    He doesn't require the same kinda lift as, say, Damian, ya know, when he's 6'11" with a big-ass wingspan.

    Kings may be interested in a #10/LMA swap.

    What in tarnation. Neil is scared to take chances, hence all the dumpster diving trades (sans Nurk - his hands were forced in that deal though), all we got was caproom ...spent on Evan Turner.

    Trade all three of our picks and Leonard and somebody else for LA. We win 60 games with a DAME/CJ/MOE/LA/NURK starting 5!

    Olshey might think its not worth taking a huge risk right now with the WHOREriors running wild. I can't really blame him.

    If that's the case then he may as well trade Dame and CJ for picks... Dame is 27 and will be around 32 by the time Warriors dominance ends

    Why does you worry about a guy vert jump that almost 6'11" the basket only 10 feet high and Giles got decent arm length so he doesn't need a real big vert. Now guards might need high vert not guys that really tall. I already said I would like Giles in Blazers uniform will I get that we will find out tomorrow.

    Seriously tho... if Neil thinks we have no chance to win now, why not offer Dame to Knicks for Porzingas... Neil has no excuse for not making moves... this is his fork in the road... we will never have more assets... either go for it now or go young... on top off all the assets we have there have never been so many picks and young stars available in trade. I'm sorry but if tomorrow is uneventful Neil has to go... losing picks for contracts to players he could have let walk last summer is unacceptable as a fan

    Switch OG with Bell than it would be excellent.

    Let me get this straight: you want to give Pop three chances to add future Parkers and Ginobilis?

    Heard the last part of the interview Dirt and Sprague had with Chad Ford today when they asked him Giles ceiling and he said Lebron James. I know he has knee problems(which supposedly got fixed and aren't problems anymore.) I know the Blazers history as well, but for a guy that could be this generations Lebron I would take him at 15 or 20.

    Ford said Giles is projected to go around 22.

    Ainge is likely going after Dennis Smith. Ainge might be the best drafting GM in the league.

    Smith, Tatum and Zach Collins are my picks to be the best players from this draft.

    The injuries scare me with Giles. A year ago Giles was considered a top 10 pick. The guy with injury issues seem to never really pan out

    On the Vertical facebook show they said this isn't really the draft you want to have 3 late firsts. Big drop off after 10.

    Woj says trying to bring an impact player around CJ/Dame/Nurk. Portland has shown an inclination to move up but haven't found anything.

    That's a horrible trade for the kings.

    Be happy for once.

    I disagree. I think there's guys who are projected to go early 2nd round who will have legit careers. Ojeleye, OG, Lydon, Cam Oliver, Dozier, Bradley, Motley, Bacon.....This draft is deep. A lot of those guys would have been 1st rounders last year.

    Maybe it's that he is wearing No. 22, but I watch Ntilikina's highlights and I see a lot of Clyde Drexler.

    I know we need bigs, but if that is there at 15, you don't pass it up. You accumulate talent and sort it all out later.
