ok...care to find anywhere else then here where I said that. I don't recall ever saying anything about trading the pick until now.

The NBA isn't college....and I disagree with you. We just don't need another young project type player right now...and certainly don't need one who has a weak offensive game

You find a team with a disgruntled star who want's out and you might be able to swing a deal. I would rather have Rashard Lewis who is 26 for instance then any of the top 6 guys in this years

Well there is a name at least...but the list of "disgruntled star's" is a very short one....
and as I said previously, POR management has mentioned the importance of getting veteran players for quite awhile now, so this year is no different IMO...and a large part of the talk of "trading the pick" is coming from the coach and not the GM or Player Personnel Director....
I think trading away a top 3 pick is not a wise idea for a team in POR position..any player...even Rashard Lewis, traded to this team is not going to want to come here...POR needs to extricate themselves at leat in part from this mess before they can start to look to add vets like Lewis'...drafting in the top 3 of the draft provides POR with the best chance to do that IMO...
