What a change in the back-court that would be..good lord. That's fun basketball.

Our team will still be raw enough to tank one more season.

caught that also. Said it's very likely that Afflalo/Bledsoe eventually happens.

He also praised Oladipo and his work ethics and team-first mentalitiy. described him as someone that will come in and work and stick to the script. To me, that sounds exactly like a spurs-type of player.

Hearing Suns are offering Cavs 5 & 30 for 1. Not yet known how Cavs view the offer. Suns after Noel.

Why would the Cavs do that?

Got to think that if the Cavs don't take Noel, we will be talking business with Phoenix. I don't mind the idea of 5 and 30 for 2.

Unfortunately I think that's who we take

If they want Len, he will likely be there and they get another pick too. I could see it happening.

Time for Henny to shine...

Cavs must know they can get their guy at 5 (Len)

They are EXTREMELY HIGH on Karasev. They could then package the 19 & 30 & move up some to make sure they walk away with Len & Karasev.

dude there is nothing unfortunate about it, even if you don't like Oladipo there are quite a few teams that do so you can trade him to the highest bidder. Nobody in this draft got the kind of heat Oladipo has on him, select him and see what you can get and if the price isn't right you still have a good prospect. you can't lose imo

mBo ‏@MagicBasketball 35s
FWIW, just heard from another unrelated source that they think Oladipo will be the pick, regardless of who is available at two.

Not getting attached to Oladipo until draft night ends.

InFlames · Post #32 » by **InFlames** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 10:03 pm

That deal is good for Boston if those picks are unprotected, taking back Wallace is kinda sickening but whatever. It also seems like a pretty good deal for Brooklyn but is extremely risky.

rcklsscognition · Post #33 » by **rcklsscognition** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 10:10 pm

All I'm hoping is that whatever needs to happen for us to trade Oladipo happens if he is our pick. If there's a guy that needs to be on the board at 9, please let that guy be there.

Steve Kyler ‏@stevekylerNBA 55s
As is stands... looks like #1 - Nerlens Noel #2 - Victor Oladipo #3 - Otto Porter Jr #4 - Cody Zeller #5 - Ben McLemore #6 - Trey Burke

Very high for Zeller imo

It's the Bobcats though.....would you really be that shocked?!

Less than an hour and a half to go

Ken Berger ‏@KBergCBS 20s
Expect a selloff of late first-round picks. Pacers (23), Clippers (25), Wolves (26) and Nuggets (27) among teams looking to bail.

lol Zeller at 4, typical from Charlotte

It is Michael Jordan we're talking about at 4. If Zeller goes 4, Bennett is going to fall fast.

Sign me up for the Oladipo bandwagon
