1080TheFAN #Blazers GM Neil Olshey shared his thoughts on Damian Lillard's workout, LaMarcus' rehab, and Crawford's contract.http://soundcloud.com/swagnation/neil-olshey-6-15-12 I can't listen to it at work, so can someone listen to this and let me know what he thought of Lillard and Crawford decision please
Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman #Blazers owner Paul Allen is in town for Lillard's workout. Allen had dinner with Lillard/front office last night and watched workout today.
Jay Allen 750TheGame @PDXjay #Blazers owner Paul Allen was at the Practice Facility today to watch PG Damian Lillard's workout.
This is good news IMO...Lillard looked unbelievable in his Sacramento workout vid! He can shoot very well, low turnovers, and decent size...His court awareness I feel can improve IF he puts in the work. He's also a real good kid. I hope we take him...he won't fall to #11 IMO.
