Trade completed

[Proudiddy]

This is a great move. I've been checking all the rumors websites and local papers throughout the last two days whenever I get a chance... I'm really hoping that we use these to move up and take Beasley or Mayo. If we took one of those guys (plus our 2nd rounder for whatever position we didn't address with the first pick - PG or C/PF), we're automatic in the playoffs. I think this is the best case scenario because Beasley or Mayo will also tremendously help us with ticket sales and national exposure, that's why I'm truly hoping to get one of those guys!!! If that doesn't pan out, although I'm hoping it does, then we couldn't do too bad with a guard at 9 and Hibbert at 20, plus our secound rounder. Man I hope we move up though!!! Higgins is the man!

draft day and the trade deadline. my two favorite days in the nba. I cant wait!

btw I think we are holding it for hibbert

Holy sh!t we better use this to move up.

I'd rather have 2 players than one. I know Beasley is a good ball player, but we could end up with Love, and batum. Acording to www.nbadraft.net they have us getting Love at 9, I don't think he's available then but if he is we take him. Batum is a pure shooter and an excellent defender and is projected to go like 24. I'd rather have that pair and a pair of others than I would beasley. We don't just need 1 peice of the puzzle we need the whole puzzle! Not to mention the trades that would open up with personel now. We could trade crash, Ammo, the list just goes on. I really hope we don't trade two picks for 1, Beasley is not Howard, or Jordan. He's gonna be great but not somebody that is a regular on the all star team and is able to carry us to a champion ship.

I think it would take more than 9 and 20 to move up to 2. I bet it would take crash and both picks with miami throwing in some salary fodder (maybe J-Will?) to make up crash's salary for Riley to go for it, and he would want alot.

It's giving up a lot, but I am inclined to say roll the dice, Beasley is potentially a once in a generation player who could command the double teams from the post (even if he is only 6-7), but quality trumps quantity in the nba.

Yeah I would for sure take Love before Beasley. No I am serious. We need BIG. Love is 6'10"....Beasley is 6'7". Shoot, Adam is bigger!

That 1 piece added to a core of Felton, J-Rich and Okafor would get us to the playoffs and make us a top seed too.

Ammofan I'm taking from that comment you didn't watch much K-State Basketball this past season.

thats a joke right? Its not all about size. Charles Barkley, 6'4 one of the best rebounders ever and played his position extremely well. Beasley has size and a big body, he is athletic. Love is so so on athleticism, Adam is flat out terrible. Not to mention adam is a stick.

i would trade 9 & 20 + morrison (or another of our tradable players) for #2 (only if we pick beasley) but nothing more....i would not add crash or ray or okafor or jrich (of course)

i think beasley could be the next elton brand (add a jump shot)...that would be something we need..we are severely lacking on offense, especially in the paint...so i would jump for joy if we got beasley..

one great player is way better than even two good players..i dont like giving up first round draft picks...but if we can box the picks up for beasley...i am all for it...i like Ajinca but i think he has played his way above the 20th pick
