    Biyombo has a contractual issue that's come up in Spain and he may not immediately get federation clearance to leave for NBA, source says.

    That could be good for us if it pushes Biyumbo to 14...

    oh well, not our problem since we won't be able to move up enough spots for him. I doubt it's enough to cause him to fall also.

    So who is at 14? These guys wnat who? Biyombo and Tristan Thompson? Everyone avoiding Morey like the plague again? All dealing with each other all in one trade? Nice.

    Yeah, but with Biyombo gone should we?

    I guess we could ... to lock up Donatas Motiejunas. Given that the Spurs are after him, trying to trade for the #10 pick to get him.

    The draft is going to come and go as it has the last few years, and we will get a few second round picks, while other teams trade players like jackson for the 7th pick. I mean couldnt we offer something better for the 7th pick than that?! :confused:

    There are plenty of players left at #8. Biyombo shouldn't be considered the end all, be all. The main concern is whether or not Morey still wants to move up that high now that Biyombo is off the board.

    it's not certain Biyombo will be off the board. T.Thompson could have been the player Detroit covets.

    It is HIGHLY doubtful that Morey is after Biyombo...

    Keep our pick. Do not overpay. If they are moving up for guys like Biyombo and Donatas that means they are passing up better talent for bigs. So that means alot of the better guys at SF and SG who are ranked higher in talent will fall to us if they take these guys who are slated to go mid round before they moved. That means guys like Kawhi Leonard, Kemba Walker, and Klay Thompson should fall to us. Hope Morey drafts them and he can move Kevin Martin, Kyle Lowry, or Budinger if one of them pans out great or keep them.
