Forget Kanter guys....

chad Ford says that teams who draft Jonas may have to wait 2 years!! I am not sure where he got that from but that would definitely take the CAVS out of the running

Let me get this straight: Biyombo would rather play in Detroit than DC? :lol:

It's either 1 or 2 years - depending on who you listen to and what time of day it is. If it's probably 1 year and Jonas is there at 6, the Wiz should take him and pass on trading up for Kanter - maybe even trade up to 5 to make sure Toronto doesn't take him. With the potential lockout, it might be best for everyone that he does play next season in Europe. If the Wiz stay at 6 and neither Kanter or Jonas are there, Marcus Morris should be the pick. I think he's the BPA - outside of PGs - by a very large margin there.

Understandable, why would B*tchsmack want to come here when we have JaVale, Seraphin & Hamady, he wants to go to a team where he will get minutes.

But a person with knowledge of the Wizards’ thinking denied that the team has been in talks with Utah.I asked a rival Western Conference executive about the possibility of Utah dealing the third pick and he pointed out that the Jazz would probably have difficulty getting one of the players it has targeted at sixth. Point guard Brandon Knight probably wouldn’t slip past Toronto in that scenario.

Utah could be targeting Jimmer at 6.

Praying to the basketball lords that Kanter falls to us. Honestly no other player intrigues me at all at 6...

I hope EG takes your advice, Ruzious, because this seems like the most sensible idea I've read.

if we get Kanter, we might make the playoffs next year and kiss goodbye to a strong lottery

Oh, lame! I didn't even get to see what the title was!

This thought just occurred to me...

What if Cleveland really isn't targeting Valanciunas? It would seem that he would be the best longterm pick for them, but this is the same team that settled on Jamison instead of Stoudamire because they wanted to keep JJ Hickson. And I don't see Dan Gilbert as the type to wait a year or two for a guy to come over.

I can absolutely see them taking Kanter, meaning I hope we have a deal in place with Utah. If so, I can then see the Cavs going for Leonard over JV just becasue he'll be available to play immediately.

I hate that nate used a Roman numeral in thread title. V for Vesely??? Killin me, dude.

Post #33 » by **LyricalRico** » Wed Jun 22, 2011 1:39 pm

And as for the Spurs, could they be targeting JV? They could make another run with Duncan (one year left on his deal) and then bring JV over the form a young twin towers with Splitter.

Here's a shocker - maybe the Cavs take Derrick Williams at #1 and then use their TPE to trade the 4 to San Antonio for parker!

+1 This^ is preferable to taking Vesely. Assuming Kanter is gone, take Jonas @6 if he is there or take Morris if Jonas is snatched, we still have picks 18 & 34 if we have to wait on Jonas.

I bet the Spurs are targeting one of the Euro-bigs, but which one? Donatas, Vucevic or Jonas? They could take any one of them at 7. For a draft that supposedly sucks, there appears to be a lot more jockeying for picks that normal.

Enes and his agent just spoke to CNN Turk here in Turkey. Enes was asked about his preference for a particular team to draft him and Wizards were mentioned in the question. He said his agent would talk about the Wizards. Then his agent said that the owner and front office of Wizards are in love with Enes and trying to move up especially for the past two days to draft Enes because they think he won't last to the 6th. He said that the Wizards want to rebuild the team around Wall, Crawford, and Enes.

I don't think they have to get into the lottery for Donatas or Vucevic (who I don't really even consider to be a Euro since he played at USC). I would expect both of them to be available in the 15-20 range. If they give up Parker for one of them, I think they'd be overpaying.

What if it's Vesely?!?! We'd all have to owe WizNaz and hands an apology.

Oh yeah! Say goodbye to "dumb-and-dumber"! If we can deal 6+34 (and maybe some other filler) to move up to 4 and then also deal McGee+18 for the 2...

Kanter
Williams
(anybody)
Crawford
Wall

Think about if we stink for another year and can plug a guy like Harrison Barnes in at SF...

Ernie FTW!
