Attached to who though? :nod:


PJ Hairston more than likely.

Edit: Misread. Thats who I think we would pick if we moved up though.

Gerald is athletic and plays on the wing!


I'm assuming they will need to add in a player to make that deal work right?

Probably, we can just take one of their non-athletic wing shooters like Dudley


I am all for this if we can package 24 and 28 for a better asset.

Hairston would be there at 24. I'd move up for Saric, Payton, Young, Lavine, Stauskas or Harris (if it was the 2nd 1st rounder that'd be ok)

Well damn.

@DanWoikeSports
Gerald Henderson, Iman Shumpert are among the names the Clippers have discussed.

(1) The order of the non-elite wings - Stauskas, Harris, Young, LaVine, Hood, Warren, Hairston, McDaniels, Adams, Robinson. Will be interesting to see where they all go and the value placed on them.

(2) Napier vs. Anderson - who goes higher?

(3) Does McGary go first round?

(4) Does someone sip the Stokes kool aid and take him early?


1) Very interested in this as well.

2) My guess is Napier

3) Yes

4) I think he goes after #25

Lets hope so. Hopefully they realized they could replace Gerald with CDR and be just as good.

**** Wiggins! Do it for Parker. However, I think the Sixers should stay idle at #3 and call Milwaukee's bluff. I think (and hope) the Bucks will take Exum. If the Bucks do take Parker though, I'll have to shift my optimism to Exum becoming Penny Hardaway 2.0. I loved me some Penny Hardaway back in the day!


What a disastrous trade that would be for Philly.


It would only be disastrous if it's not a smokescreen and we really are that vested in Wiggins :nonono:

For Parker? I'd trade the whole damn team, and every pick. We're tanking another year anyway before trying to become substantial. Otherwise, we'll lose our pick(s)

Chances are someone is going to fall to us at #9. It seemingly happens every year.

Who do you guys think falls?

My pick to fall is Randal.

I think Gordon or Smart fall. I don't see Randle making it past the Lakers. Randle to the Lakers could be the steal of the draft that a fortunate franchise like them always receive. I think Calipari held Randle's game back at Kentucky by not allowing him to shoot jump shots, brainwashing him to attack the rim at all cost. The NBA game will open up for Randle, and his brute strength will prove not to be just among collegiate athletes but men too

I think Smart goes to Utah at 5. Not sure if anyone other than maybe Gordon falls, and Im not that high on him

It's a smokescreen to make Cleveland think we're heavily invested in Andrew Wiggins so that they may take him, knowing that Hinkie is much more advanced than their new GM. I think the Cavaliers just called our bluff though :lol:

Here's how I think it goes.

Gordon falls if he doesn't get picked by the Jazz or CIeltics.

Smart falls if he doesn't go to the Magic, Jazz or Lakers.

Randall falls if he doesn't go to the Celtics or Lakers.

Where ever Embiid is picked will play a big role.

I'm so freaking excited. I love this night, one of my favorites every year.

Edit: I'm wearing my Hornets gear. I hope everyone that has the new digs or Bobcats gear are representing with theirs tonight. Go Charlotte Hornets!

Return to Charlotte Hornets
