Hayes isn't in Sacto boy!

Chuck Hayes most certainly is.

 

[BrianFromWA]

Um, I didn't mean he lives there during the summer, I mean he plays for the Kings. ?

Updated Mock Draft, with change back to Waiters at No. 7 having domino effect. New breakdown for Kings, too - http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2012/writers/sam_amick/06/28/nba-mock-draft-2012/index.html

Yes. If Waiters, Lillard or Barnes are there. RT @LJSunTzu Hornets want Rivers really bad. Is there anyway Toronto passes on him?

Sources say Minnesota offered Derrick Williams to Charlotte in exchange for the #2 pick. Bobcats quickly rejected.

 

[Rastapopoulos]

If Waiters goes at 4 does that mean we have to take Barnes? Bleh.

Sources: Cavs have Beal, MKG, Barnes atop board. Waiters/Ross not in mix at 4 http://espn.go.com/nba/draft2012/st...y-beal-michael-kidd-gilchrist-harrison-barnes (insider)

Sources say that as of Thursday, Kidd-Gilchrist had a slight lead over Barnes for the No. 4 pick.

The Cavs have also shown interest in Dion Waiters and Terrence Ross, but sources say that interest doesn't extend to the No. 4 pick. The Cavs have been trying to acquire another top 10 pick and would consider those players there if they can make a deal.

I knew it -- this was a ploy IMO to get the #6/#11

Hahaha that would have been a great phone call to listen in on.

It must be a really bad offer to make Cho act quickly.

If John Henson slips by Detroit at 9, Portland could consider him but seems set on Meyers Leonard. Henson to the Bucks has legs.

Is Henson really that appealing?

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Is Henson really that appealing?

I dont think so. I want Zeller if we are going for a big.

According to league sources, the Chicago Bulls are drafting Tyshawn Taylor from Kansas tonight with the 29th pick -- backup for Derrick Rose

Really?


No offense, but yeck.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

According to Bucher and others there is strong indication Drummond will be there at #9 causing Henson to slip.

#9: Drummond
#10: Zeller/Rivers
#11: Leonard

#9: Drummond
#10: Zeller/Rivers
#11: Leonard

If he's there at 8, we should make a strong push to move from 11 to 8 with minor pieces. Chances are, Detroit is oging big regardless. N.O. a wild card, but toronto can very likely get the prospect they want at 1 they would take at 8. Say Waiters, if he was there.

 

[Natebishop3]

I realize it's highly unlikely, but if Drummond were to slip to 11 I would be one happy camper.

OH MAN, the smoke is thick

Amick: Blazers Want To Trade Up To 3 To Draft Dion Waiters? sbn.to/LRKrB4

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

Really?


No offense, but yeck.

I think Zeller is a safe pick. I think it's a lock that he'll be a very solid starting C for 10 years. He's a well rounded big.

 

[Nikolokolus]

I realize it's highly unlikely, but if Drummond were to slip to 11 I would be one happy camper.

That's a decent intersection between risk and reward, I still think it's highly likely that he turns into a bust, but at least if he is you probably don't get fired for drafting him there versus in the top 7.

Sam Amick of SI.com reports that the Portland Trail Blazers could look to trade up from the No. 6 spot to the No. 3 pick held by the Washington Wizards in order to select Syracuse guard Dion Waiters.
----------------------------
One executive said on Wednesday night that Cleveland (No. 4) was under the impression that Portland was attempting to use its No. 6 pick to get Washington's No. 3 pick and draft Syracuse shooting guard Dion Waiters. Then Yahoo! Sports reported that the Cavs -- who were at the front of that line of teams trying to get to No. 2 in order to pick Florida shooting guard Bradley Beal -- were seriously considering Waiters at No. 4.

While Waiters is known to be in the Cavs' mix, sending out the message that he's their guy at No. 4 could lead to Beal's landing in their lap. Here's that scenario: The Bobcats select Kansas power forward Thomas Robinson, as many expect them to do if they keep the No. 2 pick. Then the Trail Blazers, if successful in obtaining the third pick, take Waiters there, leaving Beal to Cleveland.

The dude is softer than charmin ... yucky.

I wouldn't be too happy with getting to 3 for waiters

Come on Neil!

This would be great to get the guy they want, even if it means trading to #3

So the Blazers leapfrog up the draft to take a player rumored to be available at 6, and also passing on Beal along the way? Defininite smoke and mirrors.
