I wouldn't unless Valanciunas is available. Remember it was a weak draft. Irving might do ok in the future, but right now, I'd still rather have Collison, Jennings, Andre Miller, or Conley.
considering the brouhaha over VBG drafting Caron Butler, he might catch some flack if he tries to disallow BRR's pick :grin:
Wow, I definitely wouldn't. It was a weak draft, but Irving would be a top pick (though not necessarily a #1) any year, IMO
Don't pick 2011-2012 rookies. This draft is supposed to be based on the performances of the players in 2010-2011. You also don't know who's going to do what. Who could have predicted Jenning's 55 point explosion or Tyreke's 20/5/5?
He'd be a top pick, but we're talking about what he can do right now, not in the future. I'd rather have an established NBA PG until he has gotten some experience in the league.

It was a weak draft for studs, but there were still a lot of quality role players in that draft that people might wanna consider for their bench.
If this were a fantasy trade I'd surely take you up on it, but I don't have a go-to scorer if I trade Johnson right now.
Gahhhh, and this is my pick that I traded to VBG. I'll stick around an hour or so in case he comes back.
