2012 Draft, Part VI (Draft Week is Here!)

[hands11]

I wouldn't be upset at all with them taking Robinson.

Me too. I'm sure Robinson is versitile enough to play SG.

He is ? Sweet. All the better then. I hadn't seen that video yet.

Obviously they would have other moves they need to make. They are not going to be completely built after this draft.

DA on Twitter:

Cleveland and Charlotte going down to the wire for #2. "Deep discussions," per league source. Money, as ever, the issue.

I doubt he's talking about the obligatory $3M toss-in. I'm guessing CLE is balking at swallowing Ty Thomas' contract.

****. Ford has us taking Barnes if the Beal Deal gets done.

[hands11]

Robinson would be incredibly redundant for this team - but at least he can shoot. Perhaps he develops into a stretch 4.

Think like it will be. Okafor is not likely going to be here past this year if he even makes it that far.

You get Robinson then at the trade deadline you move Okafor. Robinson would be for the future.
And he is someone you could even take later if you wanted.

But I want Beal.

Unless Cleveland comes up with a deal Charlotte likes, the Wizards will take Bradley Beal at No. 2. If not, Harrison Barnes will be pick.

I can't tell if Wise is reporting or opining.

I might turn the draft off if we take Barnes. It's ridiculous, congrats to those who said Barnes was a typical Ernie pick, cuz it looks like it will happen.

[Jimmy Recard]

So charlotte will draft Beal and trade him for Robinson at 4. Oh well, so much for Beal. You better take MKG Ernie.

chadfordinsider Can't change mock until deal is done: But if Cavs-Bobcats swap 4 & 24 it would look like this ...

chadfordinsider Mock 10.2 (alternate) 1. Davis 2. Beal (to Cavs) 3. Barnes 4. T Robinson 5. Drummond 6. Lillard 7. MKG 8. Waiters 9. Henson 10. Rivers

Please no Barnes.
Please no Barnes.
Please no Barnes.
Please no Barnes.

Think happy thoughts.

Hey Andy Katz: it's pronounced "bulging *disks*."

[Jimmy Recard]

Omg I will lose my sh*t if we draft Barnes

F U Ernie

[keynote]

Three years ago, if you had told me that the Wizards were gonna land Barnes, I'd have danced a jig.

I always liked the Calbert Cheney pick. Will be just ducky revisiting it...

[ptown]

I'm hoping for MKG, would be happy with Beal, no to Barnes

[KevinFCheng]

I'd rather take Robinson or Drummond than Barnes. Yeah, it's that bad.

Just take Beal or MKG if Beal is taken, it's not hard. Please.

[Benjammin]

Ford saying MKG going 7 now?? Please no Barnes, seriously.

[MJG]

If we take Barnes at 3, and MKG slid to 7, I think I'd need to take a break from the NBA for a day or two.

[cleek+wall]

o well....barnes will be a nice player

[Doc Holliday]

Ernie has a one track mind...if Beal is gone, watch Ernie "f-up" and panic and take am unknown Euro. Talk about your worse nightmare.

I need a drink.
