Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

I will laugh my butt off if the Cavs trade this pick for a "solid" vet and a top 10 pick lol.

Why would they do that?

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

I feel if you're Cleveland, you have to take Wiggins.

You're not going to be as upset missing out as Embiid as you would if you missed out on Wiggins while possessing the number one pick.

The way the game is played now, Wiggins is the ideal prospect. Elite all-around athleticism, and can create his own shot consistently (Will need to improve his ball handling at next level). The strength will come and his shot will improve (he already has great form). You pair him alongside Irving and you have a back court that you can expect to be around for years to come.

Not to mention the giant question marks regarding Embiid's durability.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

That was Detroit's pick. They were slotted eighth and anything above that the pick goes to Charlotte. Since Cleveland moved up it moved Detroit to #9 where the pick goes to Charlotte automatically from the Corey Maggette deal (because Joe Dumars is a ****ing moron).

Outside of Cleveland getting the number one pick I would say the draft turned out as expected. I pretty much figured we were getting the number 9 pick for the NBA to market the Hornets. Best move Dumars made his whole time there

Re: 2014 Draft Class

Hornets make the playoffs and get a lotto pick in a stacked draft thanks to Ben Gordon! And we changed names officially! Yes!

Best thing Ben Gordon ever did for Charlotte.

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

They've put it out there that they are totally listening and open to trading the #1 pick this year. Like Sacramento they are tired of "young" talent and want vets. But this year I would never say I am opening to trading a top 3 pick unless you are giving me a guaranteed young healthy superstar. All three guys Wiggins, Parker and Embid have to much potential for me to entertain a trade for a solid vet and a top 10 pick.

But hey I wish Charlotte had a solid vet to give up and trade the 9 and 24 pick. I'd gladly take Parker or Wiggins in the QC

Yeah that's idiotic, that might just be smoke and mirrors. But who knows, it's the Cavs...I mean they hired Mike Brown after they fired him a few years ago and then gave him a 5 year contract last year and fired him after his first season so...

As a Charlotte fan, you have to be liking the direction your team is headed though!

Where are the Gerald Green/Andrew Wiggins comparisons coming from? Does not compute

Re: 2014 Draft Discussion

I think Cleveland puts together a trade package involving any two of Thompson, Waiters, Varejao, and/or Bennett and the number one overall pick for Kevin Love.


Not sure how Minnesota can say no to that.

No clue man lol I don't think Green could dream of playing the defense Wiggins will be capable of

With that said, I fear Wiggins could end up being the caliber of player Green was this year or slightly better, which wasn't bad but not an All-Star. The potential is there though... and the desire to be great defensively is something that is lost on most of the 'star' players these days

Again, I'd take Wiggins or Embiid no question unless Embiid's back is shot, which I wouldn't be surprised.

Cleveland would say no to that because 1 year of Kevin Love isn't worth all of that.

I do.

By Kevin Love saying he won't re-up in Cleveland.

I'm loving it. Just wish we had a top 3 pick to get Parker or Wiggins then the QC would really be on fire with the name change and culture change. I hope we can somehow get either Smart or Napier for the backup point. If we can get a solid three and get rid of MKG life would be grande.

Minnesota would love it. Cleveland wouldn't. Love would be gone the next year and Bron isn't coming back.
