J-Rich is a free agent so they could start Hinrich and Arenas like Chicago did with Kirk and Gordon. Then again Gilbert could always still bite the amnesty bullet.

Psych, the Laker buffoons on PSD are talking about trading Bynum to Minny for the #2, which they can do with the Al Jefferson trade exception. And some of them support it, because, they'd save cap room SO THEY CAN GET DWIGHT. I guess Dwight could fit under the Lakers cap as a UFA if he accepts a Negative $20 million salary.

I don't get tha. I get thinking you can flip the 2 and Pau for Dwight, deron, or Chris if you have a deal prearranged though secretly

Seems like L.A are dead set on that number 2 pick one way or another I guess in hopes they get Williams even though I'll be surprised if Cleveland passes on him.

Rumored trade:

Orlando gets Josh Smith, Kirk Hinrich
Hawks get Andre Miller, Marcus Camby, Ryan Anderson, Chris Duhon
Blazer get Jameer Nelson & Daniel Orton

Salaries don't match so it's not happening, but I'd love if it did.

Don't really know nothing about Daniel Orton but Blazers do get a good young point guard if he stays healthy. But yeah obviously will be altered but I see Orlando getting Smith.

Actually, Orlando has Gortat's TPE and Atlanta has Childress and Jordan Crawford's, so it's possible.

Suns pres straight up saying they aren't moving Nash period please me be kind of interesting that they apparently view Gortat as an untouchable, but glad for that as well as I really am glad they got the center they been wanting for a while.

Apparently the Suns are in talks w/ GS to trade Lopez to 'em for the 11th pick and Ekpe Udoh. Pretty good trade for Phoenix if it goes through, because Lopez is garbage.

Please make that happen. Surprised GSW would give up that much for Robin who the Suns really don't need anymore. Was the starter and got lucky to play like 12 minutes a game when Gortat started playing great. I think Phoenix is trying to find a way to get to the number 2 pick without giving up Nash to keep Williams in AZ.

I don't see how they get that pick without giving up Gortat, which I don't think is worth it.

Only way I could see it without doing that would be to trade both 1st rounders (if they got that 11th pick) for that pick. Even then probably not worth it as I still say Williams goes number 1 overall.

The Cavs have reportedly already settled on Kyrie with the #1 pick.

As for the draft, I don't know why, but I'm somewhat anxious about it. The Magic don't even have a 1st round pick.

All reported locally but supposedly the bucks are trading there 10th pick for the Rockets 2 first round picks if the player the Rockets wants is there at 10. Also they where trying to shop Bogut for the 2nd pick, but I think that fell through. Prob just end up continuing the trend of shit drafts and keep there pick and have some garbage player I've never heard of come in.

Didn't know Cleveland already made up their mind. Guess Williams is a shoe in for the 2nd pick then.

Seems like everyone wants that 2nd pick surprised the Bucks were even shopping Bogut tho.
