The Official 2012 NBA Draft Talk Thread

I am a Cavs fan and I really really really want Bradley Beal in this draft to pair with Kyrie Irving.
I wonder if the Cavs would trade #4 and #24 to Charlotte for #2 in order to leapfrog Washington and get Beal. They have a ton of future picks and could have a dynamic backcort for the next 10 years.

Royce White may have a Celtics promise....cancelled all upcoming workouts.

Sam Amick and Chad Ford have conflicting reports, but the word is that Ford's scoop is true and teams are trying to jump ahead of Boston to get White.
Personally, White's like the Zack Greinke of hoops. I don't think he can succeed in a pressure cooker town, but in a smaller market, you'll get the best of him.
My possible scenario: Minnesota takes him at 18 and holds him for ransom.
Anyways, Boston is denying there is a promise. Then again, of course they are.

Sam Amico droppin lots of heat about the draft. Just had a Q&A on Twitter a while ago:
- says the Lakers are working the phones hard to make a move into the first round. Target is supposedly Perry Jones, but they just want a high pick.
-Believes Charlotte will pick Thomas Robinson, but it is not a lock that they stay at 2. He believes the Cavs want Brad Beal badly and are trying to make a trade with Charlotte at #2 to snatch him up.
If Cleveland has to choose between Harrison Barnes and Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, they're taking Barnes.
Predicts Jeff Taylor to Cleveland with the 24th pick. Also doesn't see them necessarily drafting a center and could opt for a trade or free agency to fill that void.
Actually doesn't believe the Wizards will draft Beal or MKG at all. At best he thinks it's far from a guarantee that the Wizards take Beal. Doesn't see Ariza as the Wizards closing the door on SF (actually believes they'd take MKG over Beal)
NO chance Anderson Varejao gets traded on draft night.
Andrew Nicholson might not make it to #24.
Predicts the 2 big sleepers will be Kevin Murphy of Tennessee Tech and Mike Scott of Virginia.
Doesn't think Dalembert and the #16 pick will get Houston higher than the #11 pick.
And Lakers fans, you'll love this.

He's a better reporter than you give him credit for. I don't know about his guarantees, but I trust his info.

I'm concerned my team's name still surrounds that mope.
Please be true! I know a team at #9 that he could thrive on.

All the top 4 or 5 picks have pretty much ended their workouts. They're just sitting and waiting.
Still plenty of 2nd rounders /late first working out as late as Wednesday.
Will Barton coming to Minny to work out on Monday
