Strong draft rumor per ESPN

[CBBI]

Portland trades
#3 overall pick
Ruben Patterson

Utah trades
#6 overall pick
#27 overall pick
Kirk Synder
Gordon Giricek

I like this trade for both teams. Portland moves down where they can grab a guy like Gerald Green, they dump Patterson's contract, and they get a good prospect in Synder. Utah gets their choice of Chris Paul or Deron Williams to run their team for the next 10 years.

The trade happened but with a slight change.

Portland receives : #6 pick, #27 pick, and conditional 1st rounder next year!

Utah receive : #3 pick!

They changed it because Ruben refused to play for the Jazz.

The Jazz got raped in this deal, they need a lot of help and moving up three spots isnt going to make the world of difference.
