Zombie 2012 NBA Draft

[ironcrotch]

NOW that would piss me off!

THAT right there is a smoke screen. Just enough to throw some people off and mix up the possibilities a little bit.

Interesting, but not surprising - they mention that one GM says Portland is looking to possibly deal the picks for a "major star".

NOW that would not piss me off!

That is still what I think they will do

That is what I thought, but lately I'm thinking we'll use and keep both picks/players.

I'm not against Lillard at 6 if nobody falls to us that normally wouldn't have been there. I would LOVE to get Lillard at 11 but I highly doubt he'll be there. I'm not against Lillard, Lamb, or Rivers. We need someone who can create their own shot desperately on this team, and I would think that any of those three would be capable of filling that need. Really, the two things this team needs is someone who can break down the defense and someone who can score inside.

Got some great stuff from Dion Waiters about his "promise" from Phoenix and why he's decided not to work out for anyone. Full video coming.

Fun read for those of you who think Simmons is funny. Ford is a great strait man. http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/8100861/ford-vs-simmons

This is the new status quo for me.

Bill Simmons: I'm judging every lottery pick in this draft by one question: "Could you have played in that insanely athletic 2012 Finals I just watched?"

NBA source said yesterday that it's possible Austin Rivers goes to Portland at 6 and likely Barnes goes to GSWs at 7 or to Toronto at 8.

I hope we can get Barnes or Thomas Robinson. Thats my dream scenario. I wouldn't be terribly surprised if Lillard drops to 11 anyways.

Wow... I lasted all of 30 seconds. I could swear someone was in the background dragging their fingernails down a chalkboard.

Based on the information, the Cleveland #Cavs working out Washington SG Terrence Ross today is an indication that he is a target for the Cavs to move up and draft. Not likely to trade down for him.

He'll be there at #11.

If we swap picks with Cleveland, and then draft Lillard at #4.... color me disappointed.

Me as well. I like Lillard, but not enough to cry if he is gone before 6

Don't overreact to Beal's mediocre 33.9 3Pt% this yr. Eric Gordon shot only 33.7% at IU. Beal has a sweet stroke and quick release like EG.

Same. If he's gone at #6, I'd be okay with any of the other consensus top-5 guys.

I *might* even be okay with Waiters at #6.
