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

[thagame]

Embiid messed around and pissed on the Sixers draft. Sixers are in the worse spot right about now. I have no clue what they do now. I hope they are able to move up to like 7

Yup, and they still might draft him anyway.

I just heard that the Cav's are bringing in Exum to workout after the Embiid foot fracture. So maybe a chance they are looking to trade down. As long as it is us they are trading with and we don't give up the 10th I am ok with that. I don't see how Embiid falls past 6.

 

[thagame]

I wonder if the Cavs would be interested in trading back for Exum. I would give up both the 4th and 12th pick for the 1st. Hell I would even throw in Moe Harkless if they gave us Verejao or Tristan.

I think the Cav's are interested in trading down it is either the Magic or Sixers

The basketball gods frown upon blatant tanking

Lol yo fuck that this is how you win when you have no shot at getting a max player. You have to build through the draft but the front end

Yea Chad Ford was in ESPN today talking about Utah Orlando and Philly all making plays for the Cavs pick. Apparently the Jazz are offering Favors + 5th pick Sixers offering 3 + Thad but are reluctant to throw in the 10th pick and Orlando offered 4 + 12. No bias I think we have the best offer unless the Sixers come up off that second pick. I think I heard him say the Bucks pick could be in play if Jabari goes 1st.. I'm guessing they would trade down and take Exum or Embid.

The Magic offering up the 4th and 12th damn yall wild but I guess that is why you acquire the assets. I hope that they don't want that. I guess yall want Wiggins too. I am hoping Utah makes that deal for Parker maybe Sixers get a pick switch with the Bucks

Lakers want carter William and one other player I forgot

 

[zerocool]

Steve Nash And The Seventh Pick For Sixers' Michael Carter-Williams And Thaddeus Young?

 

[TheBossman]

I have no clue why they wanna trade mcw so badly. .....

 

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

Steve Nash And The Seventh Pick For Sixers' Michael Carter-Williams And Thaddeus Young?

Y'all not getting both. Maybe Thad and the 10th pick or MCW and a 2nd round pick.

most likely mcw, i cant see the lakers giving us the 7th pick for just thad and a second rounder.

 

[newOldSchool]

7 and Nash for MCW and 10. Nash can be a d fish type of player in a role where he is not asked to be a lead guard. Can mentor exum. Works for sixers. They can grab exum and Embid. Lakers can end up with MCW and a shooter.

not happening... That trade is extremely one sided

 

[MarcusGarvey]

I'm interested to see how much MCW improves in his 2nd year. Last year he was on a bad team, playing at a fast pace, shooting low percentages. I really don't know if he's as good as people make him out to be. But if steals are an indicator as the stat heads tell me then maybe he is?

 

[MarcusGarvey]

Jalen Rose says Cavs should still take Embiid 1.

Not me, if I'm Cavs I'm taking Wiggins and im working him into the ground (demanding extra shooting and video sessions) while he's on the rookie contract.
