#3 + Rubio for #1

[dwill82]

I think it is too early to say what you do if you have the #3 pick. Everything is so cloudy with rubio mainly because of the potential of a hard cap that it's to early to say. The bottomline is if you have the #1 pick you take Wall (even though I am a bigger fan of Turner) because he is a sure thing to play. You then try and do everytning you can to get Turner because you have all the right assets to do so. Now if you have the #2 pick you take Turner. Those are the only things clear right now.

Also I saw the conversation about Wall v. Rubio's passing. Not a contest, Rubio is better and likely will always be. It is apples and oranges though. Rubio is a pass first PG who makes plays for others. Wall is a score first PG who makes plays for himself and then for others. Wall does have good vision but not great decision making skills. In fact his decision making skills leave a lot to be desired considering his assist to turnover is atrocious.....and that is on a college level. Wall is a dynamic player with a higher ceiling than Rubio, but not a better passer. I am still a huge Rubio fan even though I understand why you have to choose Wall if you win the lottery.

I know DSW loved Evans and Harden, I did as well. I don't remember ShoeStore being such a Rubio-hater? Is that new?

ShoeStore?

DSW is an abbreviated form of Devilz name, and is also the name of a shoe store. Direct Shoe Warehouse??? I'm not sure the long name, the there is a shoe stored nambed DSW.

I thought it was Discount Shoe Warehouse, they're so cheap?

Not a chance I consider this trade.

That's nonsense. If Kahn feels Turner is a better player than Wall, he'd be an idiot to take Wall, particularly with the current construction of this roster. Who knows how Turner would be valued by the team that picks him. The draft is enough of a crapshoot already, there's no need to outthink yourself like that. That's how Dwyane Wade ended up with Michael Beasley as his wingman.

how about a different scenario....

what if we get the number 1 pick. would we trade the rights to rubio and pekovic to NJ (assuming they get #2) for the ability to draft turner as well. I would also think about including the utah pick. Lopez and Pekovic would look pretty good together actually.

NJ
Rubio
Lee
Williams
Pekovic
Lopez


Minny
Darko - Sanders (cha. pick)
Love - Hollins
SF (Via Big Al trade) - Turner
Turner - Brewer - Ellington
Wall - Flynn

Why in the hell would Minny even consider this?! Wall is a helluva talent but so was Greg Oden. I like Rubio more then Wall to begin with but to move Rubio + Turner or Cousins or Johnson for Wall is stupid.
