scapegoat

so, i know it's kind of an awkward topic to bring up with the pistons on the cusp of the ECF, but i can't ignore the idea of lotto teams looking to move down. what value would the blazers really have in adding another rookie deal? they don't want to end up like the bulls. the pistons may be able to profit here by trading a vet (say, dice) to a team like the blaze who can benefit from a veteran to help out the bench immediately as they are definitely playoff bound next year. the pick is probably late-lotto, which would be just the place to land a guys like alexander, CDR, and hibbert that are suited just enough to help us now and have room to grow later. dice is integral to our current team for his toughness and rebounds, but is close to being eclipsed by maxiell and could lose time to johnson and samb next year. thoughts?
