Official 2014 NBA Draft Thread (the race to the bottom)

[af.r.i.c.a.]

@Probballdraft: I've seen the reports that Cavs are concerned w/ Embiid's back, I'm skeptical. Dropping that intel weakens the value of the pick.

@Probballdraft: My sources say the Cavs doctors cleared Embiid. Only reason to leak intel is to try to get him to slip by the Bucks if Cavs swap w/ Philly.

@Probballdraft: Bucks have interest in Embiid if he's available at 2. If Cavs could scare them w/ leaked info & Embiid not meet w/ Bucks drs they could pass

Cav's leaking info to try to make sure he falls down to the Sixers. We need to just trade up right now. Thad and the 3rd for Varejao and the first.

I think the Cav's wants Embiid but they are milking that pick. I don't think the Bucks have Embiid on the top of their board. They have Sanders who has been a problem but that means they would have to trade him.

 

[af.r.i.c.a.]

Larry Sanders is as good as gone.. plus they have no low post scoring. Mil said Embid passed his physical with flying colors and he had a great work out with them about a week ago. I think Jabair is a the top of thier draft board with Embid next.. then Exum and Wiggins as a toss up.

 

[TheBossman]

Chad Ford tripping having Exum go 5.

I think the Bucks want him gone but will have a hard time trading him. Dude is owed like 11million for the next 4 years. I do think that they are going Jabari too. I just don't see them drafing Embiid without a deal in place for Sanders. Cav's are going to milk that top pick as they should.

If I had to guess.

1.Cavs Embid

2.Bucks Parker

3.Sixers Wiggjns

4.Magic Exum

5.Jazz Vonleh

6.Celtics Smart

7.Lakers Randle

8. Kings Gordon

9.Hornets McDermott

10.Sixers Harris

11.Nugs Lavine

12.Magic Saric

13.Wolves Lavine

14.Suns J.Young

 

[TheBossman]

Question for all the posters in here.

What player you Don't want your team to draft?

I don't want saric, he's not athletic and looks soft (nh).

 

[Max.]

Kings i dont want

Julius randle(dont like 6'8 pfs)

Vonleh(heard hes out of shape so its 50/50)

Rodney hood ( god no)

dario(he might be soft nh)

Mcdermott(idk how his game will translate/position)

I want marcus smart..aaron gordon(athletic freak nh)..zach lavine(gamble)

Im also hearing they mighy tradr ben n 8th pic to milw for larry sanders and brandon knight..aint feeling that either

 

[thagame]

Sixers

10th pick: I don't want Saric because I am not sure when he will come over. I don't know if the Sixers want to be stashing players for development in Europe with this high of a pick.

I don't want McDermott at 10, I think his shooting translates but he will have to play the SF and not do the best there on defense. So I say a better Kyle Korver or better Wally Szerbiak. I wouldn't be mad If we got him later though by trading down getting two picks. I see him as a good rotational player hired shooter though.

 

[Vader_F_Kennedy]

Cavs I don't want embiid his physical health concerns me I know hechas achigh ceiling but I don't wanna get stuck with a oden

 

[af.r.i.c.a.]

I want one if the "big 3" to fall to us at 4. Preferably Jabari but that's a long shot. I'll take Exum or Smart with the 4th pick and I can see us trading up using Afflalo + 12th pick to grab either Randle/Vonleh/Gordon/McDermott. Don't want Saric but If we stay at 12 I can see him being the pick.

I agree with most of these picks especially the top 5 but isn't Gordon damn near a lock to go to Boston?

That's what all of the reports have been... which makes me think it's bullshit. I'm guessing they want someone to trade up with them. Where does he even fit on that roster? They have a shit load of forwards and with Rondo possibly leaving and Bradley a FA I think they go with a Guard. There really ain't too many legit Centers in this draft outside of Embid and a few international prospects. I can see them taking Vonleh if he falls.. he has the size to play some 5 but he's more of a natural 4.

 

[WhoisDonG???]

I'm telling people that will listen Cleveland is picking Greg Oden over Durant again in Jabari.

Maybe... But I seriously doubt Embid is as injury prone as Oden.
