Man oh man. I would be excited with either. But I think I go with option 2. More scoring threats.

Ya they are both great teams and i cant pick 1.

Team 1 has youth and shutdown defense
Team 2 looks like it could have the best offense in the league in a few years

I think team 1 would be better for the long term and team 2 would be an awesome team sooner rather than later

[bojangles837]

Probably 1 for the defense

[takezor]

option 2 for me.

[HornetGuru]

Team 1 seems like the perfect monty team
Team 2 seems more fun to watch

Pek really is not an option, I don't know why he keeps coming up.

why not?

anyways u can change it to ryno at the 4 and davis at the 5. it makes no difference, basically its which PG, SG, SF combo do u like better.

Pek is a player who averages 16/10, basically, Portland has been speculated that they will offer him the max. Minnesota would match that. He has also been on record saying he wants to be in Minnesota and would consider taking less money to remain there. He's just well beyond gettable, from what I know, and I keep up with the Wolves almost as much as the Pelicans.

How in the world is Portland going to afford him again?

Oh ok I see, thats crazy, portland cant afford him and thats a HUGE ammount of money to have tied up in 2 big men with him and love. He must be willing to take a big discount. Wouldn't it have been great for Gordon to do that for us? jerk... jk... kind of...

Well, I thought about this the other day when I was reading Portland wanted to match. What I came up with is Portland's main asset, Batum. Minny wanted him very badly this past offseason. I suppose if they can't offer the Max, they would dangle Batum in a S&T.

Option 1.

The defensive prowess of that team gels perfectly with what Monty wants, and under that starting lineup, Gordon can be the focus of the offense with Porter and Bledsoe taking secondary ball-handling roles.

*Edit*

I need to focus on my computer science final... Ima try to stop readin lol

I would take the first be I would rather have this team

Eric Bledsoe / Brian Roberts
Austin Rivers/ Kevin Martin
Luol Deng or Danny Granger/ Darius Miller
Anthony Davis/ Ryan Anderson
DeMarcus Cousins/ Jason Smith

[donato]

The first for me.

[tdcreator]

I like,
Bledsoe, Rivers
Gordon, Oladipo
Granger, Aminu
Davis, Anderson
Smith, Lopez

Granger and Bledsoe would be free agents next year which if they don't play well we could free up a lot of money for 2014. If Porter is drafted you wouldn't need Aminu and if McLemore it would be the same lineup as Oladipo.

I'd still like to get another pick in the draft and get a center to groom. Withey, Gobert, or maybe Len will fall far enough to grab him.

The next time someone mentions granger on this board, I will punch an infant.

After watching Pondexter play well in Memphis we need Porter on this team more than anything, specially with more FA & trade chips at PG to explore that position other than the draft

You mean the guy from Grace King? He's still playing?

[da ThRONe]

I think Burke becomes a star so I'll strongly lean towards any team with him on it.

Although I think Bledsoe is probably a better pairing with Gordon. I like Trey as a prospect that much.

[aas3452]

The 2nd one would be my choice. In an ideal world, we land porter in the draft and sign tyreke Evans and Bledsoe in FA. These moves creates depth and competition in every position.

According to hoops hype, Portland only has roughly $42 on the books next season, if they decline the option on Pavlovic. Remember Roy's contract was amnestied, so he doesn't count against the cap. They should be able to make a couple salary dumps (I'd take Wes Matthews off their hands) in order to offer Pek the max if they'd like.

[Silverfoxx]

Im offically on the Trey Burke train and im not turning back. Worst Case scneario is Oladipo.

We can get a SF in the next class. Lets take care of our PG business right people please.

[AUSSIE_PELICAN]

I just cant see Burke dropping to 5 or 6 especially if Orlando has already stated that they would have taken Smart.
They obviously want a PG.

Oladipo would be my second option.
But if we miss out on Burke, Oladipo, McLemore and Porter then I say trade down for two picks.

Its highly unlikely Noel will slide to us. Ima keep saying it...worst case is Oladipo. Best case Trey Burke. Noel at worst will be taken by Cleveland. They love him.
