posted this in another thead too. da latest... Daniel Orton has canceled all six of his remaining workouts, according to an NBA source. Speculation is that he may have a promise from OKC http://twitter.com/DraftExpress Here's what I think, if the thunder have made a promise to Orton, then they will probably have to move up to the end of the lottery or mid 1st rd. Meanwhile, another report from NBA.com's David Aldridge mentioned Jeff Green as a target of several teams this summer. "A lot of teams are targeting Jeff Green for a trade this summer, figuring the Thunder won't be able to hold onto him with big paydays coming for Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook,” Aldridge wrote. SO, 14th pick + fillers for Jeff Green??
That thing about cancelling workouts makes no sense to me at all. I wouldn't cancel anything until I was already picked. What, a team's not going to pick you at 16 because you talked to the team that has the 18th pick? If y'all remember, Rashard Lewis said we told him we were going to pick him - the year we had 3 first-round picks.
Nice post... VERY interesting idea... Aaron Brooks Kevin Martin Jeff Green Luis Scola Yao Ming Jeff Green would be a SIGNIFICANT upgrade to Trevor/Shane. I think we NEED a bigger SF to go with our small backcourt... Love the idea...
Seriously... High basketball IQ, hard worker, great defender, 38 inch vertical, shot nearly 40% from 3 last year... No way the Thunder trade the proven 5th pick in the 07 draft for the 14th pick in this draft. I would give them Trevor+the 14 in a second, that's just me though...
Draft day trade w/ Clippers J.Taylor,2011 1st Round,#14 for #8, DeAndre Jordan Ny pick will be probably #9 next year so not a bad trade.
With Dalembert going to Sacramento and Philadelphia getting Nocioni and Hawes maybe they take Favors or Cousins @ 2? Evan Turner could slip to 3 and NJ. Damn.
I'm thinking that is the case and Morey is definitely going to pounce on it. Yi + #3 pick for #14 + our Knicks pick + Battier or Ariza? Pipe dream, I know, but Ariza could lure BronBron? lol
Wait what are you talking about? all I've heard about the kings is that their very open to moving the pick... --RB
I'm not going to read down to see if someone else mentioned this, but please do not forget Tyson Chandler. Nobody is going to pass on John Wall or Evan Turner, so everyone can just toss out dreams of #2. Also, to the poster, why would GS trade #6 and Anthony Randolph for #14 and Bud? Jordan Hill? Not a chance. You have to give something to get something. Dont get me wrong those are both nice players, but for a 6 and Randolph, forget it.
Dalembert left Phila. which could potentially mean Phila. would take a closer look at Favors or Cousins after losing a big presence in the paint.......
Pounce on what... It's not like every other GM is stupid. Yeah Morey is smart but that is just a stupid trade by a man who is pretty smart in his own rights. YI + #3 for crap and a crapshoot. Not that Battier is crap but he is crap in relation to what we are getting. I like trade ideas but please make them a little realistic. Everything as if everyone of our players is gold and Morey is so genius he can convert Gold into rare gold.
Yeah it could mean that or it it could mean the Sixers or dumping age for youth or it could mean that the Kings or taking a serious look at Cousins and see Dalembert as a temporary fix and a way to get out from Hawes contract who has disappointed or it could mean the Kings or looking to trade down in the draft to pick up Henry or Aminu and Detroit wants to move up to get cousins or it could mean the Sixers think Dalembert is gone anyway next year and they would rather get something now or it could mean...
