The Official 2014 NBA Draft Talk Thread

Love, however, didn’t shoot down the notion of joining the Cavs.
“I don’t think the Cleveland (trade rumors are) outlandish at all,” he told The Big Lead’s Jason McIntyre. “They have a great young foundation.”
The Cavs would have to give up the No. 1 pick in any deal for Love, in addition to possibly guard Dion Waiters and forward Tristan Thompson. That’s a lot for a player who could be a free agent in 2015.

@jaguar paw if your squad trades that pick for Love.............

Love is in full reach around troll mode status.

I'm sure he'd tell SVG that he could see himself falling in love with Jennings and Josh if he could just get out of Minny.

Love was just being nice. He wasn't going to come out and say "hell no I don't want to play for the Cavs".

I would rather take my chances with Embiid anyway.

Just hope Gilbert doesn't read more into that than he should

This is the first time you and I have agreed on a pick

Griffin can rub Gilbert's face in some of the dumb moves he forced last year (signing and immediately forcing Bynum on the team, signing Jarrett Jack, hiring Mike Brown without interviewing other candidates, and forcing Bennett to play when he wasn't ready).

Not to say that Gilbert will be able to control himself. But he now realizes that he's impeding the growth of his team.

He's practically been saying "hell no I don't wanna play for the T'wolves anymore all week" and that's the team he's on

Not gonna happen.

They can keep Waiters anyway.

 

[VegetasHairline]

crash is trash, breh.
he only played one year for a contract.

he is Chris Wilcox with a slightly higher draft pedigree as a straight from hs guy.
which is why he was given more than Wilcox and made t look good on paper.
past that and sympathy for catching the bionic elbow from that Lakers basketcase Bynum.
I see why they eliminated the jump from high school.
when, you factor in how huff he really was.

crash is that one guy who the knicks drafted who was a garbage energy guy with the dreads.

Art Barr

Breh, you couldn't be more wrong about Gerald Wallace, plus the Kings drafted him. Not the Knicks. Crash was no scrub when he 1st went to Charlotte. I'm not gonna allow the disrespect. Still wish the Kings would have kept him.

 

[Hahahaha]

I don't see why the Cavs would give up the #1 pick for Love. Now if they could trade Bennett/Waiters/Thompson for him that would make sense. Embiid/Love compliment each other perfectly.

What's the latest with the Kings? @tremonthustler1 I haven't paid any attention to this at all. I'm usually all up in the draft threads but I just wanna wait and see what happens this year. I have no clue what the team will do. I want Marcus Smart but I doubt he falls to 8.

 

[VegetasHairline]

Who would you target at 8? @Malta Do any of these bigs fit well with Boogie?

From what I am seeing, the rumors of a trade with them and the Bucks is a strong possibilty. It's based around McLemore/#8/salary for Larry Sanders/Knight.

I wouldn't even mind that to be honest, as long as Larry Sanders gets his shyt together. He and Boogie would be nice together.

If I was the Kings, I would target a PG as they have higher value at your slot. Marcus Smart, Dante Exum, or even someone like Efried Payton.

As for a big that fits next to Boogie and your system. Porzingis from Lativa is a good fit but he is still growing as a player. I think the Kings are closer to a trade than any other team in this draft. That includes those with top 3 picks.

It would be an excellent fit from a talent perspective. Similar fit like Sheed/Big Ben. Malone has done wonders for Boogie's mentality but Larry Sanders is another dimension like Boogie. I am not super big on Brandon Knight at PG but the system that Malone runs isn't PG-centric. It's more suited for scoring PG's than pure PG's which fits Knight more than the Bucks system.

Isaiah Thomas needs to be this team's sixth man. It's great to see all he's done in his career so far but he isn't a starter. The sixth man role is perfect for him. I don't see Smart or Exum falling to 8. I don't know much about Payton but from the thread, everyone seems to like him. This team NEEDS a pass 1st PG who will play defense and look to get everyone involved. I'm sick of seeing nothing but combo guards trying to play PG here.
