Last year for example, it was widely reported that the Spurs where willing to trade T.Parker for a high lottery pick.
 
and yet they did not....and I am sure teams offered....

And yet he remains a Spur

It was widely reported that Rondo was readily available this year, and yet he is still a Celtic
 
^thought the exact same thing. Thinking he will not get past #3.

Wow, that guy is high if he thinks Drummond will be there at #6

Shit, I'm hoping all the GM's drafting before us are HIGH so that he drops to us. I've been saying all along that Drummond was the player I want out of this draft.
 
For the record, that draft wouldn't be too shabby. I'd be happy with Drummond at #6 (we won't be drafting at 6, but I'll dream for once), and 1 of the several players that that mock has as available at #11.

I could see Drummond at #4. But no way he slides any further IMO.

AD will go #1. I could see MKG and Beal being drafted ahead of Drummond, depending on the day, how the Top-3 works out in terms of draft order, etc.
 
I could see Drummond sliding if he comes across passive in workouts. If he shows a lack of interest in the game, he could drop. Doubtful, but possible. Also, if Harrison Barnes and Beal both look like stars in their workouts . . .
 
I don't know? Being passive and showing a lack of interest for the game still made Greg Oden a number one pick

I just don't see how either of those guys' workouts would really move them ahead of a big body like Drummond. Beal, maybe. But I can't see it with Barnes.
 
The key for Barnes would be to show more athleticism and an improved handle. If he can show that, plus some aggressiveness and still hit a bunch of shots, he could look very tempting for someone looking for a wing.

I have to believe Drummond won't tank his workouts and their will remain a big gap betweein 1-5 and 6-15.
 
Not that I think he is an expert but I was surprised at how much Mice Rice said his son (Rutger's coach) didnt like the guy (Drummond) and had known him for a long time. He also said how much he likes MKG and Robinson. For the record I like how Drummond looks but we better have the right coach if he needs direction or motivation if he is as Mice Rice Jr says he is.

I think a great second career choice for one of our draft picks would be orthopedics or podiatry

I will say this. For all his drunk ramblings, Rice knows basketball, and his son seems to be a damn good coach as well
 
Here's a nice discussion of how MKG might fit on the Wizards. Portland relevant quote:

MKG's fit with the Wizards wouldn't be as poor as Turner's with the 76ers, which is really about as bad a situation as he could have been dropped into, but it wouldn't be very good. As great as the last month of the season was, the Wizards still aren't a great or even good team, so their identity isn't set in stone and no one other than Wall should be considered untouchable. However, it's more likely than not that Kidd-Gilchrist would be spending significant amounts of time playing next to Wall and one or two big men who aren't very good shooters, and it's fairly unlikely that a sharp-shooting, shot-creating shooting guard winds up here any time soon.

As a result, it would be worth it to take him if he's head and shoulders above the other players who are available, but if he's just a little bit better than someone who would fit much better in D.C., the Wizards should pass on him and sign someone like Nicolas Batum who might be a better fit for the team.
