    Or Robinson? Maybe even move up from there to 2?

    possibly...

    I think SF makes more sense though, they could move Batum to SG...

    I think talent makes more sense. If Robinson is tier 2 and MKG and Barnes are 3, then go get him

    Bobcats are itching to get down to 4, so if you get to 4 then getting to 2 should be relatively easy.

    if this stuff is true I do wonder who we are really after, I am not convinced it's Trob, could just as easily be Beal, going up to #4 for Lillard seems unlikely but who knows? Nice job on the confusion Neal!!!

    I wish I could see something interesting in Barnes. I just don't.

    How does the pizza juggler feel about Barnes?

    If you guys really want to hear an interesting take on Barnes, Dave Telep was on the NBAToday podcast with Chad Ford on ESPN.com After listening it made me reconsider him a little bit. Telep seems to think that Barnes has always seen himself on a track for the pros (and worked on his game from that perspective) and that the college game didn't really fit him (and made Barnes more robotic and less instinctive).

    I listened to this as well, and i conclude that if we take Lillard with a chance to take Barnes, we would be making a mistake

    He is also freakishly intelligent. Which some scouts believing made him less instinctive as well

    Maybe ... and I'm not suggesting that I'm completely sold on Barnes just because I posted that story and link, but it did make me pause.
