Yup.......so for the pick we gave Chi-Town, they get trade it for Ty Thomas, Viktor Khrypa and a future consideration?

Wow Aldridge is gigantic next to David Stern.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

I hope everyone sees what Portland is doing by rebuilding with DRAFT PICKS.

They knew they could grab Ty Thomas at #4 anyway, but at #4, it's less guaranteed $$.

Why did Portland make this trade? They didnt think they could get Aldridge at 4 I guess? Bulls wouldve taken Ty. Charlotte wanted Aldridge?

btw, why boo Bargnani? If this is because of our American xeno-phobic ways it makes me want to puke. Boo the Knicks all you like, but don't boo because you don't know the player, sheesh...

How about Aldridge to the Bulls...no Tyrus...interesting.
Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...

It'll only take them 6 years to be competitive-seriously...IMO, the best way to build is a combo of signings, trades, and draft....focus on one area too heavily and your plan crumbles.

Portland must've been worried that the Bobcats had interest in Aldridge. It didn't cost much to add a little protection.

fully agree on that. Look at what the suns, the pacers did, rebuilding on the fly with a smart mix of picks and trades.
