3. Mayo
4. Gordon
5. Love
6. Gallinari
7. Lopez
8. Bayless
9. Westbrook
10. Alexander

25. Thompson
26. Batum
27. Ibaka
28. CDR
29. D.J. White
30. Bill Walker

 

Hoping there will be no more trades:

1. Chicago: Derrick Rose
2. Miami: Michael Beasley
3. Minnesota: O.J Mayo
4. LAC: Eric Gordon
5. Memphis: Kevin Love
6. New York: Danilo Gallinari
7. Seattle: Brook Lopez
8. Milwaukee: Jerryd Bayless
9. Charlotte: Russell Westbrook
10. Nets: Joe Alexander
11. Indiana: Anthony Randolph
12. Sacramento: D.J Augustin
13. Portland: Alexis Ajinca
14. Golden State: Kosta Koufos
15. Phoenix: Brandon rush
16. Philadelphia: Marreese Speights
17. Indiana: DeAndre Jordan
18. Washington: Robin Lopez
19. Cleveland: Darrell Arthur
20. Charlotte: Roy Hibbert
21. New Jersey: JJ Hickson
22. Orlando: Courtney Lee
23. Utah Jazz: Jason Thompson
24. Seattle: Serge Ibaka
25. Houston: Donte Greene (Homer pick)
26. San Antonio: Nicolas Batum
27. Portland: Ante Tomic
28. Memphis: Ryan Anderson
29. Detroit: Chris Douglas-Roberts
30. Boston: DJ White

 

You think the Rockets are going to take another point guard? I'm not saying you're wrong, but that means Brooks was a wasted pick, and we are going to pass on CDR and Batum.

I wouldn't put that past our Morey management team.

 

1. Chicago: Derrick Rose
2. Miami: Michael Beasley
3. Minnesota: O.J Mayo
4. LAC: Eric Gordon
5. Memphis: Kevin Love
6. New York: Jerryd Bayless
7. Seattle: Brook Lopez
8. Milwaukee: Russell Westbrook
9. Charlotteanilo Gallinari
10. Nets: Joe Alexander
11. Indiana: Anthony Randolph
12. Sacramento: D.J Augustin
13. Portland: Alexis Ajinca
14. Golden StateeAndre Jordan (he has a good chance of dropping)
15. Phoenix: Brandon Rush
16. Philadelphiaarrell Arthur
17. Indiana: Mario Chalmers
18. Washington: Robin Lopez
19. Cleveland: Darrell Arthur
20. Charlotte: Donte Green
21. New Jersey: JJ Hickson
22. Orlando: Courtney Lee
23. Utah Jazz: Jason Thompson
24. Seattle: Serge Ibaka
25. Houston: Nicolas Batum
26. San Antonio: Mareese Speights
27. Portland: Ante Tomic
28. Memphis: Ryan Anderson
29. Detroit: Chris Douglas-Roberts
30. Boston: DJ White

 

^^^ignore the random smile faces. I don't know what happened there because I didn't intend to put any smilies on there

 

I think if only CDR and Chalmers are on the table, we take Chalmers. I think if we can get Rush though, we are trying to get Rush. And I think we may be trying to get Courtney Lee through a trade. I just don't think CDR is gonna be our guy is Chalmers is there. Batum is a project at best, and has bust potential. Chalmers has a very good chance of having a solid career because he can shoot and defend. I can see us taking him if he is there. It makes it easier to move Luther Head. And if necessary, it makes one of either Brooks or Chalmers expendable in a future trade. Sacramento allegedly wanted Battier and Brooks for Artest. If we have Chalmers, something like that becomes more realistic.

1. Chicago: Derrick Rose
2. Miami: Michael Beasley
3. Minnesota: O.J Mayo
4. LAC: Eric Gordon
5. Memphis: Kevin Love
