Thats not that stupid. Than they will trade Hinrich/Gordon away for a decent scoring C or SG

We're talking John Paxson here. He'll do no such thing. He'll get a deal in place and wuss out of it. Every year he has the opportunity of adding the player that will fill their biggest need every year since trading away Elton Brand, a dominant inside scorer. Michael Beasley is the perfect complement for Deng and Noah. Hinrich isn't that bad.

Yeah Hinrich is good.. Joakim doesn't fit. That's why I don't know why they want Rose

?

The Bulls should pick Beasley, but they won't.

Who's going to take Hinrich? Their backcourt is stacked already, and here they go drafting another guard.

They need a frontcourt presence, and they aren't going that way.

It's a disaster.

Noah is a great fit if you put a scorer next to him.

Hinrich/?????/Deng/Beasley/Noah has the potential to be a great lineup. They just need to now put together some of the extra talent they have to get a good starting shooting guard (who can score).

hughes?gordon?

why? gordon can start i believe....hughes is a great defensive stopper...package both for a better one?

Gordon is a crappy starer, he is a much better 6th man. Hughes is not a great defender, he is more of a shooter and offensive person.

I knew the Blazers were gonna steal this draft because they had many picks and the way the draft board looked i just felt like alot of great talent was going to fall into their hands..also Kevin Pritchard is a good GM for the Blazers..only if they were in the East would this be a definite lock for aleast a 1st Rd Playoff win, but they are in the West and as we seen last year every game counts and they took it down to the wire so we'll see what happens. Oden + Aldridge are going to be a great tandem...Twin Towers all over again?

i don't know if they're a lock to make the playoffs, but they seem to be to me. They have just too much talent at too many positions, and the players are all good guys, too. They're dangerous right now. 50 or even 60 wins could be possible.

meanwhile ... they've drafted Joey Dorsey and Omer Asik ...
