Interesting. Not sure we need to move up for them, but interesting none the less

The heat were looking at Bayless too! Maybe we go to #5 to get Bayless and then trade with Miami for Beasley??!!!!

i dont like the sounds of this. taking Kevin Love at 9 kind of lessens any bust potential he might have. Trading 2 first round picks or players to move up to 5 puts all that bust potential right back on him.


I get the feeling that if this is true we will trade the #9 and a player (probably Ammo) for the 5 and keep the 20 and 38. or package those two and move back up higher.

The only way I would be ok with moving up the the #5 would be if this happend:

We trade #9 and McMay to the Grizzlies for the #5 and Cardinal.

Then at #5 we draft Bayless.

Then we trade Bayless, Ammo and the #20 to the Heat for Beasley.

Pretty much agreed. I'll take the 5th, but only as a stepping stone to the top 3.

agreed with you all...i rather not trade up just to guarantee love or westbrook...bayless is great though, but idk...i'd rather not trade up just for him if we need to trade our 20...

only for beasley in the end IMO

I sure don't want to trade 9 and extras to get to 5 and draft Westbrook. He will be a bench guy. I just can't see why the Cats would do that. They need a starting PF who can score, either Beasley(I wish) or Love(I think he will be really good).

let me dream! please! go get beasley!

[Dead_Real]

I love Slams idea but I'm wondering if we did move up would it just be a pick switch with 9 going to Memphis and us getting the 5 pick and we keep 20 and 38 I'd take Bayless at 5 and than Big Roy at 20.

If this team takes Westbrook or Love they can rot in hell.
