No, the difference between 4 and 1 isn't worth Jack.

TO/PDX pick trade speculation
From draftexpress.com
Quote:
|
The only question now is whether the Raptors will draft [Bargnani] at #1, or will attempt to trade down a few spots (possibly to Portland for the #4 pick in a package with Chris Bosh’s good friend and ex-teammate Jarrett Jack) to pick up a valuable asset along the way.
|
Would you want this? I'm torn. First off, I'm not sure that Bargnani would make it to #4. If Portland did get number one I could see them interested in Aldridge or Bargnani (Morrison, Gay, Roy may all be available at 4). If Portland picks Bargnani #1, then the deal obviously doesn't work. If Portland picks Aldridge #1, the Chicago likely picks up Bargnani.
Assuming that Bargnani escapes the first three picks, would you trade JJ just for the right to move up? I don't think I would--not in this draft. Blake, maybe, but not Jack. |

Re: TO/PDX pick trade speculation
Nope not interested if it involved sending Jack away...I am not convinced that he isn't out PG of the future. IMO he and Telfair and Blake are all under consideration.

Re: TO/PDX pick trade speculation
NO! Jack has too much potential to trade to move up 3 spots in a draft like this.

Re: TO/PDX pick trade speculation
That's a tough one. I said no.
If there really was one player that the Blazers decided they had to have above the others, they would probably do it. Jack will be good, but he'll never be a star. One star is more valuable than a bunch of average to good players (it's easier to replace average to good players).
There is a lot of time and evaluating to go before the Blazers rank their priorities in this draft. For now it seems they honestly don't think there is that one sure-fire player. For now at least it seems there isn't that much difference between no. 1 and no. 4.
Today, I don't think the Blazers would do it either. But next month, who knows?
Now, if they'd take Blake or Dixon, (or Blake and Dixon) I wouldn't think twice before pulling the trigger.

Re: TO/PDX pick trade speculation
The Toronto speculation may have occurred before Bosh's comments. Chris didn't have too many good things to say about the idea of Bargnani, and I'm sure Toronto wants to keep Chris happy, so . . .

Re: TO/PDX pick trade speculation
To me, Aldridge vs Roy is worth Jack. I say yes. I'd rather trade Zach for filler and #1 though and end up with Aldridge and Gay or Morrison

Jack and #4 to Toronto for #1?
I think Toronto might do this deal. The question is, would Portland?

Re: TO/PDX pick trade speculation
Would Brandon Roy be a better point guard than Jack? He's a little taller, has good handles, good defense, good BB IQ, but a shooting guard mentality. If we could somehow move up for a big AND be able to replace Jack with Roy, then yes, I would trade Jack. Roy would be a better combo guard than Jack.

Re: TO/PDX pick trade speculation
From what I've seen of Blake I think he can be a very effective back up point guard. I know you guys have a high opinion of Telfair (I don't really share it but it's beside the point) so what's not to like about this deal? Jack was what, the 20-24th pick last year?

Re: Jack and #4 to Toronto for #1?
Not a good deal for us. If there was a clear-cut #1 that was a no-brainer, maybe. But I'd rather keep Jack and take our chances with the 4th pick that we'd get a player just as good.

Re: TO/PDX pick trade speculation
Because some of us like Jack and think he will make a good if not great PG.
His ankle was hurt all of last year and it was his 1st year.
