That's about what we would have to pay in free agency anyway to get a half decent big. He averaged 11 and 7 last season playing 27 minutes a game. Its something id be interested in depending on who is at 7.


make them at least take tyrus back in that deal then

4 and tyrus for 7 and thompson.

I have zero interest in the Kings until they can officially sign and trade Cousins.

Anybody else think it's strange that Cho supposedly loves Zeller? Since Cho has been here we've drafted Kemba (athletic black guy), Biz (athletic black guy), MKG (athletic black guy) and Taylor (athletic half-black guy).

I know Zeller is "athletic" but he's nowhere near the athlete of the guys we've been drafting, especially not in games.

Notice that all of those players you mentioned have incredible work ethics as well. Why I think we will draft Oladipo if available.

I would be interested in trading 4 and Ben Gordon for 6 and Eric Gordon.

It would only work with some variation of this where we can pick Bennett

Cavs - Len
Magic - Noel
Wiz - Porter
Charlotte - McLemore
Suns - Oladipo
Pelicans - Bennett

Kemba Walker
Eric Gordon
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Anthony Bennett
Bismack Biyombo

We keep the skyrocketing POR pick and rising DET pick heading into the 2014 draft.

Too bad the Kings don't have anything worth trading for.

Patterson isn't a bad player, plus hes still on rookie deal I believe, but Id wan't slightly more, or want them to take back a horrible contract. We need to smoke screen that were taking McLemore if available and make them desperate.

That's an intriguing deal.

This is beginning to become the most overrated predraft trait. What guard doesn't have a great work ethic? Unless your lebron and you were made to become a basketball player. U need to have atleast an above average work ethic in order to separate your talent from the rest of the pack at the college and nba level.

they owe a protected pick to the cavs, so i dont think they can trade a future pick until that one is sent to cavs.



Ah man, I was gonna suggest something like #4 and Detroit pick for #7 and their pick next year. Oh well.

Put me down for Mack or Len. I'm fine with either.
Humble yourself.

Never heard of khalid. Sherron Collins was undrafted so the talent wasn't there & Terrance williams is a nut case. I'm just saying it's overrated. For example craptor fans say demar derozan has a great work ethic and he hasn't amounted to ****. Matt Carroll also has a great one and we all saw how good his time spent in the gym translated to the league

Jonathan Givony ‏@DraftExpress 8m

If Oladipo is gone, Phoenix may look to move down a bit in hopes of picking up another asset and still getting their #2 target, Cody Zeller

Oladipo = Tim Tebow

McLemore = Cam Newton

From a talent standpoint

I suspect you will get your wish because either one will be available:

This order leaves Len:

Cavs - Noel
Magic - McLemore
Wiz - Bennett/Porter

or

Cavs - McLemore
Magic - Noel
Wiz - Bennett/Porter

This order leaves McLemore

Cavs - Len
Magic - Noel
Wiz - Bennett/Porter

We will know if Len or McLemore will be available as soon as Cleveland drafts.

If they take Len then McLemore will be there (Noel goes to the Magic). If the Cavs take Noel, Len will be there because the Magic and Wiz don't want him most likely.

Victor Oladipo will be the Orlando Magic's choice if they keep the No.2 pick, according to Yahoo! Sports
