The Official 2012 NBA Draft Talk Thread

For the shyt we've been offered that's the only deal that sounds like fair return for Varejao.

But say it goes:
Davis
Robinson
Beal
MKG
Barnes
Drummond

Who would the Cavs take at 7?

If the Cav were to take Drummond 4th with the 7th in their back pocket Barnes or MKG will be there, Blazers have Batum.

ATM, *spoiler* I got the draft looking like this:

Davis
Barnes
Beal

Cleveland at 4 has to decide between MKG and Drummond.

If they go MKG

Robinson
Drummond

at 7, go for Lamb or Rivers.

If they go Drummond:

5. MKG
6. Lillard
7. You almost have to take Robinson out of sheer value, but it's another reminder of Tristan Thompson being the elephant in the room

I like how the only thing secure in this draft is Davis at number 1. Ive seen so many variations of 2-7 it's insane. No one will be able to predict it. I still think PJ3 can go top ten....

 

[tofuspeedstar]

So long as the Rockets land Tyler Zeller or Fab Melo I'll be happy.

Then pick up a SG and dump Kevin Martin

 

[Microfracture]

Wilt is right....if the trade rumor is true the Cavs need to pull the trigger on that and take Drummond at 4.

For the 7th pick? id do it in a second.. Varejao is what he is

Cleveland has a habit of overvaluing mediocre players.



At the time, Hickson over Amare



They p*ssy

OK some draft notes for you… Jared Sullinger’s back is “not that bad” according to team source that’s considering him. Source said Sullinger back will likely require surgery, but it totally fixable... have to weigh his value if he misses a year. The source said if you evaluated all the players in the NBA, more than not would have something similar.. bulging discs are common

Someone could get a steal if they gamble.

Hearing Thomas Robinson and Michael-Kidd Gilchrist are likely the two guys Charlotte considers at #2... Washington trade signals Beal #3

Hearing Damian Lillard crushed in Sacramento, and while they need another guard like a hole in the head, they are strongly considering him

The belief on Dion Waiters is that its Toronto that wants him badly... and that denials or not... he's the Raptors guy at #8

Yeah for a rebuilding team they seem to be a little too cosnervative and playing it safe..they aint winning for awhile anyway acquire as many young cheap assets as possible..By the time the Cavs are real good again Vaerjao aint gonna be shyt

What is Cleveland waiting on...you can have a future core set with this trade if they pick Drummond @ 4, with 2 of Lamb/Waiters/Barnes guaranteed to be there.

One popular Knick rumor is that they:

a) are trying to work a draft night deal with Golden State where the move up to #35 and take Doron Lamb.
b) do a post-draft deal where they sign-and-trade Landry Fields for him.

Besides PG, Knicks are desperately trying to get young perimeter shooters and Lamb, Kim English, and Darius Odom-Johnson fit that. Guys who can catch-and-shoot, shoot off the dribble, or shoot running off a screen.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

fukk outta here, No way would we deal the 7th pick for Varejao.

Agree. This can't be true...

 

[The War Report]

Tre, what you think of The Knicks moving up to get Doron Lamb?
