    Rumor has it Kings are trying to send Salmons and #10 to SA for Parker, with the Spurs trying to land Montejunas. Looks like the bigs are going quick.

    Biyombo? Tristan Thompson? Leonard? Do these guys really sound like "Morey-type" players to you guys? Do you really think Morey will pass on one of the most productive and efficient players in the nation for one of those?

    Not buying it.

    Sounds like he might fall to #14 -- this year's Patrick Patterson?

    I'm not counting on Bobcats passing on him with the 9th pick, but if it plays out anything like this:

    I will be jumping for joy.

    BTW, I totally get why people would be interested in a guy like Biyombo, that's only natural. However, I don't get how people would think Morey would be so interested in him to trade up that high, given his MO. I know Morey doesn't rely completely on stats, but it is still part of the equation for him. With a guy like Biyombo who has so little sample size, you have to throw most of that out the window and just use your gut. I don't see Morey wanting to do that, especially given the price tag. I could be wrong though...

    Looks like enough of a reason for us to trade up for the #8th pick, but I would want the 33rd pick from the Pistons in a trade.

    8th pick + 33rd pick for 14th pick and 23rd pick.

    Draft starting to take shape...

    Irving
    Williams
    Kanter
    Jonas V.
    Knight
    Vesley
    BB

    And then it gets interesting.

    I am on board with Kemba Walker if he should fall to us. Completely.

    No, no channels are working. Says connection error. I reset it, it comes back on all glitchy for like 15 min and then goes out again.

    Just saw some Woj tweets that Bismack's European contract may be an issue and his team over there has set a court date to contest his release.

    Hmmmm. Morey playing games?

    It likely means we're not dealing with Minny. Otherwise, they would have leaked it all over the place by now.
