Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

If the Hawks are really eying Kanter, then they must wanna move Horford to PF.

Interesting.

@WojYahooNBA
Adrian Wojnarowski There's sense Kings could be leveraging Spurs with leak of possible deal in place for 7th pick. Kings don't want Jefferson in Parker deal.

Sorry for making this thread into Twitter

Honestly, WTF does Sacramento want with Parker? SMH. Just SMH. You're rebuilding for christ sake. Go out and get a young PG like Kemba or Knight. WTF?

Keep going man, lol, I can't check all the twitter stuff at work so I'm loving this.

And I don't know about Parker. How old is he? 29? Maybe they hope he can be the veteran leader of the team? I mean, Durant's been in the league what, 4 years, and him and RW got OKC contending. Next year will be Tyreke's 3rd year. Maybe they're hoping to speed up the process a little bit and that having TP for a few years is better than taking a flier on Kemba or Jimmer? I don't know. Sacto has to be relevant to keep the team in that city, don't they? Maybe they think that's the only way.

How is that bad? Parker still has several good years left, probably playing at a higher level than Kemba or Knight ever will. I'd say the Spurs would be the team getting hustled if it's TP for the 7th pick in a terrible draft.

They're rebuilding. I don't see how bringing in a guy like Parker is gonna help them rebuild.

They should just go young and it especially doesn't make sense when Kemba is gonna be there at #7.. yet you're gonna take a veteran PG. I don't get it. Unless SAC thinks they're further ahead in the rebuilding process, which they're not.

Via DraftExpress:

Teams calling Sacramento about the #7 pick are being told it's already been moved. Problem is, no one knows to who, or for which player.

Here comes the first "mock draft grenade" I'm hearing. And its a big one. Waiting for confirmation...

Who do they have at PF right now? If they make this trade, I would assume Garcia or somebody's contract would be involved to balance out the $$$?

So:
PG: TP
SG: Tyreke
SF: Casspi?
PF: Jason Thompson?
C: DeMarcus Cousins

I feel like TP, Tyreke, and DeMarcus are enough to at least give the fans some excitement and some reason to go to the games and perhaps TP's can help the young guys mature some more.

Like I mentioned before, isn't there a chance Sacto has to relocate? If so, I would think they're hoping to make a splash sooner rather than later to allow them to stick around.

[goh]

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

I found something to hope for other than the Raptors not screwing it up. Singler falling to the Clippers @ 37.

I want Kemba in Charlotte.

Please keep us updated lol. I'm stuck here for 50 more minutes before I can drive home and start checking stuff out on my own.

Will do... Something is telling me this is gonna be the wildest draft ever...

EDIT: Doubt this is the grenade, but it seems the Bucks have a deal with Sacto for the 7th pick

Bucks appear to have deal with Sacamento for No. 7

[Gibbz]

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

I'd guess Sac would be...

PG - TP
SG - Evans
SF - Casspi
PF - Cousins
C - Dalembert


That's pretty sick, IMO.

Thank God. Hopefully this is true.

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

Sacramento has traded their 7th pick...just no one knows to who and for what.

Re: 2011 NBA Draft Discussion Thread

I'm hearing #7 went to the Bucks.
