i think Beal will be gone by 6 and we have better guys to take at 6 than Lillard esp with Dragic on board. I would draft robinson with #2 and pray that Barnes is left at #6..or perhaps take a risk and nab a Perry Jones? It would give us a very athletic young base.
Finally a man who knows what he speaks (types?). Thomas Robinson will be a STAR. I'd dump Lowry/Scola/Patterson/14th pick for Robinson/Diop or whatever.
Both firsts and Lowry gets you to the 5-6 range unless the team has a huge hole to fill at PG (Portland). Portland's 6th may be obtainable for Lowry and the 14th because they so need a PG now.
I would say not for the 2nd pick alone. That's definitely a no. Lowry, Parsons, and Martin, they'd be all in . . . maybe.
http://games.espn.go.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=79zo578 With Picks: Houston Trades:Lowry, Parsons, Patterson, Morris, #14, #16 Houston Gets: Maggette, #2, #6 Charlotte Trades: Magette, #2 Charlotte Gets: Matthews, Patterson, Parsons, Morris, #14 Blazers Trade: Matthews, #6 Blazers Get: Lowry, #16 What do y'all think? We give up alot, and take on a bad contract..but this moves gives us two top 6 picks...how do you pass that up?
I would say if we can move into the top 5 then by all means do whatever we have to. If we draft Davis, Beal, Drummond, or Robinson then suck next year, who cares? Top 5 pick again. You see how the Thunder got to where they are. The Rockets suck at picking mid first round guys, as evidenced by the Pacers ability to do the same thing, yet be a 3 seed. Go for gold. If we dont get it, well we are right back to where we are now, only with better picks.
Personally id prefer t.rob @2 (looks and plays like a stud to me) @6 i really dont care... i guess take the risk in drummond or barnes(but i dont like either)
Imagine this... assume we have both #2 and #6... cleveland wants to move down... we trade #6 and ppat or morris plus dal 1st for #4... @2 we draft thomas robinson @4 we draft bradley beal That i can get behind!!!
Idk how tall you are as long as you can play the position... For the record t.rob measured in (unofficially) at 6'9" barkley was 6'8"(i believe)
