I still love the trade as well. I just don't think there is any way Brooklyn ends up out of the top 3 this year

Why would you love the trade if you thought there was no way we'd get the pick this year? If Brooklyn gets a top 3 pick, they'll probably be pretty good next year and we'll end up with a shitty pick when it's all said and done. What's to like about that? Shawne Williams?

If they win the lottery and lose Dwill they become worse. If they win the lottery and keep Dwill then were destined for a mid twenties pick.
 
What are you talking about..... They have and excellent chance at getting a top 3 pick!

It's still an asset
 
Just read on hoopshype that the Nets nearly traded Okur and the pick for Paul Pierce. I'm glad that deal fell through.

Are you guys seriously worried that we wont get that pick this year?

very. would like them to win at least one more game of their last 4 to assure they finish no worse than 5-6. if they lose all 4 they could easily end up 4th which has a around a 38% chance at top 3. that's an ugly number for us.

also N.O. seems to be really bad at tanking apparently, and although it's a long shot 3rd worst is in the mix now if NJ loses all 4, which would make the pick a coin flip.

I thought I heard Mike & Mike say during one of the recent games that the pick is only protected pre-lottery? In other words, we only lose the pick (this year) if it's in the top-3 before the ping pong balls do their thing. Did I hear that wrong?

No. That is not correct It is protected top three, top two and top one in the next three years. NJ can vault up and get it if they land in those spots after the ping pong balls

If NJ ends up getting Wallace AND a top 3 pick this year, they robbed us.
 
Then we will get their pick next year or the year after. It's a guaranteed first at some point. We gave up two firsts for the potential of a lottery pick or at worst 1 first
 
Still #6 and #11. Probably end up with this combo on draft day. Very cool with this.
 
nbadraft.net has us taking lamb and sullinger, i would be pretty stoked with that
 
It will be interesting to see what the mocks look like when they actually figure in needs and not just slot players.

If Portland ends up 7 and 11 and can't deal one of those picks for someone, then I hope they draft BPA
 
I have not been impressed with Henson. He's just like the Wright kid from NC a couple years ago.
 
At least Henson averaged 10 reb, 3 blk. I'm nervous about P. Jones. Same size, but lower numbers and a desire to be the tallest 3 in the league. At least Henson appears to do two things that are valuable in the NBA. Wright was not as long as Henson was he? Wright was an underweight 3/4 tweener. Henson at least has legit length to be a 4.

Wright was measured 6'10" in shoes, with a reach at 7'3.75". Definite length to be a 4.
 
IF it is #6 and #11 POR needs to try and get that #2 stud to put next to LA, at those picks you are looking at

Barnes, Lamb, Rivers, P.Jones or Beal if he somehow miraculously slipped to #6. Take 2 of those players and hope ONE develops as a #2 guy, if you are lucky and\or the new GM is astute maybe you hit on both of them...

Taking Henson, Marshall, Lillard or Zeller screams of reaching for a need AGAIN...that would be a mistake...What this team needs more than anything else is a solid #2 guy to fit in b\t Aldridge (#1) and Batum (we hope a #3 guy)...Take 2 swings at it and hope for the best, fuck position, you go BPA all the way. Address the PG in free agency, you don't need a superstar there, although I would definitely make a run at D-Will and maybe Nash...but a guy like Dragic or maybe even Arron Brooks would suffice enough next to an Aldridge\Batum and 2 of those 4.
 
I might be one of the few who thinks Davis will not be a star in the NBA. Not strong enough. Built like KG, but doesn't have his handles and outside game.

He was a PG in high school. He has plenty of handles and outside game. Kentucky didn't need him on the perimeter shooting jumpers. They had plenty of those guys already.
 
P. Jones is an interesting case. I heard one analyst rave about his potential once he leaves the Baylor system.

From what I saw it had nothing to do with any kind of system. It had to do with him drifting around and not looking enthused about playing.
