If we trade our draft pick this year...

[swetooth9]

who do you guys think is available for trade from other teams that we could get with this draft pick and maybe someone from our roster?

just curious since LB likes the veterans

I think we need to wait a few weeks to discuss this issue. We have to wait and see where the ping pong balls drop on 5/20. If we somehow lucked into the 1st or 2nd pick, I dont trade it. Beasley and Rose are going to be exceptional and they will have a major role in the future success of this team. If we pick 8th or later, then it is something to discuss. But without knowing where we pick, you cannot know the value of our pick.

Definitely worth discussing once the balls drop.

funny.

but really, what ohara said, it is too premature to speculate on that, lets see what happens in the draft lottery, also see what happens in the playoffs and if someone is looking to deal after not going as far as they thought they would.

Oops! That was not intentional, but I see what you're saying there MattD! That was an unintentional funny.

just in the interest of the thread ill play along.

IF we get the 8th pick....

what about sending Okafor and our first for Brand and the clips second rounder?

Ray Rich Wallace Brand Nazr sounds pretty damn good to me.

They have Kaman locked up for the next 4 years at an average of 10.5 +/-, and if you do a "compare" on NBA.com you'd have to figure they'd never do that trade. I'd love to have Brand tho.

I still have the Odom/filler for Crash/use the 8th to draft a SG (Westbrook maybe?) and the 8th/filler for POR's 13th/Frye/Jack.

Rather keep Crash but Odom would fill the PF hole a LOT better than Frye would. Between the two I think that one would make the team better overall.

I agree about the practical role of a player like Odom over Wallace. What I really like about the trade is that it's an actual all-star caliber player who's relatively well known, unlike many of the suggest trades where send Wallace for guys like David Lee, who while interesting and effective players, aren't on Wallace's level.

Balls dropping. Premature.

What the hell has this board turned into ??

I blame Larry Brown!!



If we do trade our pick, I just hope we get bang for our buck. I don't expect a "Swish" type level deal, but I would like a starting PF (the Portland deal is the best for us IMO) or a "two 1st round picks for one type deal" at the very least.

You blame Brown watch it ,SLAM
I for one would have to jump all over the Portland deal if we got any thing below a number five pick. Frye and Jack come on people..............
