POR-MEM: another conditional draft day move

[Tim Lehrbach]

Instead of Aldridge for Conley or our pick + goodies for their pick, how about they just go ahead and draft Rose, Bayless, or Gordon, and the Blazers send them the #13 (or whatever) pick and Frye for Conley? They can have Jack, too!

There's already a thread about rebounding weaknesses on
the team and there's talk about trading Aldridge for Conley???

That wouldnt necessarily hurt our rebounding. We arent asking Conley to fill Aldridge's role, so you really dont compare the two. Frye has been a much more aggressive and consistent rebounder than Aldridge this year, and if he moved into Aldridge's spot, I think our rebounding would improve marginally, at the cost of greater offensive and defensive ability/potential.
