    Durant, I heard OKC is looking to move him to free up some cap space.

    This as well. Waiters is the one I want us to pick if we get to trade up to the middle of the lottery. If not, I'm intrigued by Ross.

    Drummond

    He may never be a star, but looks near ready to be a great NBA defensive specialist. Shot Blocking, check. Help defense check. Pick and role defense, check. Can hold his ground in post, check. I expect DMo to become the starting PF by 2013-2014 Season if he survives today's trading frenzy (please oh please let there be a frenzy). It would be nice to give Dmo some backup on defensive end.

    People complain about Drummond's lack of offensive skills, but I don't think that will keep him from being a good value if he does the following:
    1. Learn to box out on defensive end!
    2. Get FT% up to 65%
    3. Learn to box out on defensive end!

    If he learns some offensive moves, jackpot!

    Andre Drummond.

    I think at worst he is going to be a stud defensive center. I think he will fit well playing next to Motiejunas as a center that plays closer to the basket while Motiejunas will play all over the court. Plus he adds shot blocking which is something the club will be missing with the trade of Dalembert.

    If we can get to guys in the top ten, I'd rather cut bait and build around those two.

    Drummond and Lillard would be cool. Add PJ3 in the mix and would love to just suck while watching Lillard, Parsons, Drummond, PJ3, D-Mo, develop over the next couple of years.

    Trade Lowry/Scola/Martin for future picks.

    Deron Williams, because if we get Deron, we get Dwight.

    What about Al Jefferson? Or Enes Kanter? Why does it have to be Dwight or a rookie?

    Kevin Walter. He may not be as good as the other players but we know that with him it doesn't matter whether he's good or not.

    I never said you did, I was just asking in reality, why does Morey seem so hellbent on either a rookie or Dwight?

    A$$

    Rudy Gay...

    I heard he's about to show the world he's on Durant's level.

    BEAL!

    Jared Cunningham with an acquired later 1st would also be a plus.

    Damian Lillard... He's a PG but he is raw. He can run the floor and also score. He has all the arsenal you need in a great PG. No point in drafting for a center just because you need a center when you have a better overall player on the plate. My thing is, if you have a chance to draft a better overall player with more potential to be a greater player, you take him and then you take care of your needed position later. If we need a center, the Rockets can always sign one through FA or trade for one. No point in just drafting just for need.

    Steve Kerr and Mike Fratello was talking about drafting the best talent available and then draft for your position needed in the 2nd round.

    In all seriousness the answer and only answer is Dwight Howard.

    He's the best big man in the league by far. Nobody can shut down the defensive paint like him. If you were to build a Championship team you start with LeBron, Durant and DWIGHT. In no particular order but I'd go with Dwight. Very few players in the league are true game changers. Dwight is one of them. I don't care if he whines. I don't care if he might no resign. He's proven that he's the real deal.

    For those that doubt Dwight.. Lets play a game called build a Dynamic Duo. If you could build a team with any 2 players in the league. Every answer will always include DWIGHT.

    Whether it's Kobe + Dwight, LBJ + Dwight, Durant + Dwight, Rose + Dwight etc. Dwight is the one constant.
