I don't see Baron staying and D.J. Augustin would be a perfect fit for their system

I wouldn't mind getting another PG, but only in the 2nd round. I think the Warriors believe Ellis is the PG of the future.
Greene would give them a nice athletic player that could play 3 and 4. It seems like their lack of depth was a huge weakness, and while Greene is too young to step in right away, it seems they have some nice young bigs already in Wright and Biedrins.
Biedrins-Wright-Greene-Ellis is a nice young foundation.

They should trade Belinelli and their 2nd to the Raptors for the 17th pick

They should trade Belinelli and their 2nd to the Raptors for the 17th pick Belinelli was kinda horrible. I mean he got no burn, but he absolutely doesnt work hard at all. and his defense is horrible. If we had a 2nd 1st Id want a guy like Speights.

I don't see Baron leaving. I read on espn insider the other day that he said he doesn't want to.

I think he wouldn't mind leaving, but no one will want him at 17 mill. The Warriors would deal him if the deal was right, but at this point they are stuck together.

I am guessing he said he didn't want to leave because he knows he is forced to come back

I think his agent is trying to get interest in him, but its going nowhere. I think he likes it in the Bay Area. I mean it is relatively close to home for him, and he'll probably never play in LA, so this is as good as it will get. Plus the fans do love him.
Mullin wants to give him a deal more similar to what Billups got(5 - 50?), but for less years Im guessing.

Congrats to BBS for giving the Blazers a backup PF with their lotto pick. THEY HAVE ALDRIDGE AND ODEN, THINK!

Congrats to BBS for giving the Blazers a backup PF with their lotto pick. THEY HAVE ALDRIDGE AND ODEN, THINK! The Blazers are pretty deep. Why wouldn't they take the best player available? With injuries, foul trouble and an 82 game schedule do you really think there biggest need is somewhere besides 4/5? I mean they could use a star PG but they wont get one here. SG/SF? They already have tons of youth in Roy, Outlaw and Webster. I think it's obvious the Blazers need to go big.

The Blazers are pretty deep in the frontcourt with Pryz, Frye, and LaFrentz on the bench. PG could be an option (Augustin), but Roy's always going to be the primary ball-handler, and he even played at PG pretty effectively this season. I think they can afford to take a risk at SF (Outlaw's all they have, I don't see Miles coming back) with Batum and leave him overseas to develop.

I think they can afford to take a risk at SF (Outlaw's all they have, I don't see Miles coming back) with Batum and leave him overseas to develop. please don't ever mention LaFrentz again, that guy is the most worthless piece of shit ever. Whenever he actually got a rebound, it'd hit off his knee or arm and go out of bounds. Useless. Blazers really need a big man believe it or not. Pryzbilla, Oden, Frye, and Aldridge is really all we have right now up front. Pryz gets hurt a lot and misses usually half the season. And he's very important, cuz neither Frye or Aldridge can play great post defense. Hopefully that's what Oden is for. So we need to add another big guy who can play defense. Give me DeAndre Jordan please. I don't think Love is the right choice, but I have a feeling Portland will take him. PG is another spot we could use help out. We have 3 (maybe 4 or 5 if Rudy comes and Roy plays point) point guards. We are deep, but none of them are great. At pick #13, I don't think there will be a PG available that has potential to be great. So we could either trade up, or just sign a PG next season. (Paul or Deron ) I really don't get why people think we need another SG/SF. Roy, Outlaw, and Martel are fine at SG/SF. They split minutes perfectly. Outlaw is getting really good every season. I think he could start now. And Martel is a really good scorer and he still has some potential left in him. Not to mention we have J. Jones who was one of the best 3point shooters last season. And if you add Rudy to that mix, we will be packed again. Gimmie a PG or a big man please.

that is why i say alexander. eh, Blazers don't really need him though. Outlaw is going to be our SF. If you listened to GM Pritchard and coach McMillen, Outlaw sounds like he'll be our starting SF next season. Then you got MArtel to backup SG and SF. And then Rudy plays SG, and Jones plays SG/SF. Just don't see the need for Alexander. My guess is Blazers trade up and get a guy like DeAndre Jordan. Or if they stay at 13, look for them to take Westbrook, McGhee , or maybe even DJ Augustin. If not, I really think Portland will trade the pick. Pritchard isn't the type of GM that just settles for something he's ok with. He goes after his #1 choice, and he gets it. If he can't get it, he'll get out of the draft then.
