    Yeah I really hope we trade down. Royce White and Arnett Moultrie are at the top of the list.

    More reason I don't think a trade with Washington would happen; only one first round pick. Cleveland is the obvious trading partner, as we all know.

    Cleveland, Houston, Portland, Boston, Golden State, and New Orleans all have two first round picks, but only Cleveland allows us to stay in the top five, with Portland having the next highest pick at six. I would imagine Portland and Cleveland would be the only teams we would seriously be able to make a deal with unless a third team gets involved.

    IF We can trade to Cleveland and still get T Rob I will be 100% satisfied with the draft. If we stay put and take T Rob I'll be 90% satisfied, either way it's pretty win win for me as long as T Rob is a bobcat

    If they want to move up bad enough they can add a unprotected 1st another year.

    I really like T-Rob an ideally if we can trade back and still land him then I'm all for a trade, but Washington is the wildcard here. If We take Beal off the board for Cleveland and Washington takes T-Rob, who do we go with then? Honestly I'm not high on Beal, for NBA play I think Harrison Barnes will be the better player, but then what do we do at 24? No way we double dip at SF with Barnes and Royce White or Draymond Green...do you go Fab Melo there and move Biyombo to PF? So many ifs and whats about the NBA draft that makes it a bit scary, but ole so exciting.

    If we stay at #2, #31 - PF Thomas Robinson, SG John Jenkins
    If we trade w/ Cleveland #4, #24, #31 - PF Thomas Robinson, SF Royce White, SG John Jenkins
    If we trade w/ Cleveland & Robinson is gone - SF Harrison Barnes, C Fab Melo, SG John Jenkins

    I obviously like Robinson and Jenkins...not sure if Jenkins is ever a starter on a team due to his defense, but I think the kid could be a great spark off a bench as a 6 or 7th guy in the rotation. Kim English from Mizzou is the same way...Overall I'd love to land Robinson and still get the trade with Cleveland to land Royce White and Jenkins...if not I'm praying one of them is there at 31

    I don't read that as being an advocate but more of "yes, it is a consideration".
    He said the option of trading down "is on the board."
    "I think anybody in our situation would have that on the board," Dunlap said. "(Our) people are very smart up top. So options and thinking of your variables is a very smart thing to do."
    Which is the way it should be.

    Unless we get blown away with a trade offer, I still want Bradley Beal as a Bobcat.
