Dennis Schroeder also has no interest in being "stashed" overseas. That's why the Celtics probably don't take him at 16.

I think I'd take Oladipo #1. Unfathomable a few months ago.

Me too!

Me too. There is nobody else I would take a #1. My biggest worry is if we did trade LMA for #1 we would take Noel or Len. That would be really upsetting and would set us back for years.

But trading LMA for Olapido would still set us back years, right? It's not so much who you pick, but losing LMA.

Utah wants to move up from 14. Indiana's No. 23 is in play for a move. Sacramento definitely likes C.J. McCollum as a possibility at 7.

It sounds like the Orlando Magic really like Nerlens Noel. If the Cleveland Cavaliers select Alex Len at No. 1, Orlando may go with Noel.

Still not a lot of interest in trades/purchases for picks in mid-to-late 20s. That has been the case since February. Browsing will continue.

The run on point guards should start around the middle of the lottery, and then it’s going to be good: sulia.com/c/basketball/f…

Mock Draft 7.1 coming: picks 10, 12, 22 & 23 changing ...

After free falling for a month, a few teams are talking up Archie Goodwin. Could re-emerge in the 20's. #NBADraft

I think he will go in the 1st, too much raw talent...

There are still questions about Oladipo, and teams are intrigued by McLemore's upside. I've been told Oladipo could slip all the way to PHX.

If Zeller is rising up the boards, who's falling? McLemore? #Pistons fans if you have the choice btw McLemore and Burke….?


lol.....this draft is shaping up to be total chaos....

The Magic favor Victor Oladipo if they keep the 2nd pick. If Noel slips to 2 they will hold an auction to highest bidder.

@bigjohnNEP: My sources tell me there will be multiple draft picks and trades made in the next 12 hours! #insideinfo

Compounding Giannis Adetokoubo issue with refusal to stay in Europe is his significant buyout, as much as 2 million according to sources.

I love it. Much more interesting and fun when you don't know what's gonna happen.

The Portland Trail Blazers are supposedly open to moving power forward LaMarcus Aldridge. They are said to be seeking two first-rounders and a player in return.

Rehash of tweet last night...

and CLE has no consensus on whom to take...

Screw Ford and ESPN. I hate that they charge you for Insider to see some of their best content.

Rumor was that the 3 "draft" leaders for CLE all had 3 different players they wanted.

It's completely possible Southerland and Hill don't get drafted either. If so, I'd try and snag one of them for the summer league roster.

I could see POR take Southerland with one of thier 2nd rounders....they interviewed him at the combine and he came out for a workout and he fits what they are looking for from a b\u SF...He can shoot, at minimum it would create competition woth Claver whose shot was hit\miss (more) all year....

Multiple reports suggest Adetokoubo won't stay in Europe -- draft stock may fall or it may be rumour designed to cause his stock to fall.

Didn't even think of that possibility...

I'm gonna start an S2 Insider option. In order to see the best posters posts ,mainly me, you gotta pay $5 a month!

Alex Len wasn't a 1st-, 2nd- or even 3rd-team All-ACC player in 2012-13. Now, he might become the 1st overall draft pick?


Wow, and he has stress fracture...

A friendly reminder that at some point today (think its 2 PM Eastern) all trades involving picks may not be official under after pick made

Pinwheel Empire ‏@pinwheelempire 2m
So, if the Blazers for example were to trade up to the 3rd pick and deal included 10th pick, deal not official until after 10th pick.

 

[OregonHuskerMan]

While Cleveland has settled on Len if they keep the pick, the Orlando Magic are in a curious position. Orlando loves Victor Oladipo but are having serious discussions with Oklahoma City, Minnesota, and Portland about trading down with teams looking to grab Ben McLemore or Nerlens Noel.

The Wizards, according to a source, have placed Anthony Bennett at the top of their board. Bennett combined with John Wall and Bradley Beal would give the Wizards a dynamic threesome with plenty of offensive versatility. While some in the organization still like Otto Porter and think he is a safe choice, Bennett is the guy they are leaning toward.

The would allow Porter to drop to Charlotte at No. 4, which makes Michael Kidd-Gilchrist expendable. The teams trying hardest to get him are Golden State, Milwaukee, Boston and Atlanta.

Anyway - Chris Sheridan had all this to say

Barring a trade, #Cavs will take Alex Len with No. 1 pick. #Magic expected to trade No. 2 pick. Mock Draft 8.0: sheridanhoops.com/2013/06/27/moc…

#10 Adams (passing on Zeller)

What I know this morning: 1. Cavs 1st option is to trade the pick. Looking for a young veteran + a 2014 lottery pick in return

This is truly hilarious. As in stupid.

This is truly hilarious. As in stupid.

Fits with the rumor that they are completely overvaluing the #1 pick.
