SEA trades #4 to LAC for #7 pick

[Proudiddy]

Not sure about the particulars involved, but just saw it on the ESPN ticker.

i think it's SEA #4 for LAC #7 and LAC's 2009 first round pick

[Dead_Real]

On the ESPN predraft special they were saying how bad the Sonics want a big man I think Brook Lopez could be there pick and LAC could go a few directions Gordon, Westbrook or Bayless I say they might lean towards R.W. because of his Cali ties.

It looks like a good chance that Bayless or Gordon could actually fall to us tonight.

would you guys take gordon with the #9 pick? what if love is still available?

If we picked gordon, i think I would want to trade Matt Carroll....idk though

[ohara831]

Gordon or Bayless would be a great asset. Can play the back up PG and be a hell of a SG also. Doing that could mean a trade of Crash for a PF tho. Depends.

I'd take Love over Gordon. Gordon would be a lesser JRich for a while unless he really could handle the 1, which I'm not convinced of.

Bayless I might take over Love. We just need Love or a player like him so badly, that I just don't think we can let him go if he's there.

Two big deals have just gone down in the past few minutes that could change the face of the draft.



The Clippers and Sonics have agreed to swap picks as long as the Wolves take O.J. Mayo at No. 3. If Mayo isn't drafted at 3, the deal is off according to two sources close to the information.



With the No. 4 pick, expect the Clippers to take Eric Gordon of Indiana. They've coveted him as the type of dominant scorer they've been looking for.



The Sonics will take Brook Lopez or Jerryd Bayless at No. 7. However it seems Lopez will be the guy.

I'm glad there are other teams that are grabbing Lopez and potentially passing up on Bayless, love, or others that we're aiming for. As it stands here's the potential draft

1. Chicago - Rose
2. Miami - Mayo
3. Charlotte - Beasley
4. Clippers - Gordon
5. Memphis - Love
6. Knicks - Westbrook
7. Seattle - Lopez
8. Milwaukee - Bayless
9. Minnesota - Danilo Gallinari

How the crap did we end up 3. I wish. Its more realistic to leave us at 9, and that leaves "us" going with Augustine. Hell, I'd rather draft Galleleo than Augustine. I can see Felton regressing further right now. If Brown wants Augustine you can bet he will end up starting and that leaves Felton playing SG again.

I don't have a clue why LAC would trade up to 4. They can't think Mayo will still be there, can they? Plus, it's been established 4 is too high for RW, so I just don't understand this one at all. I sure hope they take Lopez at 7, but I haven't a clue what the hell any of these teams are thinking. This was just a really strange trade though. (No special emphasis on this last comment, the italics just won't go away..)

Clippers are hoping Mayo drops. BUT, they also would love Eric Gordon. so either way they want the 4 spot.

WOW!!! Gordon at 4 now!?!?! This is without doubt, the most chaotic, worldturnedupsidedown draft in HISTORY, in ANY SPORT! Damn, it's fun though.

[Mustachio]

it really has been the craziest draft i've seen in quite a while. the chat might need to be opened early so we can discuss all this craziness.

[Slam]

It reminds me of the 2006 draft when no one knew what the hell was going on leading up to draft night - except this one has more talent in it.

Remember all the drat night trades that night? I'm expecting the same tonight.
