I guess that leaves Cousins, Favors, or Johnson as possibilities

I can't say im surprised but god if we don't score 3,2,1 we will be losers for awhile. I'm so sick of the lottery system. If teams want to tank to get a better pick, then just let teams do it.

Favors is the pick if we stay there, in my opinion (and he might very well be BPA anyway).

I have a feeling NJ might prefer Favors to Cousins.

You would think they have Yi starting

can we trade up with Philadelphia to get the 2nd pick?

New Jersey could go Cousins or Favors. Like stated over on the draft thread, Brook plays more like a PF so Cousins makes sense... but knowing our luck, they will take Favors (which also makes sense with Brook with his athleticism).

Fortunately, a few teams like Cousins.

I think Favors is a much better fit than Cousins in NJ. However, does Turner really fit with Iggy in Philadelphia? Would they move down to 4 and take Cousins? What would be the cost?

I can't see wash or philly letting go of their picks. But Kahn might have something up his sleeve.

I know this could bite us hard but I would be willing to deal them Foye AND Miller.

If I was PHI I'd trade Iggy before Turner.

I still think there is a chance Turner falls if Philly or NJ fall in love with the bigs.

Yeah, that's my worst fear.

Although if we're left with Cousins, trading Al is a virtual certainty.

I was over on their board and they think Thad young will be easier to deal and net a higher return. Similar to our Al Jefferson / Love problem.

New Jersey's board is still in shock.

How about Dalembert + Turner + for Cousins + Ellington?

......Trade down?

Well, lets be positives, Johnson is a good option and nobody can guarantee that Evans will be better than him.

This is one of the best worst outcomes we could ask for

We have the best pick of any Western Conference team
Iguodala is more likely to be traded
LBJ could consider NJ (rather have him go there than NY)
Detroit didn't move up, so they are still a good trading partner
