Right now it appears that Oklahoma City is leaning towards picking Rubio and keeping him as a trading chip to potentially use this summer. A few sources we spoke with mentioned that they still expect Rubio to end up in New York when it's all said and done.
Oklahoma City is also active in trade talk with
Phoenix, with their main target appearing to be Robin Lopez. They are reportedly offering Phoenix their 2010 unprotected pick back in return for Lopez, but that seems like a very high price for the Suns to pay.
Sacramento seems to be leaning towards Tyreke Evans from what we're hearing, and may have even told him as much.
If Minnesota keeps the pick, it looks very likely that they will take Jonny Flynn with one of those picks, with the other pick likely being used on James Harden. Some people think that DeMar DeRozan could be a target, but that seems far-fetched.
That would leave Golden State with an interesting dilemma at 7-take Jordan Hill or Stephen Curry? It seems like they would lean towards Hill, although this is a tough one to call.
At #8, we might see the unfathomable happen-Stephen Curry available to the Knicks? That would really make for an unforgettable moment in the Garden. Gerald Henderson also appears to be a target here.
Getting Curry, plus Rubio for Lee would be incredible
