Blazers trade picks with Utah.

The Blazers may not be finished. Around various boards I have seen rumors that they are going to pick at #6 for the Lakers and then have the Lakers pick at #10 for them and trade some expiring contracts from LA for Paterson or somehting like that.

I thought their PG was ex-Spur Howard Eisley.

Actually Keith McLeod started at PG for them for a lot of the year. Their point guard situation is/was a mess.

Eisley played in 74 games, started 1 at the point.
McLeod played in 53 games, started 47 at the point.
Randy Livingston started 4.
Lopez started 5.
Arroyo started 16.

I seriously doubt that is going to happen. Blazers fans hate the Lakers with a passion. We would string up the GM if helped them in some way

Thanks for the info tlong. By the way, of a deal your boys got out of Utah, especially if the future 1 isn't lottery protected in the next few years.

The future 1st round pick is Detroit's pick next year. I believe it is lottery protected, but that won't matter.

Utah must want to stay lottery bound. Why give up three first rounders if you're rebuilding like the Jazz are? Makes no sense unless they think picking at #3 will produce a franchise player this year.

Utah just picked Deron Williams.

[Pistons < Spurs]

8:43 PM: Rumors are still swirling that Patterson will be traded to Utah for Giricek when the new CBA takes effect.
