Ok that's it squad...let's all go to sleep and wake up midnight July 1st

[Derek Bodner]

So while we have everyone here... or most... who's the #1 target come July 1st??

Trade.

I'm not enamored with anyone outside of Brand.  As unpopular as it is, I might like Gordon for this team.

[TheGuiltyParty]

By the way, Portland's rookie class looks like this: Oden, Bayless, Arthur, and Dorsey

I think they'll be pretty good.

Throw in their Euros and they probably can build two good squads.

Draft is over... time to move onto other threads. I'll check back here so I expect to see you fellas here as well.

How many Gordon's are there in the league?  I mean, Eric and Jamont just came in tonight.  I guess one of them's obtainable, but clearly I'm not talking about an undrafted free agent.

[TheGuiltyParty]

Ben Gordon would certainly bring a scorer's mindset to the team but I have to question whether a Gordon/Miller backcourt is a good thing. You're the one throwing this idea out there... what are your thoughts on this???

[Westbrook36]

Arthur prob won't stay in Portland.

[TheGuiltyParty]

Arthur prob won't stay in Portland.

I thought he was getting moved to Houston. Didn't that get reported at some point??

[KnuxFuture]

Arthur prob won't stay in Portland.

Yep Rumor has it that he's going to Memphis,

The trade is HoustonTrades Batum to the Port, Who Trade Dorsey to Hou and Memphis gets Aurtur and gives Greene to Hou.........it's just the rumor.

What a crap night for Authur..........

[TheGuiltyParty]

Wait... Arthur is going to end up in Memphis. Wow. This is a crap night.

[Westbrook36]

I'm really starting to get annoyed at Portland. Not because of all their deals, but because every year they go out and do this and that and everyone is like "OMG THEY ARE GOING TO BE SO GOOD AND WIN THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!" and then they never ever do... and never will.

I hate unwarranted hype and whenever a team that never has done anything gets a lot of hype then I have to start hating on them. Just is embedded in my DNA.

[TheGuiltyParty]

BAM!!! Mayo just got traded for Love in a MAJOR deal!!! WOW!!!

[anklebreaker]

Tough to deal Mayo... but a frontcourt of Al Jefferson and Kevin Love should be a force for years to come
