more than 95% chance they go to commercial break between the 17th and 19th picks tonite?

My Mock Draft with trades!

Celtics trade Smart, 16th, 28th, maybe fillers and future 1st to Philly for 3rd overall pick.

Pistons go all in for Mario, trade up with Knicks.

Rockets trade up with Denver to sang a falling Mudiay when Kings pick Cauley-Stein. Give up 18th, 32nd, TJones, and future 1st.

Pacers maybe get a HUGE steal with Porzingis being passed my multiple teams.

 

I wish you could gamble on stupid stuff like this. That's easy money right there.

 

I think the Rockets trade up to get Myles Turner. Interesting when you consider he was getting LMA comparisons going into college. He could be backing up LMA next year.

 

I think Morley may want Hezonja.

 

******* it nothing is getting done today in my life because I can't stop refreshing.

 

the euro jr smith:grin:

Apparently he is forcing his way to Detroit because his (former) agent Arn Tellem will be the GM there

If woelful said it then its certain it wont happen.

 

Let's see what the Rockets do this year...it's Morey time.

keep in mind that likely whatever is done tonight is just a prelude. unless a monster offer comes our way, we're likely keeping Prigioni and Papanikolaou's contracts for free agency.

by all appearances we are operating above the cap.....so ignore all the stuff about "clearing cap room". we will trade the #18 for better assets, period. In fact, if we are trying to complete a SnT for Love/Aldridge, it behooves us to add as many contracts as we can.

 

Would help in possibly pushing Cameron Payne down (if BOS isn't taking him at 11)

Didn't Morey like Smart last year? I could see him making a play for him now if he's available.

 

I'd love to jump in and grab Courtney Lee.
