Brandon Jennings getting coached by Scott Skiles? He's either going to really benefit from that and becoming a quality PG, or collect splinters on thebench next to Skiles and eventually get traded. There is no middle ground

Don't like that.

Take Tyreke at 5... New York wouldn't move up for Flynn, I don't think, and Golden State isn't taking another PG...

So you end up with Tyreke and Flynn anyways, plus you add Wilson Chandler... Seems like a great deal to me, if they're sure NY doesn't want Flynn...

That's great value what are some of ya'll talking about? Chandler and the 8th for ONE of those picks?



That's great value if everything goes as planned. The thing that worries me, is these mock drafts are dookie more times than not, and I'm almostcertain teams will be trading in and around the Top 5 spots leaving everything more uncertain.

If that scenario were to play out then heck yeah...Do it. I just don't know.

Yeah.

I think the trade alone isn't worth it for Houston. So you're giving up Shane (I don't mind trading away Brooks) for Rubio who's like 3 yearsaway from really panning out?

I think if this trade goes down, it has to be part of an Amare deal, where the Rockets give up the #2 in part of a TMac based package in order for the Suns toinclude the #14.

Either way, the initial Amare deal has supposedly already been offered to Houston, and the ball is in their court.

 

[i nasmatic i]

The Warriors and New Jersey Nets are talking about a deal which would send Vince Carter to the Warriors. The Warriors have offered 6th man Corey Maggette asthe centerpiece in the deal along with swapping first round picks this year. The hold up at this point seems to be who else the Warriors would send to the Netalong with the Nets wanting the Warriors to take back Keyon Dooling as well.

 

[651akathepaul]

The rumors are starting to fly.

I love it.

wont happen, the suns dont want big contracts back and Biedrins has a huge one

 

[CP1708]

Man, I sure hope at least a couple of these deals go down. I'd hate to sit around and not see anything but a bunch of nobodies traded.

If all these trades happen.......

Minnesota receives:
Devin Harris


New Jersey receives:
Ricky Rubio
Craig Smith

that would be a terrible terrible trade for the wolves.

i hope this stays as a rumor.

 

[franchise3]

Why would the Nets tack on Magette's deal though?

 

[otis dont play that]

Nba Draft is so suspenseful. I love it

Before the draft even begins.

Edit: This post didn't help.

 

[vc3fan]

Probably before the draft.

 

[lazy b]

Nope. I haven't posted really today but I'll hit the limit by the end of the Knicks first pick. Only if I had my backup names.

 

[roc boy jada]

It depends on what happens tonight.

I don't think I'll hit my post limit but if I do, I have my backup.

 

[jamesonnt]

Gonna go play ball for a while .. probably going to miss the first few picks.

Hopefully the Knicks do something major (not get Rubio) .. don't let me down.

 

[x1xjigsawx1x]

Lets get some big trades going. Exciting day

 

[mateen cleaves]

cant wait til the draft, hopefully a lot of trades go down. I dont care for a lot of players in the draft so im only hoping for trades.
