    Why would the Hawks, with Young and Huerter in their backcourt, trade the 6 for Simons and 16? Maybe if SImons had shown anything this season. But he's now out 2 of his rookie years on his contract.
    Using a pick with Zach to move up in a worse draft than the one he was in, and still being just beyond where you might want to be would be comically bad and I would hope N.O. would be fired immediately for it. If there was a definite target at those spots? Maybe.

    generically, Zach + 16 for 7 would be a decent deal. But it's not if this draft is as bad as some are saying

    I might do it if Deni Avdija or Obi Toppin where going to be available.

    Demar Derozan is nowhere near the defender Jimmy is, but all the tools are there offensively. He's elite at drawing fouls and shooting midrange jumpers. And he actually creates offensively at the same level as Butler. Think we just saw the template for non-3pt shooting wings.

    Wonder if we can make him fit here and implement a motion oriented, balanced system with him and Dame here.

    I don't think we can replace a shooter with a non-shooter. Jimmy B. worked for the Heat because of all their shooters. Plus, if we're replacing CJ, I want a REALLY GREAT defender.

    PLUS: #21 this year (Tyler Bey!) and another first.

    I actually think Philly might go for this (even if Olshey wouldn't) just because they've proved they're all-in by getting Doc Rivers, so money's no object. They could then follow it up with this:

    Ben Simmons would never need to take another shot (which might suit him fine).

    I’m not sure there is a player in this draft worth trading up for. None of them are gonna put Portland over the top.

    That would require Terry Stotts to do his job. Doubtful.

    Agreed. Portland is not anywhere close to contending.
    We need to add a Top 25 player (all-star level) player to even get close to contending.
    Only adding a Top 5 player in the league would put Portland 'over the top'.

    Meh... There are a couple who could be worth trading up for. It depends upon who the target is & acquisition cost.

    I didn’t say that. A team doesn’t accidentally get to the conference finals. My point was more so that this draft class doesn’t have any real impact players, at least not for Portland.

    What the Blazers need is an influx of talent. Is the 16th pick going to get us that? Then trade up or out. Treading water isn't going to get it done!

    Never insinuated that you stated that.... I just agreed with you that none of the players in this draft will put Portland over the top.

    My point was that Portland isn't close to contending. To act as if they were, would be foolish... They need a lot more talent regardless of where it comes from - even if it means trading up in the draft.
