Here's my fantasy...

Get the #1 pick, draft Oden.
Trade Zach for Joe Johnson.

1) Get Richard Jefferson...

Portland Trades
-Zach Randolph
-Lottery protected 2008 1st round pick

New Jersey Trades
-Richard Jefferson
-#15 pick in the 2007 draft

DRAFT DAY 2007
-Trade #6 to Seattle for #8 and #31(Oden, Durant, Wright and Horford are all gone by #5. After those four players the talent level of the next 5 best players is relativley equal. Grabbing the 31st pick gives us more ammo to pull out another 2006 like draft)
-Trade #31, #36 and Indiana's 2008 2nd rounder to Philidelphia for Denvers 1st rounder, #18.(The Sixers have many holes to fill so trade for quantity)

8th Pick: Roy Hibbert C (20 years old, 7'2, 275lbs)- Second best center in this draft. His footwork is great for a 20 year old giant, he is a intimidating defender and can rebound well. His speed is not great, but he has good quickness in the post. He can throw a nice outlet pass to initiate the break while also being a beast in the half court offense. Drafing him allows Aldridge to move to his natural position of PF and gives us a PF/C combo that is stronger and taller than nearly every other combo in the league. Defensivley, Hibbert and Aldridge would be a dramatic improvement over what we have now. STATS: 26.4mpg, 12.7ppg, 6.9rpg, 1.1apg, 2.5bpg, 67% FG, 69.8% FT, 1.2 TO's, 2.8 PF's

15th Pick: Corey Brewer SG/SF (21 years old, 6'9, 185lbs)- Potential lock down defender who is very athletic and developing a jumper. He is a total team player, and can play both SG and SF without loosing much effectiveness. Also makes some nice passes. This team has a blatant lack of peremiter defense, and Brewer is a near lock to make a impact on the pro level in that category. STATS: 28.4mpg, 13.1ppg, 4.7rpg, 3.1apg, 1.9spg, 47.5% FG, 71.4% FT, 31.1% 3pt[.9 of 3], 2.6 TO's, 1.9 PF's

18th Pick: Josh McRoberts PF/C (20 years old, 6'11, 245)- Might be an unpopular pick, but the Blazers can always use a talented big man. Very athletic and can play PF and spot minutes at C. He would be a nice change of pace guy when we take Hibbert out of the game. Would work very well with Sergio in the 2nd unit. STATS: 35.3mpg, 13ppg, 7.9rpg, 3.5apg, 1.2spg, 2.5bpg, 50.2% FG, 66.4% FT, 2.4 TO's, 2.5 PF's

41st Pick: Aaron Brooks PG (22 years old, 6'0, 160lbs)- Dan Dickau sucks. Brooks isnt ever going to be a starting PG, but might develop into a decent offensive spark off the bench. We lack that right now after dealing Dixon.
STATS: 36.9mpg, 17.5ppg, 4.3rpg, 4.3apg, 1.4spg, 45.5% FG, 84.3% FT, 40.1% 3pt[2.3 of 5.6], 2.5 TO's, 2.5 PF's

53rd Pick: Sumeuropeanguy- A future all star.

2007/08 Roster
PG- Jarrett Jack/Sergio Rodriguez/Aaron Brooks
SG- Brandon Roy/Martell Webster/Fred Jones
SF- Richard Jefferson/Corey Brewer/Ime Udoka
PF- LaMarcus Aldridge/Josh McRoberts/Travis Outlaw
C- Roy Hibbert/Joel Pryzbilla/Josh McRoberts

Is Lewis worth a max contract? Some Seattle fans think not . . .

Blazers trade any non-rookie + our pick for Durant.

Not only would we be getting Durant, but a player who
really wants to play in Portland. Not that's a fantasy

Also I'd trade D.Miles for D.Wade plus the right to swap first round selections with the Bobcats forever.

Don't wake me.
