      Boston trying to move up in the lottery again.

      I'd assume they'd have to deal Pierce or Bradley to do so, or maybe a team would take Moore or JaJuan Johnson. Wonder, who they want?

        I think the Bucks are interested in moving back again, but I think it would be more like:
        #14 and 37 to Boston
        #21 and 22 to Milwaukee
        NFL: Bills
        NBA: Bucks
        MLB: Cubs
        NCAA: Syracuse
        Soccer: USMNT/DC United

          I'm almost certain the Cavs will not trade up now.

            Ok, I could see that. The way it was being reported or i was seeing it, it seemed like they wanted get in the top 10 or something and that just isn't going to happen.

              It's not up to MJ, it's up to Rich Cho and Rod Higgins when it comes to trade and draft decisions.

                If Cho is making the picks, I would be fine with that. However, we all know Jordan will be the one who makes the call and that means another bad pick of the likes of Kwame and Morrison....

                Im hoping Jordan forgets today is draft day and is at the golf course somewhere this afternoon.
                However, he is not making picks. He didn't make the picks last year when we brought Cho in, so he won't be making picks this year. Cho has a database that he uses to pick players. One of these days you guys will realize this. MJ is now more of a traditional owner. Hard to believe I know.

                  I heard late lottery.

                  I'd love to make that trade if I'm Milwaukee and Terrence Ross/Jeremy Lamb/Tyler Zeller are gone at 14. Pick up Fab Melo and Royce White/Will Barton/possibly PJIII if he falls?

                  My guess is that Boston covets Terrence Ross. Rondo/Bradley is an undersized backcourt. Ross can give them a bigger guard, a sharp shooter, a guy that can take some minutes from Pierce, and a guy that fits right in as far as being a good defender goes. I think that's actually the perfect fit for him.

                    I like that Actually. I've heard Tony Woten Jr, Andrew Nicholson, Royce White being linked to them as well but they wouldn't go that far to draft those guys.

                    Should be an interesting draft, to say the least.

                      On ESPN they had Drummond going #5 to the Kings. I am probably wrong, but why in the hell would they draft him after they got Cousins 2 years ago for the Center spot?

                        I think Cousins is in that Greg Monroe/Al Horford position where he can play PF or C.

                          According to league sources, the Bulls are drafting Tyshawn Taylor from Kansas tonight with the 29th pick.

                          I don't know how reliable this is and I didn't really watch much of Taylor this year so I don't know what he brings to the table. I would rather draft a combo guard and look for a PG in free agency since C.J Watson most likely would be gone next year.

                            Honestly, it is hard to believe, but I know they brought Cho in for this exact reason.

                            I think MJ will definitely have his say on exactly what to do with the pick, in terms of if he trades the pick for say one of those "5 offers on the table", not necessarily who they draft should they keep the #2.

                            Basically I'm saying, look, you're in a prime spot, with all these teams wanting to be in your position and offering up packages, seems like they have options. A screw up would be awful at this point...

                              NBA Source just told me the Bobcats will probably trade the 2nd pick. This is gonna be a an Exhilirating 48 hours for Charlotte. Same NBA Source told me Michael Jordan is giving Rich Cho Full Autonomy on Trades, Draft Decisions, Free Agency, etc. Things are looking up.
                              So yeah.

                                But Cousins is a 5. He isn't undersized/his skillset isn't better utilized like Monroe for the 4 position.
                                I still hope Drummond somehow falls to #9 for the Pistons, I think him and Monroe could be a great front court for 10+ years if Drummond develops properly.
