draft lottery

[joel caine number 1 fan]

the standings happen on wednesday just before the NBA Conference Finals cant wait
hopefully Minnesota can get that number 1 pick Jawai?-Jefferson-Brewer-Foye-Rose would be a sick line up esp with mccants of the bench

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Well my team doesn't have a first round pick this year, but there doesn't appear to be that many top players (smells a bit like the draft two years ago).

 

[Ridders]

lol Jawai at number 1. if minnesota want to waste their high pick on him, good luck to them. Its either gonna be Beasley or Rose at No1, depending on the needs of the team with the no.1 pick

 

[Ridders]

theres some pretty decent talent in this years draft. From the top of my head the likes of beasley, rose, kevin love, OJ Mayo, eric godon have the potential to make it a very good draft

i didnt say that if u look closley i have him at centre and rose at pg he was the one at number 1
like this jawai?(as in maybe 2nd rounder since we have 2 )/Jefferson/Brewer/Foye/Rose

na its wednesday 10am i think

Mini will get Rose or Beasley surely. Not that they need either of them. these got a team full of combo guards.

I'd like to see OJ Mayo go to Miami, he might be what they need. Get rid of J-Will...

Mayo, Wade, Davis, Marion, Blount... could make playoffs in the east!! haha

 

[Panthers_God]

If Jawai gets drafted it will be late first round/early second.

He will probably get picked by a strong team and end up on the end of a long bench.

More suprised to see if Nikola Pecovich will come up for draft. Hope Utah can snap him up!!

Few nice european prospects this year in Gallinari and Batum

wonder where deandre jordan will end up

wonder where deandre jordan will end up

around where Bynum ended up it all depends on the team, its a big risk to take he may end up being a dud he may end up like bynum its too hard to tell right now

btw there rumors of minnesota trading there pick if they get no 2 and rose is gone apparently we arent happy with beasley attitude problems

 

[Tiger Hawk]

Bynum's about to have knee surgery and it's no surprise he started playing with a bit of fire around the time he's due a contract extension.

What would you accept in the trade for that pick?

dunno these are thing minnesota will be looking at
*taking Jaric contract
*young talent plus lottery pick
theres been a lot of talk Noah/9th for 2nd/Jaric i think more would have to be thrown in

 

[Special K]

if that was the deal you would want to throw in walker and any other deal that is sizeable or has years left. Walker expires next season so he may be seen as a positive value which could get more. Your probably only looking at someone like Ben Gordon in a S&T but. Maybe you could swing it to get Deng in a S&T

When is the actual draft? Hopefully jawai gets picked in the 1st round and goes over..

the only problem i see with that is we already have rashaad mccants and i think there the same type of player
if Mccants can keep hes fouls down he might even be a better player ,Duhon though i wouldnt mind since we have given up on foye ever becoming a pg

Lottery is 21st may
draft is 27 june

hes down to 270 now plus hes got a reach of 7"5 which is huge even for nba standards , i think hes a sure thing for first round if not he will def be picked up by minnesota 1st pick of the 2nd round

 

[Special K]

the bulls?

FFS

I hope they are active now in the market place.

 

[aqua_duck]

Its good that we get pick 1 but we really need to do something with it, IMO we're still a superstar short of really challenging and if we're to pick either rose or Beasley (which would be logical), it would be logical to trade Deng or Hinrich, and maybe get another 1st rounder or an experienced but improving big man

 

[Special K]

The bulls problem is they have to many role players and not enough stars and the potential stars they had took MASSIVE value drops last season. I think they have to lose a few trades to sought their roster out. They won't get value for hinrich, deng etc and it will be hard to move players out of their log jam. Plus their gm is a wuss

trade ben gordon for tj ford and draft beasley? then move gooden or thomas or noah? pick rose and try and move hughes? and try and fit rose, hinrich and gordon into the same back court?

The bulls don't need the #1.. Should of gone to the grizz, wolves or sonics!

ffs.
