The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[FAH1223]

Yeah im thinking more like a trade down.

why? they took Bennett #1 last year

Cavs do not care

napier is going in the teens now?

He was always in the 20s range but has been having great workouts, but that's not really all that surprising, he's more skilled than either Smart or Payton, just doesn't have their size and athleticism. People getting way too caught up in that dumbass Ford headline(not saying you, just speaking in general), the Lebron nonsense aside Ford said he had a great workout with the Heat, which is in line with all the other reports of his workouts. If the Heat want him its not surprising they would want to move up and get him, and that really doesn't have anything to do with "luring Lebron back", which was just dumb wording on Ford's part.

you're right

That has to be for a trade down with the Magic, cause if Wiggins/Parker are gone then the most likely option for the Sixers is Exum.

I'm just going to say that Chris Grant is gone now...And I hope that Griffen isn't like him.

I think the Magic may want Exum, he supposedly wowed them in his workout. If the Cavs take Wiggins, Parker goes 2nd, then Exum most likely goes 3rd, leaving them without the player they truly want

Their due dilligence

I don't know breh, that Embiid injury got yall looking shakey out here.

They are testing other teams to see who they want and how badly they want them.

I wouldn't put any stock in what you are reading this week.
