That would be more the kind of deal I'd see coming from Portland as Ainge tries to get out of this draft.
Coined the CelticsBlog term, "Euromistake."

Vonleh would be a good target.

Meyers Leonard would be nice for #23.   8)
First name I thought of as well. i believe hes an FA.

I didn't realize that.  Thanks for pointing that out.  Here's an article re: why Portland would have been well advised to have extended him rather than face the prospect that he gets a better offer elsewhere this off season.    http://www.blazersedge.com/2015/11/5/9669156/portland-trail-blazers-meyers-leonard-contract-extension-free-agency

Basically it means that the C's and Portland need to do a sign and trade at an acceptable price for Leonard and like I said earlier, #23 sounds about right to get Leonard to sign on the dotted line.

He's like 3 years younger than Dunn and Hield.

You could do a lot worse for #23

He was a top pick in 2014 for his apparent upside, maybe he still has some (although I think I'd prefer a draft and stash)
I'm bitter.

hey!!! i will have you know that vonleh, after finishing his second year as an official nba player, may only be averaging 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds a game...but it is a SPECIAL 3.6 points and 3.8 rebounds a game.  ;D

I don't think Ainge and Stevens would want to develop Vonleh at this point.  His career isn't looking very good.

Mason Plumlee!  Have always liked him.  Good rebounder, shot blocker, and floor runner!

Plumlee would be a nice pickup for the rotation, but why would Portland deal their only decent (and young) big man?

Funny part is.... most people would probably complain it's an overpay to include Smart in that  :laugh:
