Portland's 'point' of view By Adrian Wojnarowski, Yahoo! Sports May 24, 2007 Twenty-four hours had yet to pass on the draft lottery transformation of the Portland Trail Blazers, and general manager Kevin Pritchard and his staff already had brainstormed a most intriguing idea: If they're going to draft Greg Oden, they should take a hard look at making a trade to get Mike Conley Jr. to come with him. So the discussion is under way, a source close to the team and Oden said Wednesday night, about trading into the top of the lottery for a second draft pick to secure the franchise center's personal point guard. It would be a brilliant, bold stroke for the Blazers G.M., and here's the thing: Pritchard has the parts and the imagination to make it happen. He's on a professional roll, what with drafting LaMarcus Aldridge and trading for rookie of the year Brandon Roy. And now, against all odds, he won the No. 1 pick in the June 28 draft. Does Pritchard have enough with Zach Randolph, a 20-and-10 low post scorer and rebounder, and Jarrett Jack, a competent point guard, as the backbone of a major trade? As it looks now, the Blazers are determined to find out. Oden and Conley have been together through AAU and high school ball in Indiana and a Final Four season at Ohio State. Before they even won the lottery Tuesday, the Blazers had done enough research on Oden to understand that to get the most out of this mild-mannered Midwestern prodigy he needs to be comfortable. He never has played without his best friend, Conley, who happens to be the best point guard in the draft. Already Conley and Oden, who flew to Oregon on Wednesday for a meeting at Nike, privately are discussing the possibility of Portland crafting a deal to keep them together. While Oden understands it's still something of a reach, the fact that the Blazers immediately thought of trying to get Conley thrilled Oden. After talking with confidants about Portland winning the No. 1 pick, Oden expressed relief that he was going to a smaller market. He never has been enamored with the bright lights and big city. He was born in Buffalo, raised in Indianapolis and had little appetite for the suffocating pressures of, say, Boston. As for the Celtics, who sit miserably at No. 5, they logically should be one of the Blazers' most promising trade partners. Without Oden or Kevin Durant, G.M. Danny Ainge is wisest to look hard at packaging his pick and a young player or two for veterans. Yet there is the pending problem of Ainge agreeing to do a major trade with the Blazers after that draft-day disaster a year ago that left them without Roy or Randy Foye – and with Sebastian Telfair. Another issue muddling this possibility is that Randolph is too similar to the Celtics' Al Jefferson. Even so, if Ainge is going to get duped again, you'd figure he isn't going to let it be Pritchard. Truth be told, the Blazers might have to get the third overall pick out of Atlanta's hands to guarantee that they can get Conley. The Hawks could get their point guard at No. 9 with Acie Law and use the third pick to bring back a powerful inside presence in Randolph. Of course, Atlanta may not have the salaries to give back for the maxed-out Randolph, and that's where a third team could be useful. Together, Oden and Conley are represented by Mike Conley Sr., who has aligned himself with Bill Duffy's BDA Management. Duffy is a powerbroker agent who can facilitate the kind of major trade needed to happen here, one which likely will need the involvement of a third team. Whatever happens, Pritchard's imagination started churning the moment that pingpong ball bounced the Blazers' way Tuesday night. He's going to go through the motions of evaluating Oden and Durant, but it's inevitable he'll choose the center over the forward. As it looks now, his real work between now and draft day could come with getting Oden's personal point guard to the Blazers, too. It would be some story, some future. http://tinyurl.com/2o53bl 這個作者認為如果拓荒者挑Oden，那有可能會試著交易Mike Conley過來。（老鷹隊則是他認為可以考慮交易的球隊，籌碼是Randolph） Oden是曾經說過他希望挑他的球隊也可以把他的好朋友Conley一起選進來，不過現在不知道他和拓荒者之間，對這件事情究竟是堅持到什麼程度，當然啦，現在Pritchard和Oden還沒正式面談一切都未確定，但只怕Oden到時候真的堅持的話，那Pritchard應該會滿頭大的，而且Conley來是一回事，拓荒者到時候PG恐怕會大爆炸這也是個問題，我覺得Jarrett Jack、Sergio Rodriguez可能會被丟一個出去。（Dickau應該是不會有人要）其實丟兩個其中一個我都覺得很可惜，尤其是很受拓荒者球迷喜歡的Sergio Rodriguez... 當然都不換也是可以，但拓荒者就會有Jack、Sergio、Conley、Dickau四個PG，加上Roy充當PG的機會也不少，這樣陣容看起來...我覺得會滿怪的orz 到時候如果換不過來的話拓荒者不知道會不會將目標放在Kevin Durant身上XD 雖然他也不錯，而且我也非常喜歡他，去年我還超希望他來拓荒者，只是如果放棄Oden不免覺得放掉難得一見的中鋒奇才太可惜了！但願Pritchard和Oden面談過後可以得到更詳盡，並且對拓荒者更有利的資訊！（我私心是希望他可以改變心意）希望Oden不要太堅持一定要Conley不可啦XD 和其他後衛搭配也不錯啊！ -- 總之現在還是未知數，希望結果是對拓荒者有利的。 -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 61.228.111.34
