    1.Wall
    2.Turner
    3.Johnson/Favors
    4.Favors/Johnson
    5.Cousins
    6.Udoh
    7.Monroe/Davis
    8.Aminu
    9.Ed Davis/Babbitt
    10.???(Trade?)/Aldrich
    11. ???
    12. George


    DraftExpress

    Monroe, Babbitt, Hayward in that order I believe. RT @teebeebee: Top 3 or 4 possibles for Utah when you get a sec? #jazz

    DraftExpress

    They'd love that but he probably doesn't get to them at 13. Memphis. RT @JollyGreen303: Any chance we get a Derozan/George combo in Toronto?

    DraftExpress

    Amongst likely still on board: Aldrich, Patterson, Henry, ??? RT @houtexmajorin: Houston's targets?

    I think Monroe would go 7th and the Jazz would take Ed Davis for sure at 9. @ 11 I'm thinking the Hornets would go with Babbitt or Henry.

    I dont see why you wouldnt do it? Thats probably why it wont happen. Its not like we cant lose anyone we had last year to the team of importance in the deal. We already pretty much have Yao, Lowry, Scola coming back and the rest are all tradeable to me for upgrades.

    the more and more i think about it, there is almost no way we'll end up keeping the 14th pick on the draft. either we move into the top 6 or we will probably almost trade out of the first round, or maybe to boston for the 19th pick for elliot williams

    Not meaning to attack your personal opinion, but I would almost be sure that morey would never trade kmart. kmart will be our top scorer next season, and why would any smart gm trade their top scorer??

    and also i would say demarcus nelson is a much better prospect than wes johnson for the rockets.

    Anyone want to take a guess who the "???" is? I think it could be either Gordon Hayward or Avery Bradley.

    With all this hype about draft activity and potential big impact roster changes, I would be very blue b*lls if we stay put or do something minor :( . I trust Morey and his decisions, but as a fan I want something to be excited about going into next season. Our roster, as it stands, is a middle of the pack team in the west. Things are going to get crazy tomorrow evening.

    NBA sources tell Y! possible OKC-Indy trade was talked about but doubtful. "Indy going down line looking for a young guard," one source says

    Warriors Leaning Toward Udoh

    NEW YORK -- Golden State is leaning toward being the first team to upset the lottery if it selects Baylor’s Epke Udoh over Georgetown’s Greg Monroe at No. 6, according to multiple sources with knowledge of the selection told ESPN.com Wednesday night.

    The Warriors are seriously considering selecting Udoh at No. 6, which would be the highest he has been listed on draft boards if the projected top five goes as expected with John Wall (Washington), Evan Turner (Philadelphia), Wesley Johnson (New Jersey), Derrick Favors (Minnesota) and DeMarcus Cousins (Sacramento) in the first five spots.

    According to sources the Warriors are intrigued with Udoh’s ability to be a game-changer more so than Monroe, especially on the defensive end.

    If Udoh does go No. 6 and Detroit goes with North Carolina’s Ed Davis, which is what those close to Davis and the league expect, then the Los Angeles Clippers would have a tough decision at No. 8. According to a source close to the situation, the Clippers would have a hard time deciding between Monroe or Wake Forest’s Al-Farouq Aminu. If the Clippers go with Aminu then Monroe becomes the first slider in the lottery, likely landing at No. 9 Utah unless Detroit changes direction and goes with Monroe over Davis.

    Meanwhile, multiple sources say Oklahoma City isn’t done trying to make moves after getting the No. 18 pick and Daequon Cook from Miami earlier Wednesday. Sources said Indiana continues to be a possible destination for a trade. The Pacers’ No. 10 has been on the market if the Pacers can land a point guard in a deal. Indiana had looked long at Udoh at No. 10 if the Pacers kept the pick. If the Warriors go with Udoh at No. 6 then the Pacers might be more apt to deal.

    This reminds me of the trading deadline: all those deals passing us by, it seems like we're not going to do anything...

    I sure hope something big happens, but I'm starting to get irritated.

    to be honest, I don't want cousins. I'm hoping we don't get the 4th pick to draft him.

    Until Morey came away with Martin, Hill, 2 draft picks :p I'm not expecting anything major to happen tomorrow.
