I would hate to lose both Landry and Brooks in the deal, leaving us with Kyle Lowry as our sole PG. And it might give us the most injury prone frontcourt in the league with Amare and Yao. Yet the possibility of this trade excites me for some reason. Ah well, in Daryl Morey I trust...

Local Phoenix radio just said there's no interest from the Phoenix side in the Houston deal and that it's completely false. They did say there's some interest in a Golden State deal that would involve Biedrins, #7 and one other player (Belinelli or Wright).

They also just said this rumor - Suns move Ben Wallace's expiring contract + picks/cash to New orleans for Tyson Chandler. Sounds like Wallace will do a buyout - which would save the Hornets $3-4 million this season and over $13 million next season. Chandler would be a better fit in the Suns uptempo offense than Shaq.
Not sure I buy it, but it is interesting. Last edited by Arles : 06-25-2009 at 05:33 PM. |

Draftexpress says that the trade of Sergio Rodriguez to Sacramento from Portland is done. Does it mean they want an Spanish there to help Rubio to adapt to the NBA quicker?

Now there´s reports of both Wright and Belinelli in adition to Beans and the 7th pick, which would actually be good value all things considered Hope Nash stays. If nothing else we´d get 1 or possibly 2 more years (pending on how his body keeps up) of vintage 7 seconds or less. And Wright and Biedrins better be prepared to get a lot of Pick and Roll passes all of a sudden, which both could be pretty good at from what i k now. Plus the 7 might end up being Curry. Seriously, this team would really intrigue me. And at 14 maybe Terrence Williams or Earl Clark ? Plus Belinelli isn´t bad either, could end up being a solid 20 minute guy on a good team. definitely an interesting idea Quote:
doubt it. Rodriguez wants to play, can´t see him going into veteran-mode and be a assistant coach in uniform ... I mean, Udrih is still there as well. But maybe Udrih will be traded ? (doubt it though, is overpaid and just not close to starting material. His per-minute production is highly subpar ... ) Doesn´t mean they won´t draft a PG (Evans, Flynn), just that i can´t see them trading for Rodriguez because they want to take (and keep) Rubio. Rubio might actually fall to the Wolves, who then could snatch him AND another player at 6 without doing another trade. btw via draftexpress : Quote:
those last 2 days have been crazy Rubio could also go at 3, Presti apparently didn´t give any indicationa dn they did hire a law firm in spain. But who knows, right now it´s wild guessing all arround Last edited by whomario : 06-25-2009 at 06:45 PM. |

Ouch, things look bad for Rubio, even if he is picked at #5, his contract won't be enough profitable to pay his release clause, so he might decide to stay in Spain.

no big surprise yet,
1)Griffin 2)Thabeet (what happens to Gasol ? Neither can move to the 4 spot, Gasol is a starter) 3)Harden (makes sense, they needed a 2 guard) 4)Evans (makes sense again, he´s gonna be good right away and fits next to Martin who doesn´t need the ball terribly much to score a ton) Now the Wolves. Definitely gonna be a good and intriguing duo here at 5,6 for them. Rubio should be a lock for them to take, can´t pass on him with 2 picks here. Then Curry makes most sense ... Or they draft big and take Hill. |

Finally.
Not a bad thing as it's a team rebuilding from zero with all those picks, so he could be the starter and have a ton of minutes. He said he didn't like the city weather but... anyway let's see what happens with his contract buyout. On the other hand, i'm so happy about Sergio Rodriguez going to Sacramento, as he had no future in Portland. Let's see if he can finally show why he was for some time the most promising Spanish player.

What the ... ? Now this is a combination of picks that makes no sense at all if they don´t trade one of them ?
Not only do they take 2 PGs but also 2 PGs that lack a good outside shot so playing both together would be kind of a bad idea... Last edited by whomario : 06-25-2009 at 07:12 PM. |

NICE! Well, Don Nelson won't require him to play defense either so he is in good shape

Hill is the 3rd best player in the draft IMO, and the Knicks have him fall to their laps. If they pass on him, oh boy.

That's a nice pick. Knicks fans are morons.
It is unreal how many busts there are in the NBA draft. When ESPN shows the first round picks from the last 5 years, it's like a who's who of crappy players and unheard of again Euro's. No wonder so many of these teams are picking high every year. |

I think DeRozan could be a poor man's DWade, but he will need a lot of time to develop. He really didn't perform for SC at all until the last month of the season, and that was against college level defenders.

Hollinger's draft rater has Jordan Hill and DeRozan as the two biggest busts in this draft. It rated Hill in the mid-20s, so not too huge of a bust but still a disappointment. It has DeRozan rated 54th, though.
It'll be interesting to see how they do. |

Detroit should take Maynor 15 if he is available but they'll take Mullens. So yeah, I am ready for a wasted pick.

Don't congratulate the Knicks too much for that pick. Somehow, Hill is going to Minnesota for Rubio, probably with David Lee once the Knicks can sign him.

Troy Mruphy, Mike Dunleavy........was there any doubt that Hansbrough would be the pick there?

There was mention locally that the Pacers were looking to trade for later picks with Chicago. I really hope that's what this is.
