They play basketball with shoes so that's the size that matters.

A team like OKC, Memphis, Minnesota or LAC should trade for Prince.

He needs to go to a contender.

I think he could do great on the Warriors.

Curry/Thompson/Prince/Lee/Bogut

I didn't realize that. He went to my high school in New Orleans. Obviously I'm way older than him, but yeah....

I think he's someone we should look at. I'd much prefer him to Jonny Flynn or even Bassy. He's an RFA though.

Looks like they aren't going with Beal. Robinson looks pretty good there. Maybe Barnes.

Thats such a small backcourt! Kemba is 6"1 and Gordon is 6"2.

Walker/Gordon/Henderson/Robinson/Biyombo

Now Detroit has zero SG's (unless you count former PG Stuckey). Their lineup is a mess.

Knight/Bynum
Stuckey
Maggette/Prince/Daye
Jerebko/Villanueva
Monroe/

Well they will use one as more of a 6th man, because Augustin is a pretty good passing pg. But he isn't very tall either. edit....just saw in next post he was free agent.

True, Augustin is pretty solid. He's definitely a better distributor than those guys. I wouldn't mind that. I think Felton would be ok too if he is in shape (he did well running system in NY 17/8) if we lose Nash and don't get Dragic.

Hopefully, and I thin they will, Detroit sticks with going big. However, it does give them options to go more BPA if someone like Waiters slips to them. Gives them options. Its a good move to. Clears cap space next year. Dumars is turning the ship around. Just shows you how long this rebuild can last, especially after an off-season where you spend money foolishly...

Does anyone else see how this trade is bad for the suns? All of the sg we want could be gone. If gsw takes waiters tor takes rivers det takes Ross or lamb and por take Ross or lamb. We will have to pick Marshall, PJ3 or Moultrie. This draft is starting to look dreadful

Yes, but they probably still stick with a big. They had like six bigs in the other day to work out. They have plenty of guards right now. Ford tweeted right after the trade that they were likely still going big.

I'm just hoping we take Ross or Lamb over Marshall at this point if one of them is there...I'm not so sure any more. And would love it if Waiters dropped too.

Detroit will draft a big man. I'm 90% sure.

Though now after seeing this article, where they just brought in Ross and Lamb, I am worried the Bucks will draft a guard, which makes little sense...

Bucks want a C, but might settle on a SG. They really like Leonard/Zeller/Henson (in that order), but i have a feeling Portland will be drafting Lillard with the #6 and Leonard with the #11. Detroit is enamored with Henson, so he will be gone. Zeller is a toss up. I hear alot of rumors that the Hornets (who are lacking big guys), like the idea of doing a Davis/Zeller combo, but they might opt to take Rivers who has a much higher ceiling.

If Zeller is availible, i think the Bucks take him. If he's not, then they look at a SG, as they currently only have 3 guards on the roster (Jennings/Ellis/Udrih). They already have quite a few SF's, and are loaded with bush league bigs (Udoh/Sanders/Brockman at C and Gooden/Ilyasova?/Leuer at PF)

Chad Ford: Terrence Ross in Cleveland for last minute workout tomorrow. He's not in mix at 4. He's not on board at 24. Interesting. He is a good fit. via Twitter

Lopez has us picking Waiters.

I saw that. Beal was selected #19 :lol:

Players really dont know s**t when it comes to the draft.

Also, i guess i was wrong with who Milwaukee wants more:

Alex Kennedy: The Milwaukee Bucks are trying to move into the top ten. Sources say they're targeting John Henson. via Twitter

They would have to get a pick higher than Detroits #9, as they pretty much have locked in on him.

I like Waiters over Beal and I think Lamb and Rivers might be better too.
