    Sounds like he really wants to use draft picks....... NOT trade them. Says that's what Larry and Paul wants.

    Doesn't think he needs coach before draft

    Also probably a good way to up the bidding for the draft picks. If you announce you want to part with them, I don't think it helps the market for the picks. I won't be disappointed if they keep them, but I wouldn't be surprised if this was a little bit of smoke and mirrors.

    Yeah, he couldn't be more clear in wanting to rebuild the team, but not nuking it by trading LMA.

    I like that he sees Nic and LMA as building blocks, and I'm going to guess that the Blazers will match any reasonable offer. If he gets a max deal from somebody, well, let him walk.

    Kaleb's body of work speaks for itself? Is there some head coaching experience that Canales has that I'm unaware of?
