Reminder: Courtside on now (955thegame.com)
Rice drops a bomb to start off the show. Says there are strong rumors of Portland looking to move up for either Augustin, Westbrook, or Alexander. Milwaukee is interested as well, and Minny is apparently okay with moving down.
Rice says it might take Outlaw + #13 from Portland for #3, and Milwaukee might offer #8 + Yi or Charlie V. for #3.

Re: Reminder: Courtside on now (955thegame.com)
#3 would be waaaay too high for any of those guys. Rather take Mayo and try to trade him if that's the case.

True, but if we had #3, that means you got every team fighting to get that pick to draft Mayo or someone else they want. If all it took was Travis and #13 for 3, you take that in a heartbeat, cuz you can turn that into around the 5-8 picks and another player or future pick. KP knows what he's doing.

I still think whoever gets #3 has the keys to Beasley. Miami seems to want Mayo, but thinks Beasley should go at #2. Whoever gets to #3 can short circuit any other deals with Miami.
I wonder if any team has ever had the top three rookie of the year candidates on the same team.

If we can get the #3 for Travis and the #13, would you trade it down for Westbrook or Augistine? I'm not so sure. I'd either try to make a deal with Miami for the #2 pick or I'd try to move it for a veteran.

Yeah, it's been rumored that the Bucks want to move up to 3 for Mayo, not those guys. Though they do like Alexander at #8.

Re: Reminder: Courtside on now (955thegame.com)
Frye says he's working on his three-point game.. I think he should work on trying to establish a semblence of a low-post game first before venturing off to be a 6-10 point guard.

Frye also is selling how you need to get five guys on the court who can score. Trying to take some of Joel's time?

Yeah, I mean just getting that #3 would give us so many options, and there isn't anything scarier to the rest of the NBA than KP with options..

It's fun because of KP and his craziness though. It just let's your mind go wild with the possibilities.

Re: Reminder: Courtside on now (955thegame.com)
Well the Blazers are having a draft party. I will probably go. Does it make sense they would have a draft party and trade out of the draft? I think not.

Except if their is a trade (out of the draft) it would likely happen on draft day, so there would still be something to watch and talk about.
