    You guys really want to move up in THIS draft? It looks so weak, guys that are going to be drafted in the top 10 and maybe even the top 5 could be career role players.

    Clips traded the #1 pick to save $12 millions, really-- the difference between Mo Williams' contract and Baron Davis'.

    Blake Griffin will for sure stay a Clipper now.

    T-Wolves need to trade that pick. Derrick Williams is a franchise PF, and is not the type of guy you can pass on. Unless you have a franchise PF already, which the T-Wolves already do.

    Martin/Patterson/ + 23rd pick for the 2nd overall pick.

    I really want to trade OUT of this draft completely. What's Morey's number?

    Whoever in the Clippers office who decided not to protect their pick to the Cavs is sweating bullets right now

    Minnesota will pick Biyombo at number 2. No joke on that one.

    Yes, he has Tracy McGrady-like (in his prime) quickness and athleticism.

    And I would doubt anyone Derrick Williams

    BINGO...Williams is the only guy, in this draft, I'd bet money on that he becomes a difference maker. Kanter is the other guy I'd target but not sure about passing up Williams for him.

    We were 4 losses away from the 3rd pick?

    NBA is rigged.

    Morey got a lottery-protected 2013 pick for taking on Thabeet's contract. Gilbert got the #1 pick for taking on Baron's (an actually serviceable player) contract.

    Bring Adelman back and fire Morey.

    kanter is so unathletic the wolves cant put him next to love. its the reason they had to move jefferson. couldn't have two unathletic guys playing big minutes next to each other.

    they will go BPA (williams) or PG (walker/knight).

    The pick can't be protected, Cavs essentially paid 12M for that pick, they won't do it unless its unprotected. Looking at the clips reminds of the cliche about a boy selling his baseball card for $100 only to find out it was for 2M lol.

    Anyway, IMHO it really sucks that so many people like Perry Jones decided to skip this draft. I wanted us to get Kanter :rolleyes:

    you KNOW the Jazz are going to pick Jimmer with that 3rd pick so it's not that big of a deal they got a top 3 pick. Actually it probably helps everyone else since they'll take him early.
