mavs-blazers trade

[Spurtacus]

It's the Batum situation all over again. They're hopping infront of Sacramento so they can grab Casspi.

Ah, yes. But this seems like a move you would do during the draft.

Lakers need to do something now.

This Mavs-Blazers trade is definitely going to start the dominoes in the West.

Wtf??? Lol

All it means is that Dallas thinks they can get their target at 24. Doubt the other picks will ever make the roster, so what is this about?

More chances to find a draft steal.

Blazers traded three picks to move up two spots? Am I missing something?

I know, right. They must really have their eye on someone, and/or didnt need their next 2 2nd rounder to fill their lineup. Just seems like it would be at least a top 20 pick the blazers would be getting to do this.

Just wondering, Is this the biggest draft picks only trade?

With one swift move, the Mavs are a force to be reckoned with yet again

Time to start mentioning us in the same breath as LA, Orlando, Cleveland and Boston again.

i just about pissed myself with these posts

[clambake]

from the 22nd pick to the 24th pick...........i'm pleased they're showing some caution with this draft approaching.

[ShoogarBear]

This will get the Blazers under the draft-pick cap.

[kobyz]

i think the Blazers are hoping for Blair to fall to #22 pick

[Killakobe81]

Meanslittle right now But my guess is Blazers have their eye on someone and our manevuring to get them ...

[monosylab1k]

Isn't this the kind of trade you make during the draft? Like, after you've ensured your target is still available? Just seems like it would have made more sense for the Blazers to let the Mavs select their guy at 22 THEN do the trade.

Spurs should trade into the 21st spot. Then give Pritchard the finger

Mavs need to bring back Daddy Nelson

-Plenty of NBA teams are trying to figure out the motivation behind Portland packaging the #24 pick with the #56 pick and a 2010 second rounder to Dallas just for the sake of moving up two spots to 22. Who are they targeting?

The likely answer to that is, why wouldn’t they? Portland has too many draft picks as it is and not enough roster spots. All they did was acquire a slightly more valuable asset, one they can now use to try and move up even higher.

It’s widely accepted that Portland would love to get their hands on Ty Lawson if they can. The problem is that Indiana seems very high on him at 13, and Philadelphia is also extremely interested at 17.

I think they're going to use this pick in a trade.

[BUMP]

YEAH DONNIE!
