The Official 2012 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[Bruh Man 5th Flo]

Moe Harkless, Terrence Jones, Jeff Taylor, Quincy Miller....

they COULD be better than bud......but as of right now they aren't. Budinger is still only like 23-24 himself

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.

In theory you are correct but Dan Fagan aint getting him to stay in Houston even tho Houston is a big market.

True.


If we were still a bottom feeding organization that had nowhere to go this would anger me. I guess this is the shyt you do when you attempt to start winning now.

That said, all along I wanted to trade back. I don't wanna miss out on adding talent through this draft. If they can move up or buy back into an early 2nd or something I'm with it. That's all we've been scouting, so perhaps we might do something Thursday.

Martell Webster to the Celtics for one of their 1st watch it happen

 

[tremonthustler1]

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)

That's not what they're saying at all. If anything they're saying they don't have time to see whether these players will develop in 2-3 years.

it looks like CLE wants to move to #2

no Beal for us Thursday guys... Harrison Barnes will be the pick for WAS

 

[tremonthustler1]

Fab Melo obviously backed out of the Minny workout today. They're still scouting early 2nd rounders though.

I have no clue what Houston would do with 3 picks. I struggled to figure out what they'd do with 2 picks.

Andrew Nicholson is a hot name right now as teams in the late lottery are considering him and there's an excellent chance that he will land somewhere in the teens on draft night. There are a number of teams attempting to move up for him, and it's unlikely that he would fall past Orlando at 19 or Denver at 20. We hear OKC is one team that could be looking to add a mid-first rounder to grab him, with Eric Maynor as possible trade bait.

 

[FAH1223]

Loose, he is one of my favorite players in the draft. Definitely can score inside.

Being a season ticket holder in the A10 I've watched the kid since he was a freshman, and over time he's extended his range to 20 ft and he's learned to score in a variety of ways. Def a polished product that can prob help a contender immediately. He's got a rainman like quality to him but the kid can ball.

Melo is in Miami, might be a workout

Yea i know, I was hoping he would still be in the 20 range teams are realizing his talent now

 

[LittleLordBboy]

If he weren't such a plodder and had more of an NBA body (i.e his physique/playing above the rim as opposed to strictly height & weight) he'd prob be a late lottery pick

 

[tremonthustler1]

Melo is in Miami, might be a workout

Hopefully the next Minny/Miami powwow involves that 27th pick

Tre, is Chase going to start?


If so you're gonna have the whitest NBA starting 5 in maybe 40 years.
