The 2012 NBA Draft: 6th & 11th picks, and some random 2nds.

[GreenRiddler]

Chad Ford: Damian Lillard really helped himself last 2 days. Shot ball well. Competed. Just measured with a 36" inch standing and 40" full vertical.

Wow Lillard is more athletic than I thought. Westbrook only had a 30 and full 36.5 Rose 34.5 full 40...Impressive.

yes, do you perhaps owe me an apology?

Yes I do I am sorry *tail between his legs*

[GreenRiddler]

When do we get their drill stats in the 3/4 sprint?

[GreenRiddler]

I wonder which of these teams is more likely to swap our 11 pick with theirs + filler and or Matthews

GSW#7
Tor#8
Det#9
NO#10

I say we go for Toronto.

LOL, that works, looking forward to the sprint stuff, thx for the info on Westy and Rose comparisons!

Interesting that the Blazers have a workout scheduled with MKG.

There's no reason to give up Matthews to move up three spots. That's a serious overpay.

If the Blazers plan on trying to make a separate move to get MKG, moving Matthews makes sense so that Batum and MKG can start together.

Yea I guess but Matthews is only a backup SG and below avg SG.

[DusterBuster]

When it comes to gut feelings, I get a gut feeling that Olshey isn't so high on Matthews that he wouldn't consider trading him to move up a couple spots. For as much love as he was throwing around for the players and coaches during his press conference, Olshey never once mentioned Matthews that I can remember.

That is odd I hope we don't trade the second pick to move up the first.

I hope so too I am not that high on him going forward,with the SG talent in the draft and EW.

[fishnc]

That's fine, but use him to acquire a mid to late first rounder, not to move up a couple of positions in the late lottery.

Most teams and players are probably thinking that the players picked 2-6 will come from a pretty limited pool, but could go in any order depending on team needs because the talent is so closely bunched. It isn't inconceivable that MKG would drop to 6. I don't think he will--I think Cleveland is the perfect fit for him--but we're only talking a couple spots here.

[The Sebastian Express]

I like Wesley, and he has a good contract (I think his was top heavy so gets less as the years go by). He's a good sixth man, not a super-sub, but a hard worker, good defender, and good, tough lockerroom guy. I'm not sure if I'd trade him for a mid first rounder - if we could use him to move from 11 to 2 (lololololol let me dream) I'd do it in a heart beat.

Basically I think he should be used to be part of a package for a legitimate star.

How when Was Cha Sac and Cle could all use a swing-man like him?

how bout #11 to 7 or 8 if you had a chance to get Lillard and Drummond?

what's the trade?

[Wickzki]

Interesting that the Blazers have a workout scheduled with MKG.

Hence why I suggested the Warriors trade who would pick him at our pick. They're very keen for him and almost expect him to be there. The NBA Draft in parts is fast becoming which player is represented by whom. With Harrison Barnes and Kyrie Irving sharing the same player agent it is highly likely that the agent will talk the Cavs into taking Barnes - they could also use a small forward (the Cavs).

The Kings have a ton of money invested in the swing positions - Salmons, Thornton, Garcia, Evans and Fredette all see playing time at those positions (some at the point two for the latter two) - so would expect them to be taking Drummond with the Wiz taking Beal at #3.

However, I am certainly glad to hear that we're interested enough to have MKG in for a workout.

ewill if we can't find a vet

and we have a chitload of capspace don't forget!
