    I think Kawhi Leonard could fall to us at 14 with these trades and everyone trading up to get BIGs. If Charlotte drafts Biyombo at 7, I wouldn't be too against trading up to 8 to get Thompson. I don't know why everyone wants Kemba so badly. If he's the BPA at 14, maybe but still no need.

    I kinda disagree, I don't think he'll be a "super star". But I do think he can be a perennial All-Star to border line All-Star level player. I definitely think he could be an upgrade to Lowry. Although that's not a knock on Lowry, I just think Kemba will be great in the NBA.

    As far as the knee issues, Its all been rumored no one has been able to confirm it.

    Leonrad fills our need at SF for sure. Would be decent and seems like he might fall to us now maybe.

    Jan Vasely might even fall to us at SF position now.

    I just wanted to see this picture on this page...

    Back to topic - I´ve got a feeling there will be at least one move by Morey today... and it will leave some disgusted and other thrilled...

    Nope, the Wiz invited a bunch of Czech big wigs which almost guarantees Vesely at 6.

    I'm sure Jonas V will be gone by #6. Hoping for Marcus Morris or Klay Thompson.

    Drafting Klay Thompson may make Kmart expandable. If Morris can play the 3, I believe he can be a Brandon Roy type of player.

    I don't want a Euro player ever. Not in this draft. Never ever.

    Wow, nice!

    I can't tell if they are real or not. I usually can.

    I'm hoping Kanter slips to #5, and we trade up to him.

    I feel like with Utah now shopping the #12 they may be back to taking Knight with the #3, and I've heard the Cavs like Valanciunas over Enes at the #4. I don't know, it just seems like the #5's been the only pick in the top 10 that HASN'T been reported about being shopped, so with the media's recent track record, that should be the pick to be moved.
