I don't like this as a Blazer fan. OKC needs to lose Harden to free agency. Getting Beal for Harden means they actually get value for him. This can't happen.
Okay, so the way to prevent it is to trade up and take Beal... and keep him. Supposedly the Spurs are also interested in him too...
I would still like to "buy" SAC's #5. Or trade for it. With #5, 6 and 11, we can make Draft Night pretty exciting. We may see MKG and Drummond fall to 5 & 6. Then we could take Marshall at #11. We could packge 6 & 11 and move up to #3 (maybe #2 if we threw in Wes) and get Beal and maybe even TRob - which is my dream draft.
There is a great way to kill your franchise. High Usage guys with PERs in the mid-20s are elite players in the NBA.
