I'll give the benefit of the doubt to Rob though.

Deron Lamb is a very good shooter that is 6'4 and can play both guard positions. Don't sleep on him.

Lets say the Cavs do get the 5th & 30th from the Suns.

They would have the 5th (Len)...19th, 30th, 31st, & 33rd.

They would def be moving up to get their guy Karasev with that ammunition as well.

This post made me excited then depressed.

I'm going to laugh when we take someone out of left field like Karasev

lol

this is funnier though because the opinions are more diverse, when it comes to the approval or disapproval, not only it's just two option but also most will get used to the idea of having the guy and trust Hennigan until proven wrong, except for a minority that are have a strong preference.

Oklahoma City is pushing hard for a deal with Orlando to secure the No. 2 pick and draft Indiana's Victor Oladipo, league sources tell Y!

In proposed deal, the Nets will send 3 first round draft picks, 2014, 2016, and 2018, the later two are COMPLETELY UNPROTECTED!!!

Come on Rob bring Perry Jones to Orlando.

To me Oladipo works well in OKC, he's got Westbrook and Durant who can score and he can defend and score 10 PPG. Lamb and their two first rounders might be enough for me.

Won't matter, they have multiple all stars locked in for years with this deal, will at worst be late teens

man screw OKC, can't let the rich keep getting richer. We are the 99%!!!!!!

Give me Lamb and Jackson then we talk. And if a team like OKC is really interested in Oladipo, shouldn't that validate the notion that we're getting a good player? Yes, still a rookie that hasn't proven anything, but some top scouts are after this guy hard.

In Henny I trust.

They better be recruiting a third team then. Otherwise, OKC simply doesn't have enough assets, IMO.

Adrian Wojnarowski ‏@WojYahooNBA 50s
Minnesota remains in pursuit of the No. 2 pick, eyeing Oladipo too. In a draft that scares everyone, no one chased harder than IU's guard.

I said it yesterday, and I will say it again. If OKC can turn PJ3, Lamb, or Jackson and their garbage late picks into another lottery pick to package with the 12......then sign me up. 6,7,or 8 and 12 would be awesome
