  1. We might be in the minority relative to the consensus; but, I'm completely with you and all you've said about Amen!

  2. If we want amen might as well trade back to 4 to Houston and try and get a few peices like Tari Eason if possible right? Good wing defender who can play the 3 and 4

  3. I wonder though what is the best package we could get from Houston or even the pistons if we wanted to trade back a couple spots

  4. I m really high on Amen, he can defend from 1 to 4 and he can run the floor offensively.
    Herb Jones could be a very good target even if I don't think it's realistic but New Orleans have a bunch of forward and maybe Daniels will see his minutes increase next year.
    Jones is a low cost OG such as DFS.
    If Portland choose to trade down (3 for 6&11) I'd like this scenario:
    POR : 6&11+Okeke
    ORL: 3+Little
    POR : Simons+11and maybe 23
    TOR: OG+Flynn
    Use all the exceptions for a backup C (Reid, Bryant, Hayes) and BPA between Bruce Brown, Lonnie Walker or at least Burks

  5. If they were the same age, who would you pick between Wemby or Hakeem pre-NBA? Why?

  6. Long-term after next year could you see Dame/Sharpe/Amen/Grant/Nurk etc being the starting lineup with Ant shifting back to a 6th man role?

  7. If Sharpe was in this draft and had dominating stats as a Wildcat frosh; for 3rd pick, who would you pick between him, Scoot, Miller or Thompson? Why?

  8. If the blazers want Thompson shouldn’t they trade down to fourth with Houston and get some additional value out of it? Houston would obviously understand what the blazers are trying to do, but would it matter that much? The blazers could just play poker and say “if you’re not trading with us we’re taking Miller at three” (assuming that Houston wants Miller)
