    Lowry + 14 for the Drummin Pick.

    Select best available PG at 16 (Kendall Marshall) or trade tat pick back for boston's two and take marquis Teague an euro stash evan Fournier

    But it is Kings and Raptors. The article doesn't even mention Portland....

    Well, if Ford isn't pulling a Bill Ingram (yanking things out of his a$$), at least now we have an idea who they'd be after in the upper reaches of the draft.

    I'd yield Kyle and #14 OR #16 for the #5, maybe throw in a 3rd rate future draft pick MAYBE, but we could just put that other draft pick to good use. Trade-back action with the Celtics, something.

    Of course all this would be contingent on Drummond being available. Which he should be.

    As far as Henson or Harkless (is that how it's spelled?), the latter would be available, but Henson looks like he'll be gone by 10. (Big ole maybe.)

    Things are getting interesting.

    Of course, any little tidbit about the draft is interesting to me. I'm like a drunk sailor in a Phillipines bar. Ain't real picky. :)

    As far as flipping Drummond for Howard: PLEASE GOD NO.

    Orlando wants to stay competitive. I'd think they'd try to keep Howard first or trade for (an) established veteran(s) first.

    Maybe we can give one of them the 14th pick and the other one the 16th pick and they can draft Royce White twice.

    Please make it happen. Morey has proven that he has the ability to find good point guards from no where. Losing Lowry wouldn't be a big deal especially since we have to make a decision between him and Dragic anyway.

    Drummond + Dragic >>>>>>>>>> Lowry by himself.

    Totally what I was thinking and if Orlando doesn't want him I still say its worth a shot to see what he becomes. This will at least give us 2 good paths to follow. Either we get dwight or we keep drumond.
    Only thing that I'm unsure of is if we trade for dwight and doesn't want to stay with us beyond this season couldent we still sign and trade him for the best contract possible for dwight to get. I think with us if I'm not mistaken he can get an extra year on his contract. That we he gets what he wants and we could still cash in on him so to speak.

    Lowry+14+16 is a pretty sweet package. Martin and Dalembert could be used with the picks as well as alternatives. Id love to see us use Morris too.

    I think Lowry + #16 could possibly get this done. I think you have to take a chance on a guy like drummond. Even if he doesn't pan out, it's not like Lowry wants to be here anyway.

    We better not flip him for a one year rental of Dwight....while Dwight is good, he is coming off back surgery and we are not guaranteed more than a year.

    Keep Drummond - let others futz with Dwight.

    Now that the news of at least two teams being interested in Lowry, he is as good as gone.

    That would not be wise. Especially if that clown leaves after one year.

    I can certainly live with trading Kyle away to take a risk with Drummond. The way I see it, we can take a risk, risk being good or irrelevant for years to come, or we can keep Kyle and more than likely keep drafting 14 and be irrelevant for years to come.

    As much as I love Kyle, he is our only big value asset that can possibly net us a high draft pick and quite frankly I am willing to live with the risk, whether star or bust on the draft pick. Thankfully we have Gogi who actually seems genuinely interested in staying here (definitely a miracle) and hopefully we can lure Sergio Llull over here as well.

    Get it done Murray!

    They're after Beal....not Drummond. Then you send Beal to Orlando, they draft Teague at 19 and they can run out:

    Teague
    Beal
    Morris
    Smith
    Patterson

    plus whatever else they can get by flipping Martin.

    For some reason I feel like if we trade with Sac we will get Tyreke.

    Lowry + 14 + 16 for Drummond pick

    Martin for one of Boston's low first round picks. Use that pick to stash Fournier.
