Agreed.

Then I cross my fingers Burke or McCollum RANDOMLY fall to 12 :D :D :D

Tony Mitchell to 29 :D :D :D

don't forget who will be traded as a result and what the lineups will be with the new pick.
Woj is the new Bucher. Shams is the new Woj. Espn is the new TMZ. The NBA is the new WWE.
Boo.

I'd take toronto's unprotected 2014 pick and Fields

Toronto is actively pushing for the finals, that pick would be horrible

The Nets seem serious about spending $ and staying competitive, so the unprotected picks may not be so valuable

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.

Why don't we want to keep this guy?

With all these teams pursuing Oladipo, including Presti and OKC, I'm getting more excited for drafting the next Michael Jordan.

JK right? that's a potential lottery pick imo and Fields is a solid player. i mean the East is so bad they may make the playoffs but Finals?

All these tweets make it sound like the Magic will take Oladipo and then just let teams like the Thunder and T-Wolves out bid each other for him. Very smart by Hennigan if that's the case. Less than an hour left, I can't wait to see what happens!
