- jordan was 21 when was drafted btw
and for the thunder, my thought process is i just came off of making the finals.. i control the rights for harden and ibaka for 2 years.. if i'm making a trade, someone has to blow me away
or i can just sit on my hands and make a run at things next year.. AND THEN see if i want to trade one of those guys
also the bobcats just picked up another first from the pistons in the ben gordon trade.. and we are dealing with MJ and co

It'll probably take two of those picks and Lowry.

guys I like going into tomorrow night without much publicity:
Terrence Ross - why are Rivers/Waiters separating from the other SG's when Ross (and Lamb) actually have NBA SG size/length and can defend?
Terrence Jones - he already knows how to play a part on a team and win. He meshes well with talent - defends and should develop a nice face up game.
Marquis Teague - again, Cal calls you the best pick and roll defensive PG he's ever had - that means something - especially in today's NBA. I sound like 'college guy' with the UK kids, but I'm drinking the blue kool-aid, those kids compete and make plays with very few mistakes.
Moe Harkless- another year in college and he's in the lotto. He's need a jump shot, I think he can get one. Maybe he's Earl Clark 2.0 but he was as good as JR year Earl Clark as a FR and is more consistent.
Will Barton - On one hand, he can't shoot and can be a loose cannon. On the other, he put together a hell of an unnoticed season and by all accounts his workouts have gone well.
Bernard James - He'll defend and compete like crazy. that's good enough for a back up center.
Johnson-Odom - defends. Can spot up and hit 3's. those guys find homes.
Cunningham- great athlete. Defends, defends, defends. Better on offense than given credit for.
Tyshawn Taylor- 6'4, athletic and one of the best on ball defenders in the draft (I'm on a defensive kick, too). Mistake prone guys aren't ideal in a back up PG but I'd be willing to work through them.
Tony Mitchell- 2% chance he gets drafted and that's a shame although self-inflicted. Outside of MKG, I can't think of many guys that impact the game better in transition and on the defensive end than him from the SF position.
Oh, and Drummond and Henson shouldn't be falling out of the top 8 but I've made it known I like both.

I like the trade alot. Cleared up roster space with useless talent for hopefully someone with potential while having two 7 footers. I see us looking at either Terrence Ross or Jeremy Lamb with Monta and Jennings future being questionable. Or Terrence Jones or Perry Jones III because there's still alot of average talents in our front court. I wouldnt be mad at getting any of these 4 guys.

Why would the Kings cave in? The Rockets are screwed if they dont get top 6 pick and the Kings look like they only ones willing to trade it. I think the Kings want the 12th pick with Lowry instead of 16th. Hopefully Kings can get it done.

As a Kings fan I would be EXTREMELY happy if we could pull that deal off. Only guy I really like if we're picking at 5 is Kidd Gilchrist and I don't think he will be there.

Sixers wanna do Iggy for #8, Calderon and Ed Davis...Raptors want the Sixers to include #15. I haven't heard anything new about it in close to a week so idk what the deal is with that now.

I have no idea what the Sixers are doing. They don't even really have a GM at the moment since Thorn is stepping down and the Hawks worked something out with Danny Ferry before they did. They just better go all the way young and start over with Jrue, Turner and some high draft picks or go into complete win now mode and sacrifice their youth. They've been stuck in mediocrity for the past 8 damn years.

Jrue, Turner, Young is a nice young core to build around. They are not in any position to win now, but with the right moves in a few years they could be real contenders as those 3 guys continue to develop

I know they've held some talks with the Jazz and Lakers about trading Iggy for Gasol or Al Jefferson, and I think both teams would do those deals but neither one of them would help towards the Sixers future. They would just keep them in middle of the pack mediocrity. They're definitely gonna trade the guy this offseason though cause they have to get Turner in his natural position at small forward.

Bro, I feel the same way about Danny Granger. I love the guy, but he is preventing Paul George from playing at his natural spot

I'm going out on a limb and say I think Beal could possibly be the best talent out this draft; even win rookie of the year.
Man dude really is an Ox. Just watched more youtube video of him, and he's the most NBA ready. Dude just %!%+% on everybody. Literally. In the backcourt with a outside 3, slashing to the paint, 17 foot jumper mid range is nice, and on the fastbreak - he's automatic.
..and the greatest thing about that is he's only 19
. Young boy is the truth.
