    New Orleans 1st rounder for Anthony Randolph sounds intriguing!

    Just our luck, we'll miss the boat on this one too.

    I am sure the Blazers are having internal discussions about this one. That's what this team is great at doing

    AR has talent and is 21, he has far more talent than anyone we're likely to get in this draft, this is a no brainer for me, we should go after him. We have the just rec'd Oden injury exception - use it CHO! Also we have excellent vets to mentor him such as camby who he reminds many of.

    Probably way more talented than anyone you guys would pick assuming you're always in mid-late first or late lotto area. But the fact that the Knicks are willing to move him so fast after they just acquired him (and were in love with him) is concerning. When he was traded from GS for Lee it just seemed like giving up talent for a proven player despite the internal issues he had there. Now its becoming a trend.

    I'd definitely give NY our pick (with some sort of protection--- top 10 maybe) for AR.

    it's a no brainer IMO especially given how weak this yr's draft will likely be and we desperately need some front line youth with potential, and frankly if we prefer i bet we could easily swing him to OKC for Eric maynor who I like a lot

    why is it that the blazers always seem like they are on the outside looking in while teams like houston seemed involved in every decent trade

    I was thinking about Randolph as soon as I heard about the exception and again before I logged in today, so of course I think your idea is brilliant. :)

    I'd happily spend the exception on a prospect.

    We also have the exception from the Bayless deal that could be used in case we are targeting another player that fits closer to the 3.4 mil exception we have from Oden. Just as an asset I think he would be worth more than the draft pick. I'd try and make it a stipulation that it would be the lesser of our 2 first round picks also.

    Just because a team isn't in the news doesn't mean they aren't in discussions. Often times some of the information put out there is planted by agents just to generate more interest or even the holding team to try and up his value.

    cause he's very good and stuck behind Westbrook and won't get a chance there, IMO there is no one better in the draft we have a chance at and no one better as a young PG who has done well in limited time in NBA games and is likely "gettable" - so how bout using your brain for a change instead of a useless reply

    your ignorance is exceeded with this dumb "lets trade for eric maynor nonsense'

    eric maynor is another blazer favorite. makes sense why you like him. cant shoot, average passer, has potential, and overated defender. all things blazer fans look for.
