Message: [QUOTE="auror, post: 5018949, member: 1329"] This Clingan trade discourse is pretty interesting. Every day there's a new trade rumor of a team talking about trading up for Clingan. I'm trying to figure out the agenda here. I'd bet a lot of it is coming from the Rockets trying to drum up offers for them to trade down/out from #3. I don't think it's a coincidence that Givony has been stressing that Clingan is a "top 3 prospect" in these same articles. But nobody 3-6 is going to take Clingan, so that has to dampen the Rockets trade market. The Blazers don't need to trade up if he will just fall to 7. But the Grizzlies perhaps would if it is seen as likely the Blazers take him at 7. The Spurs and Pistons seem to want to make their picks at 4/5 because they need talent. Charlotte maybe would move back a few spots. [/QUOTE]
