    I think Karasev goes to MN or DAL.

    DAL. That way they don't have to unload the pick but still clear up cap space. Min is taking Caldwell-Pope.

    So it's no different from any other NBA draft.

    Called it, but not surprised at all.

    I was up for an Adams (10th pick) / McCollum (trading for DAL's 13th) draft over 2 months ago and now both guys seem likely to be picked before us.

    Fun fact: Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, AKA "last year's Oladipo" is actually a year and 4 months younger than Oladipo.

    Man, I wish either of them could shoot worth a damn.

    Lillard/Oladipo/MKG/Aldridge/Some defensive center would be a great defensive team, with the right coaching. Lillard has made it clear he wants to become a strong defender. Spacing would be horrific, unless Oladipo's shot really did improve as much as it appeared in college, but I'm not sold on that.

    Ok guys, if we draft Adams and keep him and then bring in a vet big to start, then do we keep Meyers as well? if we trade Mayers what kind of value would he have?

    Nevermind, now everyone's saying the MKG thing is bogus.

    Hmm could it possible. Trade Batum to Wizards for 3, Trade 10/Leonard/Greek guy to Bobcats for MKG. Doubt either team takes either trade but it could happen.

    OT - Am I the only bummed out that the NBA hasn't invited Shabazz Muhammad to the Green Room?

    Not that I'm a fan, but there's got to be at least one guy in the Green Room with a big ego that you get to watch sit there all uncomfortably while random Euro's get picked over him.

    Out of the current group, who do ya'll see waiting the longest?

    Nerlens Noel (Kentucky); Victor Oladipo (Indiana); Otto Porter (Georgetown); Alex Len (Maryland); Anthony Bennett (UNLV); Ben McLemore (Kansas); Trey Burke (Michigan); Michael Carter-Williams (Syracuse); C.J. McCollum (Lehigh) and Cody Zeller (Indiana), as well as Steven Adams (Pittsburgh), Kentavious Caldwell-Pope (Georgia) and Sergey Karasev (Russia).

    The money has got to be on either Adams or Karasev for a slide, but they'll probably take it better than if McLemore falls from a potential #1 to the #6-10 range. I can see that dude getting really upset, still sitting around after five picks.

    I'm usually not a fan of schadenfreude, but I love it on draft night...

    I've always loved watching the huge egos sit and wait as well.

    I'd think Karasev will be the last taken of that group, but I think there's a decent chance that MCW could slide too.

    Kantavious Caldwell-Pope thinks he will go to Minnesota at 9 if he's there (I do too). Also went to Port, Cleve, Bos, Dallas and Milwaukee.
