Official 2013 Draft Thread - Part VIII

[Spence]

I want the Mavericks pick.

[truwizfan4evr]

Lets trade for Thomas Robinson now.

[Dark Faze]

so many trade opportunities man...we need bench talent now...cant believe we aren't making a move for the #13 or T-Rob.

[dorianwrite]

In order to take...?

[Ruzious]

Yeah. It was just stated on ESPN. WOJ made a mistake.

I can't blame Woj. The Pelicans made a far bigger mistake... even worse than choosing to be called the Pelicans.

Looks like top 5 protection.

I still can't believe NO gave up a pick.

It should have been top 30 protected. I don't like MCW much, but Philly's had a good night.

Lets trade for Thomas Robinson now.

Stockpile local talent?

[mhd]

Celtic trade for 13th to take Olynyk.

[Spence]

In order to take...?

I want an overhyped European who will fail miserably and slink back across the Atlantic within four years.

[Spence]

Celtic trade for 13th to take Olynyk.

I like Olynyk at 13. Very nice offensive game. Not much of a defender or rebounder, but what do you expect at 13?

[Ruzious]

This board is f*cking insufferable.

Pissed off because not enough people agreed with who you wanted to draft or are you pissed off because other people are whining because they didn't get the player they wanted?

Eh, he just gets that way when people express strong opinions. We know we're brilliant even if he doesn't.

[Spence]

Olynyk is who I had going at 13, with the Mavs moving him. I'd love him in Washington, but he'll go to Boston.

[Dark Faze]

I hate EG

We could have gotten Kelly Olynyk

SMH man

[mhd]

Huh, Dallas traded 2 2nd rounders+13 for what???

[truwizfan4evr]

Lets trade for Thomas Robinson now.

Stockpile local talent?

Yes!

[WizBiz]

Wow, the Celtics got all those picks for nothing?
edit: Nevermind, it looks like they sent the 16 to Dallas.

Maybe so, but I like Fishercob. Decent fellow.

There are some people who seem a bit more exercised than is justified. All those teams passing on Noel would make me think twice. Maybe those teams are wrong, but it's not like the Wiz are the only team who passed on Noel. Phoenix taking Len is a major red flag on Noel.

[Spence]

Cap space. Want Dwight Howard.

[The Consiglieri]

This draft is a mess. It's like every lottery team but the Wizards and possibly the Cavs are trying to make the playoffs next season.

If anything, I would say the Porter pick shows that the Wizards are trying to make the playoffs next year. Noel won't be able to contribute much next season.

If everyone stays healthy and the Wiz resign Webster, then I think the Wiz would have made the playoffs regardless. Boston, Philly, Bobcats, Magic, and Hawks (if they don't sign anyone) will all be worse.

Wizards played at a 45 win clip last year when only "mostly" healthy. They were headed to the playoffs even if they had zero draft picks, and simply resigned Webster and stayed healthy.

Cap space. Want Dwight Howard.

Boston doesn't have any space to absorb Marion.

[Ruzious]

So Utah's picking for Minny now and at 21. Just skip Kosarev, so the Bucks can pick him at 15.
