The Official 2012 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[red222]

Kevin Martin to the Timberwolves for the No. 18 pick is being discussed.

 

[BlakeSuperior]

16 + 18 + filler for 8? Then Scola + 14 for 5? Then 5 + 8 + whoever for Dwight?

That's just me talking...can't wait til Thursday or for some trades to start cracking.

 

[OG Talk]

Picks in the late 2nd round are akin to sweepstakes. If a team drafted Looseuno in the late 2nd, it shouldn't surprise you. If a team drafted you in the 2nd round with your Mongolian passport, it shouldn't surprise you.

I would usually agree with you but this draft is so deep with potentially quality role players that you shouldn't just risk a 2nd round pick on a flyer thats so one dimensional..


Deep in the 2nd you'd gotta go with a Hollis Thompson, Kevin Murphy or Will Buford over Shurna...

Rockets have dealt Chase Budinger to Minn for 18th pick, source said.

So Minny is basically saying Chase has more upside than Moe Harkless, Terrence Jones and/or Purry..

I dunno man...

Actually I strike T. Jones from this convo ( he IS a bum)

 

[Heelmatic]

Minny could've done better than Budinger, I would think.

 

[Malcolmxxx_23]

raptors really picking Dion Waiters

is he good

smh hes only 6'4

 

[William Bassington]

He has the slashing ability of a young Dwade, but has an inconsistent shot. Pretty good at creating his own shot tho, peep this vid

i think budinger is an excellent pick up for them. He isn't a me first player (even though with his skills he should be).....dude is a good shooter, and lowkey probably one of the top 10 athletic players in the league.....he can get uuuupppppppppp


all he needs to do is stop being so got damn passive, lol


but honestly i dont see anyone on the board at 18 who would be better than him

Draft Express reporting Houston has offered Lowry, 14th and 16th picks to Sac for the 5th pick and Tyreke.

 

[The War Report]

Why are they so hell bent on getting Howard when he's expressed that he doesn't want to stay there

 

[GoldenGlove]

So Minny goes from asking for Kevin Martin for the 18 to Chase Budinger?

I like Budinger's game but that sounds like a deal they were just desperate to make.

 

[Heelmatic]

Everyone knows how flakey Howard is. If they can get him to Houston and maybe find a way to sign D-Will, they'll convince his ass to stay.

For next year:

The NBA has granted Boston a 2013 second-round pick from Oklahoma City in a dispute over Jeff Green's medical condition, sources tell Y!
