The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

[tremonthustler1]

Draft news and updates:

1. Milwaukee believes Parker can play PF (which would really change the draft).

2. Denver's shopping #11 for a proven commodity. Charlotte, LA, Sacramento, Utah are also shopping their picks (Utah to move back, Charlotte to move up, LA and Sacramento for vet help).


3. Arron Afflalo would prefer to go to a contender (I'd keep an eye on Golden State, especially if they make a blockbuster trade)

4. According to Chad Ford, nobody in the top 10 will pick Dario Saric if he stays overseas for another year.

5. Ford also believes the C's are leaning towards Aaron Gordon at 6. This would also mean (from a Kevin Love trade watch) that should they pick him, Love won't go there since Flip Saunders is down on Gordon.

6. Enes Kanter is trade bait, perhaps to Philly (only if they can't move up. They'll try but realistically 1, 2, and 3 are immovable pieces)

7. If Minnesota moves up in the draft (via Love trade) Marcus smart is Flip's #1 pick. Hardy speculative since he's the only non PF he requested for a workout. Smart has yet to sign up.

Knicks need to buy a pick.

 

[Hahahaha]

My gut feeling is if Danny doesn't trade for Love or Melo he's going to trade Rondo for a top 10 pick ( I can see a trade to SAC happening.)

Here's the thing. They have a 3 in Giannis Antetokounmpo. Ilyasova's probably gonna get dealt at some point and unless Sanders gets his shyt together, they may run a really small lineup with Henson at the 5 (or as a major super sub). They'd still need SG help, but that guy isn't there to be had so they may have to use Mayo til 2015.

Of course, someone's gonna ask "why not Antetokounmpo at SG?" His body's gonna outgrow it fairly quickly.

Personality wise Parker would be perfect in Milwaukee but he cannot play pf in NBA unless he gains all that baby fat back and turns it into muscle.

That said, I can't see wiggins as a buck. I don't think the league wants it.

he has the reach for it, and since everyone loves to compare him to Melo, Melo's pretty much a stretch four.

Parker's a tweener really, but his offense is so potent that you just try to find a spot for him. Of course we said the same thing for Michael Beasley, but hey.

Dante exum makes the most sense for the bucks imo


sanders
henson
giannis
oj
exum

i don't think they are smart like that, though.

which is why this organization has parker slated as a pf.
when, parker is only a three, period.

forgot about Knight, and they'd wanna keep Knight.

 

[Sly Cookin]

You right i just figured oj has to start because of that contract he got. Exum could be their 2guard of the future next to knight. Although they would need to improve their shooting along with giannis.

i would not say he is a tweener at all.
yeah, you can insert him at the four on some stubborn, shareef abdur raheim type steez and risk injury.
or try to put him out there at the four on bullshyt like the knicks with melo.
yet, parker is not a four, and neither is melo or beasley.
nor, was abdur raheim, a four.

the problem with the nba is the lack of coaching and adequate scouting.

you watch an nba game and just note the lack of potential on roster not being actualized and the shyt is depressing.
or the flipside is they pull some asinine shyt like putting melo at the four.
all because you got an idiot disciplanarian, for a coach.
who really is not that great a coach.

Not liking the idea of Jabari as a 4 for Milwaukee. And a damn shame Utah couldn't get the Favors/Kanter front court to work.

I'm kind of thinking that too in regards to the bolded but I have no tangible reason as to why.
