Official Draft Thread 3: Picks #4 and #12

I love the Magic but I am not losing sleep over something I can't control. I am just enjoying the ride.

Q: You’ve got three teams ahead of you in the draft order. How difficult is it to determine which way they’re going to go? Last year, Cleveland shocked everybody.
RH: It’s very, very difficult to discern because everybody lies to each other at this time of year. So your guess will be as good as mine.

The smoke is so thick right now.

Sixers and Magic have to work together to vanquish the Cavs and put an end to their reign of terror. Hinkie and Hennigan, Hennigan and Hinkie.

now that would be an awesome gamble/move by Henny. Get the player you want but grab another asset?

Maybe he takes Parker and then tells Milwaukee to draft Exum and he will trade Parker for Exum + Henson? Not the biggest Henson fan that i would trade a big asset for him, but this would definitely intrigue me.

Larry Sanders.

Im rooting for Philly to make a deal now for number 1

Orlando Tragic · Post #1011 » by **Orlando Tragic** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 2:49 pm

Latest Draft Express mock (from this morning) still has us with Exum:
1. Wiggins
2. Parker
3. Embiid
4. Exum

By the way, Ford did say the deal isnt close. To me, Woj is just reiterating what Ford said but added BS to it. This deal isnt close until the 4 pick.

Whether we make a deal or Philly makes a deal, we are in a good spot. If Philly moves up, then Cleveland goes to 3 and takes Embiid, and we still get Exum. Or we go to 1 and get Parker.

The saddest scenario would be if nothing happens and we end up with Vonleh.

I'm expecting this as well. Embiid stays top 3.

BTW,

In terms of trading the actual picks....there is a 2 PM (I believe this is the exact time...it could be 3 PM) deadline. After that, you can't trade the picks...but you could trade the right to the player at draft time. So if nothing happens by that time this afternoon, then we have to buckle in and wait until draft time for any fireworks.

Malik Starks · Post #1016 » by **Malik Starks** » Thu Jun 26, 2014 2:56 pm

Really I'm not that worried, if it is Exum we want we'll end up with him at the end of the night.

None of the top three have him as their must have guy like we do, and the Magic have enough assets to make some type of deal happen if necessary.

Larry Sanders.

I like the skills Sanders brings, but i dont trust him. Fights, drugs, etc. i dont think i could touch that contract of his.

Would not be surprised if Oladipo and #4 are the deal. Also wouldn't be surprised if it was Afflalo and the #4. I'd like to think we aren't offering the 12 and they want it but probably we are and they want another pick or player on top of that. Wouldn't surprise me. What did Penny get? 3 firsts?
