And frankly, if we don't hit the top 4 picks, I want to trade the pick.

The fascination with this guy escapes me.  Entirely.

A lot of people want to trade the pick if it lands in the 5-8 range. What do you trade it for?

I could see possibly trading down another 5 spots to around 11 and drafting a shooting guard, while picking up a future pick.

I dont see a star player being attainable for that pick though.

I'd trade pick 8 and Gerald Wallace for Eric Gordon.

Why do that if obtaining Eric Gordon would only take the Clippers pick, and probably the 2nd rounder? The Pelicans are dying to get rid of him...

That's a different set of criteria, but I'd be very wary of trying to get Gordon without being able to unload Wallace at the same time.

And I agree with Vonleh having a great shot, I just think hes going to need 2-3 years to fully develop.

How much of a difference is there between how you would rank guys for the draft and how you would rank them based on how good you expect them to be four years from now?

Uh?  That move makes no sense to me.  Please explain?
