    I suspect that kid isn't really Dan Giberts. He's really a Leprechaun.

    Cleveland: 2 number 1 picks in 3 years and 4 top 4 picks in 3 years. Crazy.

    Milwaukee. Boston will have rondo back, atlanta will fall out too. Maybe the wiz will take their place.

    Irving, Thompson, Waiters, TBD

    Meh, got Irving. Not terribly high on the others.

    Irving is a rising star. Thompson is going to be a very good player. Great defensive potential. Not excited about waiters. Seems only like a Ben Gordon type of player. They should've drafted Harrison Barnes or Andre Drummond.

    This could of been their line up.

    Irving
    McLemore?
    Barnes
    Thompson
    Varejao

    Irving
    Barnes
    Gee
    Thompson/speights
    Noel/varejao/zeller


    Definitely a playoff team with a solid frontcourt.

    If we had kept that Toronto pick and ended up with the #12 pick in this crappy draft I would have been so pissed.

    Yes! Do it Dallas, do I now!!!

    Funny how all the pieces (of value) that we ended up trading for Harden were an expiring bench player in Kevin Martin, Jeremy Lamb whom we got with the 12th overall pick, and Toronto's 12th overall pick this year in one of the weakest draft classes so far.

    Now we could potentially obtain Dwight Howard with our cap space and become legit title contenders just like that.

    And everyone was worried about losing Dragic, Lowry, and then that highly coveted Toronto pick. Ha! What doofs.

    Waiters is not like a Ben Gordon type player, Ben Gordon mostly shoots, Waiters mostly drives and shoots 3s. I'd say Waiters is more like Jamal Crawford and has some potential to be like Wade(similar build and drive moves).

    They should have picked Valanciuas over Thompson and traded down last year once the Wiz got bradley beal. Or take drummond and have a front court of him and JV. That be sick too.

    @RealMikeWilbon: Let's play Trade the Pick: if you're the Wizards do you offer the 3rd overall pick and something to sweeten the pot to Sac for Cousins???
