Celtics fan here:

Last minute trade offer:

BOS-CHA-MIN

BOS gets: Love, Henderson

CHA gets: Green, Martin, #13 pick, #17 pick, PHI pick, MIA 2nd ('16)

MIN gets: Sullinger, MKG, Bogans, Anthony, Haywood or Neal, #6, #9

Boston takes Henderson, you guys dump him and take a better shooter in Martin. You get a lottery pick this year and mid first, plus a potential first from Sixers. Green as a SF scorer. For your #9 pick and MKG.

Minnesota, gets a young players, expirings and picks, couldn't possibly get a better package than that.

Charlotte solidifies as a playoff team by adding vets.

Eh, not a bad offer, but I would pass.

I like it.

...and who the hell is he going to defend? He was one of the worst defenders on Duke. Made Jabari Parker look like Luol Deng

There isn't a 2 way player at 9...everyone we've been projected to pick has defensive flaws...were a top 5 defense I'm not too worried

No, just went through a highly contested 7-game series against the Clippers in which they loss because they couldn't keep Reggie Evans & Kenyon Martin off the offensive glass

As aforementioned, Gary Harris. Harris might be the only 2-way player in the entire draft, and I'd hate him for the Hornets. I'd much rather take the reach for Rodney Hood which would still be miserable as he throw up his lunch before every big game --- and halftime too

Believe it or not but our biggest need is at PF. We have not resigned McRoberts yet and even if we do we are just as thin backup wise as in our other positions.

Harris is a 2-way player in Israel.

UNCNYC · Post #51 » by **UNCNYC** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 5:18 pm

We should offer the Knicks 24 plus Henderson for Hardaway and a future 2nd rounder

As long as we retain CDR to play backup SG behind Henderson or sign Lance Stephenson, I agree

McRoberts isn't a surefire starter, just fringe, and his backup should've been in the D-League last season

I thank GOD for you guys. It has been a pleasure man. You guys are so passionate about our HORNETS. I wish we wre all GM'S working together for our picks.

I wonder if Phil Jackson view Henderson as a homeless man's Jordan and poor man's Kobe that would work well in the 'Triangle Offense'. If so, that package might be possible

Our biggest needs in this draft are

1. POWER FORWARD - High chance Mcroberts doesnt resign. He is a FREE AGENT which means he does NOT belong to us. He should be a wanted man by some really good teams and on the cheap

2. SHOOTING GUARD - I think we should trade to aquire HARDAWAY JR or draft HAIRSTON if he is there.

3. POINT GUARD - We are only 1 PG deep there in Kemba. Need to address this.

LATEST and more than likely FINAL depth chart. I would take these players in the ORDER they are listed here and would fall to us.

9th pick

1. Gordon
2. Payne
3. Randle
4. Mcbuckets
5. Stauskas

24th pick

1. Hairston
2. Payton
3. Hood
4. Harris
5. Young
6. Napier
7. Ennis
8. Stokes
9. Bogdanovic
10. GR3

45th pick

1. David MICHINEAU - I think this could could be a good backup pg
2. Alex Kirk
3. Jabari Brown
4. Xavier Thames
5. Vasillje Micic

CANDIDATES FOR 9TH PICK WHO DIDNT MAKE THE CUT

Embied
Lavine

CANDIDATES FOR 24TH PICK WHO DIDNT MAKE THE CUT

J Clarkson
Warren
Cla. Early
Kyle Anderson

CANDIDATES FOR 45TH PICK WHO DIDNT MAKE THE CUT

deandre kane ( neutral )
Roy Devyn Marble ( neutral )
K.J. McDaniels ( stock rising )
JORDAN ADAMS ( neutral )
CJ Fair ( stock rising )
