Not everyone thinks that highly of Tristan Thompson. I sure as hell don't. Cavs will make some moves though going to be a crazy off season.

that highly? even just a regular run of the mill role player is worth moving down 4 spots in this draft

The bad draft stuff is over used. This is a draft were teams are just going to take who they want. Len and Oladipo will be gone by 7. Hell Dion Waiters went number 3. Teams are in love Oladipo.

Cats not moving out that 4 spot. They will have a chance at Oladipo, Len, McLemore, Porter or Noel. Dropping to 7 erases all 5 of those guys.

im not saying they are...but the people saying its bad value wise to move from 4 to 7 to get tristan thompson, one of the better defensive rebounders is kind of hilarious

It's not a bad move for Charlotte; it would be for some teams though. Despite all the talk about this being a weak draft (another debate for another time) there really is one player at each position clearly better than anyone else at that position in this draft. Moving down from 4 to 7 would mean you lose your shot at any of them. The thing with Charlotte, however, is that they don't have a desperate need for any one position - they have desperate needs at every position. Getting Thompson upgrades PF and still leaves them with a shot at Len (who would likely be the best player left at 7).

Re: NBA Draft Day Trades You'd Like to See

I like the reasoning for both teams. Remember last year when the Pistons traded Ben Gordon along with a future 1st to the Bobcats just to dump his salary? Well they saved around $11 million this past season. If they completed your proposed Marion trade, it would be just like Gordon's expiring deal and they're getting a 1st round pick back.

End result: They saved around $11 million and still got their pick back. Now that would be management.

Oh and I absolutely think Cleveland would give up all four picks. Last year they hated having all those picks, which is why they traded them to Dallas to move up for Zeller.

I'm all for cap space but I think you are missing one technicality that not everyone is aware of: if Dallas trades their 2013 1st round pick to Detroit, OKC also has Dallas' 2014 1st round pick. There is a rule stating a team must have at least one 1st round pick in back to back season. Detroit would have to replace the second round they give Dallas with a 2014 1st. That may not be desirable for Detroit though.

The Bobcats get screwed in this deal imo.

The Cavs would also since Cousins could walk when his contract is up and the Cavs lost TT and all those picks for a undersized PF. I don't care of him being undersized tell you the truth, but the fact that the Cavs giving up a proven double double guy for a guy that's not even proven yet is insane.

they didn't hate having all all those picks no team hates having a lot of picks. They used their late first round pick and two early 2nd round picks to move up to get Zeller from the MAVS because they needed a future center. Like I said before the Cavs won't give up all their picks for a guy that has attitude problems and could leave the organization when his contract is up.

In the draft last year Chris Broussard's sources in Cleveland were telling him that the team didn't want to open camp with more than one or two rookies on their roster. Couple minutes later the deal with Dallas went down.

They could arrange the deal beforehand, have Dallas draft a specified player, and then immediately trade his draft rights rather than the pick. There is no way Detroit's giving up its pick in the Andrew Wiggins sweepstakes.

with more then 2 rookies more like it. Chris Grant who is the Cavs GM and other GMs in the League like to get as many picks as they can.. why? They bundle the picks to trade up or to make a trade. No team is going to draft a crap load of rookies and have a college team. To the other guy any report you see about the Cavs has to be taken with a grain of salt especially with Chris Grant as the GM. All the guys he drafted are out of the blue are never what mock drafts say. He always mentions he's building the team through the draft and trade since Cleveland can't really get any FA worth a damn. The team will continue to see more rookies and probably only 1 from the 4 draft picks from this supposedly weak draft.

Re: NBA Draft Day Trades You'd Like to See

Too lazy to check if it would work, but I think a trade package revolving around OKC's 12th pick and Afflalo of ORL would benefit both teams. Thunder would get stronger at the 2 guard and don't really need another young prospect to draft since they're competing for the championship. ORL on the other hand gets to shed Afflalo's contract which would help them do a complete rebuild.

OKC:
Westbrook
Afflalo or Sefolosha
Durant
Ibaka
Perk

ORL:
Nelson/Schroeder? (12th pick)
McLemore
Harkless
Harris
Vucevic

I knew before even clicking on this thread that the Kings would be involved.
No! Keep DeMarcus Cousins and Tyreke Evans. End of story. Wow. Always want to trade a good player to the Cavs.
