Just gonna post the rumors, updates, etc in here: nbadraftnet New Jersey now 90% to take Derrick Favors. Warriors have supposedly switched to Al Farouq Aminu and they're afraid Kings will take him. DraftExpress Nets are speaking out of both sides of their mouths. On one hand comparing Favors to Stromile Swift, on other telling ESPN he's the pick... DraftExpress NBA sources expect a wave of cap-related deals today. Chicago and Miami will be active, could trade a big part of their rosters by tonight nbadraftnet Trade Rumor: Kirk Hinrich to Indiana. 17th pick included - Indiana targeting Gordon Hayward at 17. Not sure what Ind gives in deal. nbadraftnet 10th pick included in that rumored deal. Not sure who Chicago targets at 10.
Sorry, not sure about that monster DraftExpress If New Jersey picks Favors they can forget about Amare. All I can say. DraftExpress Daniel Orton should write a book entitled: "How not to handle the NBA draft process." Made every mistake imaginable in the last few months.
Warriors looking to move Biedrins League sources said the Golden State Warriors are trying to move center Andris Biedrins(notes). The Warriors already shipped the remaining three years and $31 million of Corey Maggette’s(notes) contract to the Milwaukee Bucks and wouldn’t mind moving Biedrins’ deal, which has four years and $36 million left. Marc J. Spears, 12:26 p.m. ET, June 24 --------------------------------------------------- Heat like Vasquez If Maryland guard Greivis Vasquez gets out of the first-round, don’t expect him to get past the Miami Heat with the 32nd pick, league executives say. Adrian Wojnarowski, 12:26 p.m. ET, June 24 ----------------------------------------------------- Richards to come to U.S. Despite suggestions otherwise, British center prospect Ryan Richards – a potential target for Sacramento with the 33rd pick – doesn’t want to return overseas next season, a source said. He plans to play in the NBA or D-League. Adrian Wojnarowski, 12:26 p.m. ET, June 24
Come on DD I love Clutch. But whatever inside info he has now I am sure he has been asked not to report it. Clutch gives us the done deals before anyone else knows. But the talked about deals are not being leaked unless some other GM says yeah Houston offered us this but we aint doing it. I know most of that stuff is crap info anyway. But the Rockets are keeping their cards close to the vest. If you want the latest on the Rockets draft plans crawl inside Morey's brain. Plant a listening device in Moreys briefs. Or his tie... I was thinking he might not wear a tie but I am sure he will wear underwear.
Jon (Houston) chad the word on the local radio is that the rockets are trying to trade up to draft cousins? any truth to this Chad Ford (12:52 PM) Lots of teams are trying to do that. Remember the Rockets have assets. They have those Knicks picks and Jordan Hill to shop. Dom Q (Australia) ---------------------------------------------- Who's in the Rockets radar? Chad Ford (12:52 PM) Tough to say, but hear Cole Aldrich, Xavier Henry a lot.

Oh, I agree, I was just thinking he was looking for fast updates....and Clutch is always the first with the correct details of the deal... DD
WojYahooNBA Rod Thorn "doesn't love" Nets draft spot now and open for right bid to move down, sources say. "He's fine with sliding back," source says.
hsf09 do you have twitter? what's your twitter bro? Also is all these you're sayin people from twitter?
Yes, it's all from twitter. Well except that part about Chad Ford answering questions. That was in a chat. And one of the others was from an "article". www.twitter.com/WojYahooNBA www.twitter.com/DraftExpress www.twitter.com/nbadraftnet
Thanks^^^ Sounds like we're too far out to move up to 3 to satisfy NJ(unless they liked a guy like Jordan Hill). http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=Ag3iKCeICLCntwVXVpR5eHW8vLYF?slug=ys-draftbuzz062410
DraftExpress Hearing that the Indiana-Oklahoma CIty trade is dead, and that OKC may have moved onto New Orleans instead. Trade would be 18+21 for 11. --------- samickFanHouse Source with direct knowledge of New Jersey's thinking says Favors is the expected pick and that Johnson pick would be "almost shocking." --------- AlexKennedyNBA Hearing that at least one trade has already been agreed upon but won't be announced until tonight. ---------- ChrisMannixSI Sixers working the phones, trying to pick up another first rounder/early second rounder, sources say. Big man is their priority. ----------
WojYahooNBA "So far, Oklahoma City has been unsuccessful dangling its selections at 18 and 21 to pry New Orleans pick at No. 11. Sources says."
I have a feeling they don't want to draft because they don't want to guarantee money. Too bad there aren't any 1st round international players this year. You can't stash assets this 1st round.
Not many rumors regarding our Rockets. Might be very good or bad depending on how you look at it. I say its good because Morey is always hitting us with surprises.
