I think Toronto could do better than Mihm, the #30 pick, and the #4 pick for the #1 pick.

Trader Ed

agreed

but actually they are moving down from #1 to #4.... not giving up the #1 on its own

so they are getting good value to draft the man they think will still be available at #4

I really don't see how we could take back so many players. We have 12 roster spots with 3 draft picks at the moment. That would put us at 17 players on a 15 man roster if I'm not mistaken.

Reep

Hmmm, I'm not sure about that one. The difference between 1 and 4 isn't that great. Toronoto would get a big body to rebound and set picks for Bosh, and get almost the backcourt player they didn't want to take with the first pick, and get a role player with 30? I think that is more than fair.

I'm not sure what the Laker's motivation is. Are they thinking of playing Kobe-Miles-Odem at the 2-3-4? They'd be giving up most of their backup front court (Mihm and Cook). That would mean starting Kwame at C and having only Bynum and Turiaf as backups. Bynum still looks a couple years away from contributing, so that leaves only Turiaf backing up both Brown and Odem. Would Miles be worth it? Is there any chance he could understand and work in the triangle? I don't think so.

Ed O

Maybe. My initial reaction was to say that I didn't like it, but Portland gets:

-- to move up to the first spot
-- a backup 4 on a rookie deal
-- an expiring contract

IF Portland is going to move Miles at any cost, I suppose there could be worse outcomes. I don't value the jump from #4 to #1 that highly, however, and I'm not as eager to trade Miles as almost everyone else on the planet, so I'm not a huge fan of the deal...
