    Kemba Walker and Patrick Patterson would give us two extremely talented WINNERS in the locker room.

    We could start looking at dealing Lowry/Scola whoever to get what we need, 2012 draftpicks...

    Wow, are GMs smoking illegal stuff?

    Everyones trading up to get bigs with huge ?? and holes in their games,, and at #10 plus, we have a chance of drafting Kemba, Marcus and Leonard type players???

    I mean, just trade the 23rd to that 10 to 13 range and draft 2 of these 3 guys and call it a day.

    Byombo, Singleton, Thompson and Fredette over Kemba? U serious?

    I'd really like to see us turn #14, #23, Scola and Kevin Martin into Jordan Hamilton and Tristan Thompson.

    Then we're really built for the future, and get a top 5 pick next year. Sprinkle a superstar into that mix and I think you suddenly have a very competitive team.

    Our new goals are now Kemba Walker, Leonard, Thompson, and Burks. Since everyone traded up for bigs thats slides down the real talent at the top of the draft to us.

    According to ESPN the Jazz are shopping the 12th pick.

    We could trade for the 12th pick and take Kemba Walker, before the Suns try to draft him.

    I know, right? And that's in a league where the starting centers in the finals were average (Tyson Chandler) and crappy (Joel Anthony). Doesn't make sense.

    This is what i was thinking. we could be happy about the 3-way. i actually think detroit promised Thompson, and the Bobcats jumped in front to grab Thompson. This could mean Detroit is ready to deal with Houston. The question is who would we be targeting?

    Not who I was talking about, but he fills the bill as well, although he can't create for himself.

    Why? We might as well trade the pick then. With the latest news of his knee issue, it maybe too risky, especially when he's not a sure superstar.




    And just an FYI , latest DE mock, after taking the 3 team trade into consideration, has houston taking Marcus Morris at 14.

    I am hoping Kemba Walker or Klay thompson. Maybe Alec Birks or Marcus Morris.
