But knowing Masai, there won't be a trade and it will be one of Wallace or Bufkin.

We have to shed salary, so OG is the player other teams want. Plus, we need some 3 point shooting, just in case both FVV and GTJ walk.


I suggested a few months ago that we explore trading for a package centered around #10 and Jaden Hardy.
And what are we giving up that has enough value, and such a low salary? Scottie? Naw.

It doesn't really matter anyway. Dallas isn't trading #10 until they know if they are bringing back Irving.

Or do you think Cuban would trade for OG to try to entice Irving to re-sign with the team?

I appreciate these tweets. Portland followed the path we should have gone down.

Excellent upside but raw still as he's 18. Doesn't fit on current roster.

Portland at 3, Dallas at 10, even the Rockets at 4 could make moves with their pick. Some trade up scenarios in play.


also ORL could package 6 + 10 to move up

I think he's the worst or 2nd worst player in the draft. I would not be eager to sign him in a world where he goes undrafted.

This front office might be washed. Hopefully they prove me wrong this offseason. Major fork in the road ahead.

If you want a top 4 pick in this draft you're going to have to move Scottie. Scottie for Miller or Hendricks would be a lateral move but would at least balance our lineup if you were to go down that route.


Okay then let Dame be pissed and they are forced to trade him away instead.

Why do we care?

Dame will be pissed because they didn't trade for an overpaid and overrated player? If they want to move that pick, they'll get someone better with more term.

Dallas drafts Cason Walllace, July 1 packaged with THJr and Davis Bertans for Fred Van Vleet, Malachi Flynn and Precious Achiuwa.

PG FVV - Kyrie - Flynn
SG Kyrie - Bullock - Hardy
SF Luka - JoshGreen - Bullock
PF Kleber - Achiuwa
C McGee - Achiuwa

Lillard + Siakam is more sure thing than Scoot, Sharpe and Simons.

Its about age at this point....Lillard is on his final stretch and Siakam is entering his peak years....You also have to take salary into it...2 players will be max contract players and 2 will be on rookie salaries .....Siakam/Lillard might win you a round but thats about it....I don't see a deep run with them...

Also Siakam is going to be a free agent i doubt Portland trades a top 3 pick for a guy who will be able to walk in free agency....Just does not make sense

They are already letting Lillard in on the whole front office business. Lillard has pull in the decisions the front office is making. If that’s the case, they are not betting on Simons and Scoot.

Dream scenario leaving the draft.

Scoot at #3 and Leonard Miller at #13.

Coulibaly reminds a lot of OG. But faster twitch, thinner and a more fluid athlete.

If he's really 6'8, I don't see how we pass him if he's available.

He plays with a ton of force for a thin guy and really gets after it on defense. He plays with a nice amount of tenacity. Also shows good adjustment in midair finishing through contact at the rim. His ability to improvise bodes well for him.
