2013 Mock Drafts

[TheKingofSting]

draftexpress new mock has us taking Len and leaving Bennett and Oladipo on the board, ugh!

[ohara]

If Cho, Clifford and Ewing think they can make Len and Biyombo work together, then I am all for Len at #4. Gotta trust Cho and the coaching staff. We finally have some people I actually trust to make the right decision and help develope our young players.

[MasterIchiro]

My gosh, Cleveland's asking price for #1 is sky high. They are really doing their best to inflate the value of it in advance of the draft. They've now offered it as the centerpiece of a package for Aldridge and now Kevin Love.

Also think it's weird Blazers and Wolves snooping around top 5 making players available last minute.

[MasterIchiro]

For Cleveland to even have the audacity to make these kind of requests (LMA and Love) they must have some sense that the Blazers and Wolves are quite eager to move up to a top spot in the draft. McLemore fits both those teams better than anyone. It's possible that McLemore has the most trade value despite the fact that his stock is "plummeting" according to Twitterheads. And Cleveland wants to leverage McLemore's trade value.

That's about the best thing that could happen.

Not if Oladipo is there in my opinion.

I think Cleveland is just that naive. You saw how they acted like they won the LeBron sweepstakes again when they won the 1st pick.

I'm not sure I believe those Cleveland rumors. Think about how careful they've been the last few years transactions-wise. They've made a few smart deals to acquire picks and young, talented players. I'm not sure whether that offer sounds like a thing the Cavs would do.

There might have been talks between Cleveland and Minny, but just acknowledge that talks like these between two teams take a whole lot of time and planning, especially when a player of Kevin Love's caliber is involved. The part about this rumor that I doubt is that it sounds unlikely that Cleveland would be in contact with Minny for some time, probably had found out what it takes them to get Love and then just would throw out a random offer to them that clearly isn't enough.

Hooray! A Latvian, Janis Timma, has broke in NBADraft.net's top 60. Doc.End will probably understand my joy for something so seemingly unimportant, him being from a European country that also has players reach the NBA once in a few years.

I sure do. Congratulations!

If we take Oladipo Simmons may actually write something good about us for once.

[BlackOutBuzz]

He was actually pretty positive about the MKG pick. Read his draft diary, he was certain we'd blow it on Barnes or Robinson I believe.

EDIT: But labeling Skillet as nu-metal is pretty lazy.
