    Would we still get Joe Forte? I would think so, since he came in the Denver trade and you are placing Moiso with this years two lower picks, that would have gone to Portland. 
    Obviously, it's too early to tell about Moiso, Johnson and Brown or even Jermaine O'neil. There were times last season, where he looked like a true, super human player and other times where he looked lost and very immature. I imagine Bill Russell, who is tutoring him, will have a huge impact, since his strengths are physical and his weakness mental.
    Did the proposed trade with Portland ever get clarified? Do we know which picks were offered?
    Interesting speculation Roy, but knowing now that the draft yeilded us no center and no point guard, I'd pull the trigger. If the trade did go down, we might have made the playoffs and Pitino might still be coach.
