The Official 2012 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[the white hiphop thief]

I think Drummond fits pretty well In Portland with the roster they have but that place might be cursed

lol @ some of these picks.....i dont see lamb going over beal, why would the raps take Lillard when they have Bayless?? they are the same type of player. This is gonna be an interesting draft...i don't see anyone have the type of rookie years that Blake, Kyrie, or tyreke had

Here is some stuff from Chad Fords chat...

Some stuff about the Rapters

"..I agree that the Raptors are looking to move the pick. They've been trying to package it with another young player like Ed Davis and a vet (Bargnani or Calderon). I think they want a big time player on the wing so that they can lure Steve Nash this summer. The guy most people in the league believe they are after via trade is Rudy Gay. If they stay at 8, they want a player who can get to the basket. Thus ... Waiters at 8."

76ers tidbits...

"They need an athletic four and they need a shooting guard who can really stroke it. Terrence Ross, Austin Rivers, Arnett Moultrie look like the three best candidates right now ..."

Stuff on Terrence Jones...

"Warriors really like him at No. 7. They could change their minds with workouts (I think Sullinger is in the picture here as well)."

And who he thinks the Heat will draft...

"Draymond Green."

Bayless is an RFA and he might go somewhere else without a Raptors match

The Cavaliers are likely to select Harrison Barnes with the fourth overall selection if he remains available, according to sources.

"He's a pretty big deal to them," one such executive said.

Cleveland was known to be high on Barnes during the 2011 NBA Draft process before he elected to remain in school for his sophomore season.

The Warriors would like to upgrade their starting small-forward spot.

Golden State reportedly would like to trade a combination of its four first-round picks for Andre Iguodala, Nicolas Batum, Luol Deng, Rudy Gay, Danny Granger or Josh Smith.

"Having four picks is a tremendous situation to be in, and I think we can do some good things with it," general manager Bob Myers said. "We're excited. We have a tremendous amount of assets, which puts us in good shape to explore a variety of opportunities. It's up to us to make something of it."

Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, a 6-foot-7 small forward out of Kentucky, also is coveted by the Warriors.

Granger is doable if Golden State forces the issue. Josh Smith as well though you kinda don't wanna see him at SF anymore.

Yall nikkas in trouble if we get any of those small forwards. Btw, Dorell Wright is on the market do any of yall want him and what would you offer?

Sidenote:We bringing in Terrence Jones to go head up against Perry Jones on monday.

 

[smARTmouf]

This draft is kinda deep....


...I'm going thru my mock and late 2nd you could still get a rotation player

not to mention some lottery talent is getting pushed out further towards the 20s too..

I'd take Wright.


Wright + 30 +52 for 18 + Wes. I don't think Minny does it because they don't want that many more rookies, but they need the bodies.

 

[firemanBk]

Just realized Terrence Jones is having an Aaron Rodgers like fall in this mock.

 

[holidayinn21]

[FukkaPaidEmail]
