Maybe I would think about it if they wanted to part with Gordon or Hinrich.

valid points. I'm not so sure that chicago wants to get the 1st pick so bad, that they'd be willing to give up Gordon or Hinrich (which would just make our backcourt just increase in #, but not in height).
I looked on chicagos roster, and honestly there aren't too many people that they'd probably be willing to trade in this scenario (AND I'm not sure they'd be willing to trade BOTH picks). They are very thin going into next year.
I'd much rather trade for a vet (something) but I'm not too interested in what is out there and most likely available. Who I would like, is probably available for far more than it's worth to Portland. Who Portland would like (whoever that is) is probably unavaiable for what Portland has or whats worth to Portland.
It's an odd cycle. We probably need vet help, but the vet help we can get isn't much vet help. The team needs talent (and talent that will play today) but getting that just makes the team younger.
