DO IT, CLEVELAND! TAKE WAITERS @ 4.

freakin morons.

Well they reached last year big time on Tristan Thompson. I'd be pleased as punch if they did it again!

Waiters at 4 would be crazy IMO but who the fuk knows, could just be the usual smoke as well, glad it will finally be over later today! GO BLAZERS!

Speaking of CLE/POR scenarios...

I think it's odd that they all-of-a-sudden have a lot of interest in Waiters.

Yesterday the rushed a last minute second workout with Terrence Ross.

Anyone else sense a #6/11 for #4/#24?

If Soup Juggler is really the target, that makes sense, but hopefully Cleveland would add a bit more to that deal

Sources say that the Pistons flew to NY to see Andre Drummond workout on Tuesday evening just in case he slides to 9.

 

[Boise Blazer]

I really hope that our picks are at least good if they cant be great because this draft feels like one of those drafts where a really good team is going to draft a "steal" late in the first round that turns out to be a gem. And that will just piss me off.

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider
I think the Pistons would likely take Drummond at 9 if he slides to them tonight.

Source: Bobcats have five legit offers they're currently exploring to trade the second pick overall in tonight's NBA Draft.

Sources: Perry Jones knee issue may be the cause of draft night slide

Chad Ford ‏@chadfordinsider
Knee isn't only concern for PJ3. Obviously teams have questions about his motor and position. But it's complicated things ..

Word from Jared Sullinger's camp is that the OSU big man should not slide past the Celtics tonight. #NBADraft

This sounds exactly like the kind of thing a team would spread around to get a guy to slide...... but if it's actually true, BAD BAD BAD.... STAY AWAY.

Boise Blazer, like your avi. I'll see if I can find a good luck avi for the day.

FWIW, I was listening to local (SF) sports radio this morning and they were going all out about how the Warriors want Waiters at 7. I mean, they made him sound like the second coming of, if not MJ, at least Dwyane Wade or somesuch.

I have no idea why GS would want to pair another short guard with Curry after the failed experiment with Monta.

Sometimes it seems like all GS cares about is offensive weapons. They dont seem to care about size, defense, common sense ...

Kings Leaning Toward Picking Drummond Over Barnes
Jun 28, 2012 10:02 AM EDT


The Kings continue to discuss a deal with the Rockets involving the fifth overall pick, according to sources.

Sacramento doesn't have a strong sentiment towards any player at this slot and sources believes Geoff Petrie is leaning toward selecting Andre Drummond over Harrison Barnes if the pick is retained.

Houston's latest offer of Kyle Lowry and the No. 16 pick was rejected by the Kings.

I'm really hoping Barnes doesn't slide to us... I'm not thrilled with him. I would much rather have MKG if we're going to pick a SF. I was pretty shocked that he was getting all this consideration in the top five anyway.

This could be one of the craziest drafts in a long time. Everything seems up in the air right now. There could be a ton of trades.... or none. It seems like the only lock is Davis at #1 and that's it. I'm psyched.

Lillard is an outstanding jump shooter with well above-average athletic ability. He sees the floor well and is as efficient a player as you could ask for. In all likelihood, he will turn into an All-Star point guard.

but do we pass on Barnes if he falls?

They can aggressively move up to 6 by parting with Rondo.
