The Portland Trail Blazers have agreed to a deal with the New Orleans Hornets to acquire the 27th pick in the draft for cash considerations, a Blazers source told ESPN.com.

What were the Hornets thinking?

Hornets is the Suns v2.0.

I love having Paul Allen as our owner.

Maybe the Hornets didn't like anybody in the first round and wanted some extra cash??

BTW, I don't think the Blazers are going to keep this pick. I think we will use it to spice up a trade to either move up in the draft, get a better SF, or get a legit starting PG.

Just a hunch.

Portland will need a football roster to stash all those players they acquired these past couple off seasons.

Or some suckers, er I mean Teams who will let us move up on Thursday.

So a New Orleans team in need of some quality depth trades away their only 1st round pick in a deep draft for money? I have to question their motives on this one.

They should move up for Jerryd Bayless.........hes an excellent player off the ball and an excellent spot up shooter, thats perfect next to Roy........he can also shoot off the dribble, get to the FT line ....man im excited if they do that and thats not even my team.

im trying my hardest to not just homer out, but man... this is lookin like its gonna be a hell of a draft day for us

i guess the wiretap about us wanting to move down has been fulfilled...

anybody else not want there late first? big pauls wallet is wide open

Here we go with Portland's shopping spree

Hornets really took over for Phoenix well... selling the pick for cash considerations, and lacking depth.

We should have done that trade. Cash for the Hornets pick, then we can move up in the draft and get a 3rd scorer.

they're probably going to use it for some blockbuster trade

"I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America, and to the Republic for which it stands: one Nation, under Paul Allen, indivisible, with Liberty and Justice for all."

I wanna see a big trade in this year's draft, so this is a good trade!

Hornets are becoming the Suns. They're not serious about winning championships. Chris Paul will not resign with them when he becomes a free agent.

So the Blazers can sign him with all of that 09 capspace right?
