Wonder if there is a site/way of calculating the possibility of acquiring the Portland this pick.

Like a strength of schedule for them and the teams surrounding them that forecasts likely outcomes and their percentage of happening?

Seconded

I'm not saying it would be a smart move on Sacramento's part. It would be a dumb one. But they deserve each other.

Speaking of smart moves...

Yeah I think you get the idea of who they should consider drafting (unless they decide to go with a big man).

A less athletic, worse dribbling Tyreke Evans? Bold strategy Cotton.

I like the Dodgeball reference.

I could totally see Shabazz going to someone like the suns. He'll volume score inefficiently and become the next Rudy Gay.

I think we definitely receive this pick.

I don't know now. we needed Dallas to lose to Flop City but now Dallas and Utah are a game and a half up on Portland.

Yeah. Definitely disappointed in the Clippers. Utah and Portland play sometime this week.

Ah well, it will just make it a glorious day when we finally do gather all of these owed picks.

Dang, I kind of want Dario Saric for some reason.

Elden Payton · Post #139 » by **Elden Payton** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 5:35 am

Does anyone think that Portland could do what their fan suggested and offer us the pick regardless?

How much do they bank on improving out West with a deeper draft next season?

amcoolio · Post #140 » by **amcoolio** » Thu Mar 28, 2013 6:28 am

Honestly whats the chances of them improving to be playoff contenders in the future? They are running hard on the treadmill right now. How much cap space do they have?

Unless Lillard has Wade-like improvement after his first year I could actually see them drafting from 10-12 for a few more years and eventually rebuild, and maybe we'll have to wait til 15 or even the unprotected 2016 year
