Ok I'm back on board with Milwaukee taking Bogut. But I think really a lot of us expect to see Atlanta trade down with The Bobcats so they can get their PG of choice so this poll is already questionable. If Marvin Williams were on the board at #3 I think Portland would be all over him. I took Granger over Green because I think the Portland brain trust will be very cautious and image conscious and will opt for the surest thing at SF over the 'potential' of a high school player. They very well could trade down with a team because there will be a lot ofpressure for teams to acquire one of the top 2 PG.s This pick could yield them a lot value.
I think they'll trade down, but not with the Cats. They have too many holes to fill to give up 2 really high draft picks. Instead, I think they fall somewhere in the 7-10 range and pick up another mid 1. Granger should still be around for them then, which is who I think they should be targeting.
i don't think nash wants green, and they don't need paul. trading down would be the best option. the cats won't give them 2 lotto picks just to move up 2 spots. maybe the raps or jazz would move up to take paul. because the pick will most likely be traded, PAUL will be taken.
IMO, Portland will take either Green or A. Wright from A&M because they need a quick shooting guard. IF they keep the pick, my money is on Wright.
They should trade the #3 + NVE for Pierce, that seems to be the rumor going around. But I like what that does for both teams: For Boston: They get rid of Pierce who has turned off a lot of fans and Ainge. They get a really high pick and could pick anyone from a replacement in Green or a really good PG in Chris Paul or Deron Williams. They also get a nice 13M right off the books, literally. For Portland: They need a shakeup and Pierce would certainly be that. He would bring back a lot of excitement to the town and putting him next to Telfair and Randolph would make them playoff contendors and a really good team for the future.
THe third pick will either be Paul or D Williams (whoever Utah wants), unless M. Williams is there for Portland to keep. Portland will take M. Webster with the 6th pick from Utah and then some foreign guy with the 27th pick they'll get from Utah.
Martell Webster should be on there instead of Felton. Last year Nash just took Seabass rather than trading down and getting him later.
