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

Oh God please! Clippers can't help Knicks now with Melo + Lebron on the prowl.

I would literally jump off my house in excitement if we manage to trade Gerald for #28

:o

Surely we'll get more value out of Hendo than just a late round pick...right? Dudley + Hollins + 26 for Hendo would be nice.

HOLY SHIZNIT GUYS IT'S A DREAM COME TRUE

It would be hilarious if that happened. Orlando could've made our trade and then swung Henderson for a 2nd first rounder :lol:

I've been mostly hoping for Stauskas at 9 to make it a good night, but man. Coming out of this with McDermott and Young would be a fine draft indeed both from a team needs and a value standpoint.

Then we send off Gerald to the Clips for #28 and take whatever PG falls. Snatch a big at 45. That's a lot of rookies, but think how much fun we'll have with summer league.

**** 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!

Random things I'm looking forward to seeing tonight:

(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?

What a disastrous trade that would be for Philly.
