    Lamb with 13th pick is delusional, you will only get Doron Lamb if you want a Lamb with our picks.

    DraftExpress has Lamb as the 12th best prospect in this draft class... him falling to 13th is not delusional.

    I think Jeremy Lamb will be a better NBA player than Harrison Barnes.

    I know this a dream scenario, but the team cant just trade Martin, Scola, Lowry, Bud, Patterson, Dalembert, Morris(39.75 Million in salary) and get nothing in return salary cap wise.

    Im sure Morey would love to package all of those guys for a Dwight rental or something similar where he was only taking back one star player & a massive TPE, but again thats why its a dream scenario.

    Yeah. I mean you could replace some of those "FA" with returning salary. Like for example relieving New Orleans of their Okafor contract. But you get the idea.

    I'm not sure that he's in the top 10 on the ESPN Mock Draft board, either.

    I don't like the nbadraft, draftexpress, espn mocks, they all have huge flaws. There are some smaller sites with good mocks.

    Give me someone that can break their defender down and create their own shots. We should have taken MarShon Brooks last year.

    I'm hoping we'll draft a wing/big man combination.

    Hopefully we can nab either Lamb, Rivers, or Ross.

    As far as big men go, Leyonard or Zeller look solid.

    Similar to this, but I feel we should trade/waive/cut everyone one the current roster except Dragic, Pardons, Camby, and Morris, then get Drummond and Perry Jones.

    Dragic/Llull
    Jones/??
    Parsons/Jones/Morris
    Motiejunas/??
    Drummond/Camby

    Check out my write up that I did in the Random trade thread. Could be a real possibilty to move up the draft and get your boy.

    All mock drafts have flaws. Why do you think Lamb won't fall? He didn't have a great sophomore year plus this draft has quite a few big men who are always drafted high regardless of skill.
