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.


Was I right? [tweet]https://twitter.com/WojYahooNBA/status/350380533953474561[/tweet]

Or another smokescreen?

It won't happen. Orlando won't trade the pick to OKC unless OKC gives up either Ibaka, Westbrook or Durant.

Nothing else the Magic want on OKC. Lamb, PJIII and #13 isn't even close to be enough to move up 9 spots.

Hoopshype - Suns have red-flagged Noel's knee, could slip out of the top 10

Realgm - Suns trying to trade 5 and 30 to move up to 1 and select Noel

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.


Welcome. Good news to hear.

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.


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


They've had so many picks in the top five over the last three years, it's like AZers seeing the Grand Canyon for the thirtieth time. :D

I wouldn't mind either. If we take Len it means we're more likely to move Gortat for another pick I would assume.

Take Noel, McLemore or Oladipo. If they're not there at #5 or they can't trade up, trade down for CJ, Shabazz or even Zeller.

Thx! Yeah, I am glad Coro posted it was wondering if after almost 3 weeks it was still the game plan. Would actually be my preferred 3 too.
It's kinda old news, but he also said we were really trying to get the 10 for probably Zeller from Portland (maybe he even said for Gortat). But again, the info is almost 3 weeks old.

Nah I don't start drinking til Stern gets booed at the intros :lol:


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.

Can't forget Stern trolling hard :lol:

Like many have reported, the Suns are trying to trade the 5th & 30th pick for the 1st pick. If that happens, your going to see Marcin Gortat and possibly Marcus Morris for Portlands 10th pick..

1) Ben Mclemore
10) Cody Zeller

Stern doesn't care about the fans, he is laughing all the way to the bank.
