Reminds me of the scare around Batum's heart condition that hit his draft stock right before the 2008 draft.

this is all just fake lies. there will be no roller coaster today.

it will probably be more like Splash Mountain. A lot of really boring stuff, with 1 big thing.

Lol at the Suns trading for 1st overall by just giving up their pick and the last pick of the draft.

I would assume that CLE has better offers than that.

We're hearing from league sources that Nerlens Noel's knee was red flagged by Suns. There's speculation that he could slip out of top 10.
5:36 PM - 27 Jun 2013

Wow

Obvious smokescreen is obvious.

I wouldn't be surprised if Oladipo and McLemore go 1-2. Just noticed only draftee Dan Gilbert follows on twitter is Oladipo.

Our draft fate completely relies on Cleveland Len at #1. Please let that happen

Anyone else sitting there with a big stupid grin on their face but a queezy feeling in their stomach watching all this right now? I think it's time to start drinking.

Yep. Any little snippet could be the difference between Noel going #1, or Len going #1 which guarantees us One of Oladipo, McLemore, Noel or Porter.

Yep, I'm sure they are upset to have yet another number one pick. :roll:

A number one and four, then a number four, and now another number one.

Happy draft day. The Suns would like for Kansas' Ben McLemore or Indiana's Victor Oladipo to be available when their No. 5 pick comes up at about 5 p.m. tonight. If they are not there, the pick might be Maryland center Alex Len.

I hope Coro is right.

I've been reading here for quite some time now but never registered, but the draft is killing me so I had to :p Wanted to let u guys know that 2 1/2 weeks ago I spoke with someone working at the Suns and he said the exact same as Coro just posted. We also like Zeller a lot but not with the #5.

Revived · Post #1216 » by **Revived** » Thu Jun 27, 2013 10:39 pm

Its funny only one team in the top 5 has not been in trade discussions and is just sitting quietly and watching all this...the Wizards.

I think OKC is saying they want Len when they really may want Dipo. When you are a 60 win team, you want guys that can contribute immediately, and with Westbrook and Durant handling the scoring load, Dipo would be perfect to play with them, especially when they go small with Durant at the 4 and Ibaka at the 5.

I know some that may think Len makes sense because they could use a center, but how is he going to help a team in the playoffs? He won't. And he probably won't be ready to contribute much for a few years.

Oladipo seems redundant though since they already have Sefolosha. Maybe it's McClenore who their hoping can provide some Kevin Martin type scoring.

Or another smokescreen?

Is he doing it, or is Silver running it? I can't handle another thirty picks of Stern saying numbers incorrectly. It's not two thousand AND thirteen, you frickin moron! It's just two thousand thirteen.

I think they have the best position in draft.

I looked at the Cavs board and it is dead. I guess we have more rabid fans.
