Vesely appears to have received assurances from the Wizards that he’s indeed the pick, according to reports from NBA teams who have spoken with his camp. With the team’s other top options, Valanciunas and Kanter, off the board, this makes plenty of sense, even if Kawhi Leonard did draw some looks here as well.
If Valanciunas somehow slips past Utah, Cleveland and Toronto, the Wizards’ front office is high on his services. Still, it would be difficult for owner Ted Leonsis to sign off on having to wait on Valanciunas for another season, which is an edge for Vesely.

So it's either trade up for Kanter or take Vesely....

Cavaliers mum on who’ll go No. 1
As the hours crept closer to the start of Thursday’s NBA draft, Kyrie Irving still didn’t have a commitment from the Cleveland Cavaliers that he’ll be the No. 1 pick. The Cavs’ front office has been in lockdown mode, offering no suggestions, no scenarios, to prospective players on how everything will unfold.
Nevertheless, Irving is still believed to be the team’s first choice, a move that likely would trigger the Minnesota Timberwolves to select Arizona forward Derrick Williams second overall.
Cleveland had so many scenarios developing – contingencies which come with owning the first and fourth overall picks. The Cavaliers were still trying to parlay their two second-round picks (No. 32 and 54) into a late first-round selection, sources said. Cleveland also has discussed trades for point guard Baron Davis, sources said, but has nothing imminent there.
The Cavaliers are intrigued with several players at No. 4 but have offered the pick in potential trades to teams in exchange for young forwards. Texas standout Tristan Thompson made a strong impact on Cleveland executives in a workout this week, and he’s a real possibility to be selected at the fourth spot. His agent happens to be Rich Paul, one of LeBron James’ childhood friends and part of the Maverick Carter LRMR marketing company that created “The Decision.

@+$* is annoying as hell. I never thought i'd be saying "Damn, i wish we didn't trade Dalembert, Reggie Evans and John Salmons".Originally Posted by itsaboutthattime
Iguodala for Odom and Luke Walton..
only the 76ers would be dumb enough to trade for luke walton and take on that contract![]()
are the 76ers trying to create the ultimate 'small ball' lineup with their reasoning for trading for odom?
seriously, they play lou williams at SG
brand plays some C at times
young plays PF most of the time
and now they want odom to play C

But the athleticism and mental toughness just isn't there (in his players) Hence why they always choke.
Am I saying Kyrie will suck because he went to Duke? Nah, I hope and think he is a talent I have never seen at Duke before. But I have my doubts.

Wow! A coach's job is to get guys good to win in college. Not help you have a "Good" NBA career. The guys Coach K gets at Duke aren't overly athletic and that's usually what you need to go to the NBA. BTW doesn't Duke have more "successful" guys in the league than UNC?
The "Duke doesn't produce pros" argument is completely played out

After initially seeing their reported offer for Tony Parker fall apart, the Portland Trail Blazers may have set their eyes on another point guard on a contending team. The latest NBA trade rumor, via Draft Express, has the Blazers sending Andre Miller and their No. 21 overall pick to the Orlando Magic for Jameer Nelson.

*EDIT* Just read Rambis is being fired AFTER the draft...meaning, he has to sit in tonight
