Trading the #2 pick - dicussion (merged)

Vanderbilt_Grad · Post #941 » by **Vanderbilt_Grad** » Thu Jun 28, 2012 5:30 pm

Honestly I'm not expecting the team to make a trade at this point.

While there was a lot of hype about Cleveland it seems like what Cho was really trying to do was see if he could get out from under the TThomas contract and still get a pick. Given that the answer was a resounding "no" I expect no trades.

4 and 24 and 33 is still more valuable than just #2 for the bobcats I think. The reason being we get more gambles and we haven't been too linked to beal, whereas other players we do seem to want will be there at 4

I would love to take Beal and flip Hendo for one of those Rockets picks.

Hendo for 16 and snap up Mo Harkless?

Kemba
Beal (shooter)
Harkless (slasher)
Mully (spacer)
Bismack (at the rim)

covers all the bases

I like your thinking but they have a bit of a jam at the SG spot though with Martin and Lee?

I actually really like Derrick Williams. I think he has 20+ ppoints per game andexcellent rebounding in him from the PF position. His problem last year was he had to play behind Kevin Love so he did not play consistently at all. I would do a deal of Williams, Malcom Lee, and a future 1st for our #2 pick.

Lee is unimpressive and they've been looking to move Martin

If Houston does a Howard trade, Martin is likely gone. I think he's gone either way. Would have been a target for us had we not done the Gordon deal.

That's why we do 4 and 24, then combine 24 and 31 to get royce white.

With all the love that Royce White is getting, you know he can't fly right... NBA teams fly ALOT...

This was cleared up a few weeks ago. The whole story was kind of overblown.

Irrelevant to his playing ability. Teams make mistakes by passing over players for these silly mental reasons. If it doesn't affect his playing ability, it's not an issue. There's no evidence to suggest that his anxiety issues impacts his on-court performance.

I don't think this could be any less impactful on my opinion of him, his value, or where I'd draft him and who I'd draft him before.

umm... you can like him as a player, but he had his Dad drive him to every away game at Iowa state. Not sure if he can do that from Charlotte to LA, Golden State, Portland and Seattle. If he can't get over that flying thing, then he is useless on road games. Just too much to count on him IMHO.

If this were truly the case he wouldn't even bother going pro. Think about it critically, and decide whether you really think that can't be fixed. He'll have cash for therapy in the worst case scenario.

FWIW Ric Bucher says he thinks top 5 will stand pat and the Cats will choose between MKG & T Rob.

Trade pick for players, trade for picks or keep it?
