PORTLAND TRAIL BLAZERS

Round 1: LaMarcus Aldridge, PF, Texas (No. 2, acquired from Chicago)

Brandon Roy, SG, Washington (No. 6, acquired from Minnesota)

Sergio Rodriguez , PG Spain (No. 27, acquired from Phoenix)

Joel Freeland, PF, England (No. 30, acquired from Detroit)

Analysis: Six trades. Wow. They get points for just having the guts to pull that off in one night.

They get more points for having the fortitude to stand up to a mob of "Draft the 'Stache" groupies who wanted Adam Morrison in Portland.

But what gets them an "A" grade, ultimately, is the quality of the players they ended up with.

They started the night with the No. 4, No. 30 and No. 31 picks. They ended it with LaMarcus Aldridge, Brandon Roy, Raef LaFrentz, Joel Freeland and Sergio Rodriguez.

Of the four, Roy is my favorite pick, and I like the way they maneuvered to get him. The Blazers caught wind of the Wolves' plan to take Roy and trade him to the Rockets. So Portland drafted the guy the Wolves wanted, Randy Foye, forcing the Wolves to send Roy to Portland for Foye.

And the trade to No. 2, while it might have seemed unnecessary, took a player they didn't want off their roster and got them the assurance that they were getting the guy ranked No. 1 on their board.

Freeland and Rodriguez have a lot of potential and could be excellent assets in a couple of years.

Blazers fans may be disappointed that Morrison is in Charlotte, but the truth is that this is one of the better moments the Blazers have had in the last five years. Aldridge and Roy have a chance to be stars, and the Blazers rid themselves of another bad chemistry guy in Sebastian Telfair.

If they find a way to dump Darius Miles and Zach Randolph this summer, the purge will be complete. Paul Allen needs to give the GM job permanently to Kevin Pritchard. He earned it on Wednesday.

Grade: A

Braun tužio Njujork Nikse

Bivši trener Njujork Niksa Leri Braun podneo je u četvrtak tužbu protiv kluba koji mu je uručio otkaz posle samo jedne sezone saradnje.

Ono što Braun želi je preostalih 40 miliona dolara za četiri godine ugovora koje je još trebalo da odradi.

S druge strane, Niksi tvrde da nemaju nameru da plate Braunu preostali iznos iz ugovora jer ga se nije pridržavao (davao izjave oko svog statusa iako navodno po odredbama ugovora na to nije imao pravo).

Sudija u ovom finansijskom sporu prema klauzuli u ugovoru koju su potpisali Niksi i Braun biće komesar NBA lige Dejvid Štern.

NBA predstavila novu loptu

NBA liga i komesar Dejvid Štern predstavili su pre ovogodišnjeg drafta novu loptu kojom će se igrati u novoj sezoni.

Nova “Spalding” lopta će prema rečima Dejvida Šterna doneti revoluciju u NBA ligu i predstavlja prvu pravu promenu u ligi u poslednjih 35 godina.

Razlog za ovakvu euforičnu izjavu prvog čoveka lige je materijal od koga je lopta napravljena.

Dosadašnje lopte su pravljene od kože, dok je nova lopta sačinjena od mikrofibera i “imuna” je na habanje tokom utakmice, pa je kao takva mnogo bolja za kontrolisanje i šutiranje ka košu.

Nova lopta je već puštena u prodaju u zvaničnoj NBA radnji u Njujorku.

Gerry McNamara Signs With Orlando Magic

Gerry McNamara has accepted a free agent deal with the Orlando Magic. His agent says the team was very close to picking him in Wednesday night's NBA draft.

Gerry's agent Bill Neff says that once G-Mac got over the initial sting of not being drafted, he quickly became excited about the opportunity to play for the Magic.

Neff says that signing with the team is the right choice for G-Mac. He'll have only two other guards ahead of him at the summer league, JJ Redick and Travis Diener.

Gerry's agent also tells us that Orlando's team officials recognize the leadership and knowledge that Gerry will bring to the game.

G-Mac has to be in Orlando on July 5th, and will play his first summer league game on July 10th.
