Blazers Looking to trade one of their picks for Lowry or Millsap?

[Ilovetosuckdip]

With two lottery picks in the Draft (#6, #11) and possibly over $20 million in salary cap space, the Portland Trail Blazers have a bevy of options going into the offseason. Could Paul Millsap or Kyle Lowry be part of the equation? Millsap has previously been linked to the Blazers in a trade for their No. 11 overall pick. Other players rumored to be going to Portland have included Steve Nash and Chris Kaman,

The Blazers, Warriors, Raptors and Hornets are also looking at various options with their picks. I think the Blazers at No. 6 or No. 11 are the likeliest of that bunch to make a trade. They have interest in Jazz forward Paul Millsap and Rockets guard Kyle Lowry.

if you could get one of those two for the 11th pick, and draft either a center or a pg (whichever you didnt trade for) with the 6th, you are in good shape

Bad move. They just need to rebuild completely.

[shep33]

Yeah, don't do it Portland. Just draft Liliard at #6

[StarvingKnick22]

Milsap is overated

[Iron24th]

Bye Felton

[D-Will4Prez]

They're not gonna get either of these players for just the 11th pick. They'll have to give up the 6th, this draft class isn't that good.

id say definitely hold onto the 11th pick and trade it on draft night if anything. someone who they think wont make it to 11 might slip down and they'll be kicking themselves if they traded it away already.

If you have LMA, Batum, cap space, and two draft picks in this deep draft why do you need to rebuild completely?

Edit: now that I think about it Lowry is better then any1 at 6. I do that. Lowry LMA batum the 11th pick cap space they can go to work

So aldridge at C?

Because that is nowhere near enough a good enough core to beat the Thunder and LMA is a walking injury. He may never be the same player after his last surgery.

So you think they should get rid of Aldridge? Because he is 27 years old already and it doesn't make a lot of sense to surround him with a bunch of 20 year old rookies.

Really? He's one of the healthiest players that play for the Blazers I doubt a minor hip surgery is going to change that. And the Thunder's core may not even be around 2 years from now.

For once I agree with you.

He missed like 10 games and is only 27 years old. Last season was like the only year that he missed significant time since his rookie campaign.
