i'd rather have this 2015 pick than 2014 pick. Vonleh's nice, but he'd be a late round pick in this draft. Batum's also a UFA after this season. So the trade is pretty bad

Yeah Hornets are desperate man. I'm guessing they will be taking Booker tomorrow now.

Charlotte must have found out pretty quickly that they weren't getting a quality wing for Zeller but I'm still surprised they moved Vonleh. He's a really nice power forward prospect. A wing combination of Batum and Kidd-Gilchrist is interesting but doesn't really solve their offensive woes and the future of their frontcourt is suspect at best. That seems like a bad move.

Taking a flyer on Lamb by just giving up Barnes is solid though.

They just got Lamb by only giving up Matt Barnes, WTF

Charlotte reportedly really like Kaminsky at #9, if Phil Jackson wants to trade back and draft him he'd need to stay in front of us (or trade with us, but that ain't happening) - so that could be a benefit to us if Frank the Tank goes before we pick.

Barnes is apparently not going to OKC

#7+Nurkik for #4 has been proposed. i think thats a great deal

Having Batum run their offense instead of Kemba is a major offensive improvement lol. I really like MKG/Batum for them, I think they have to go with a big that can score, if not Kaminsky I'm thinking Portis.

They do need to add some 3pt shooting so Kaminsky probably does make the most sense seeing as he's a 3pt shooting big and should be able to contribute immediately seeing as they are growing a bit impatient over there it seems

I would trade half our team, and the #8 to put cousins next to drummond. That would be absolutely insane.

Hell, throw in next year's pick as well.

coordinator0 · Post #512 » by **coordinator0** » Thu Jun 25, 2015 3:56 am

Yeah, this is going to be fun. If they do complete a deal tomorrow it probably wouldn't make a big impact on the draft. Seems like Sacramento taking Okafor to replace Cousins would be the simple thing to do. Cauley-Stein would be a good fit next to him at the 6th pick too.

yea bro can i make my draft predictions after this trade? lmao

Prob means gay is gone which means they probably take a wing

Nah, even if Sacramento trades Cousins I would imagine their directive is still to win now so I doubt they would get rid of Gay too. Ranadive is crazy though so who knows.

Jeremy Lamb just got traded for CAP SPACE

LMFAO, threads have been locked in the trade forums because of how highly the mods and OKC fans value this bum

Absolutely hilarious how bad that Harden deal keeps looking as the years pass

I would be flabbergasted if Cousins was traded.

Aldridge wants to go Lakers too now...

really? there's already a rift between cousins and karl. boogie has already called him a snake in the grass...i'd honestly be shocked if cousins wasn't traded before the season, and i'm hoping it happens tonight because i want a hectic draft night lol
