    Just heard on ESPN from Chris Broussard that Cleveland is offering Anderson Varejao for the 12th pick and we're "actively discussing" it.

    This day has moved fast, but this is the very first I've heard of this. Am I late on this news? If so I'd appreciate any updates on this. How likely?

    Bucher: Houston has a better chance of getting the 8th pick from Toronto than the 5th and still possible they could get Drummond at 8.

    If Sacramento selects Drummond, it's likely because they have a trade with Houston. Houston wants Drummond.

    Broussard: Cleveland is in talks with Houston for the #12 pick involving Varejao.

    Non-related: Broussard: Charlotte has narrowed it down from 5 teams to 2 for the #2 pick. Cleveland is one of those teams.

    that would make the asking price of either Evans, Thornton or Fredette! ten cents on the dollar!

    Yes, they are low balling DM, which is to be expected.

    If we land Henson, lamb ,and Royce white ;I would be ecstatic. Having three picks in the top 20 ain't the worse thing in the world. I'm appreciative of morey and his skill to acquire 3 top 20 draft picks. Worse case scenario we have the youngest bench in the league.

    I SEE ROBINSON FALLING to 5.

    The Wizards already have Okafor, Blatch and NeNe. They want Beal or Gilchrest.

    I see it going down like this:

    Davis
    Gilchrest
    Beal
    Drummond
    Robinson
    Lillard
    Waiters

    so true, i do not want to lose Parsons. Kid has been a stud so far and his trade value is only increasing. D-Mo...I can't wait!:grin:

    If we are talking to Cleveland for varejao that means we more than likely are dealing one of our pfs in another deal.

    Sounds as if we either will get Drummond or try trading him for Howard. Of course, there will be more parts to the trade if it goes down, but the main thing to take away is that Houston will have a new big man after tonight.
