    What moves that your favorite team could make on draft day would you hate to see happen? Trading up, down or out of the first round? A player you don't like or a position you see no need for? What would be your worst case?

    By the way, don't throw anything heavy enough to break your TV, those CRTs are bad news.

    Probably the Chicago Bulls trading Kirk Hinrich and other players in a deal to Miami with the first pick that would have the Bulls receive Dwayne Wade and the second pick in return.

    If I saw Rosie O Donald I`d start throwing crumpled up balls of paper at the TV.

    If I understand this correctly, Hinrich +filler + #1 overall pick for Wade + #2 overall?

    The question is what terrible things could happen to make you throw stuff at your TV. So, are you throwing stuff at your TV in exitement or do you seriously have an incredible hatred for Wade? lol

    The Nets drafting Robin Lopez 10, or passing on CDR at 21 for anyone not named Hickson, Hibbert

    I start with trading Martell Webster in general, and trading him to get high enough to get Joe Alexander in particular. I'm not against trading one Webster or Outlaw, and I think we'll have to if we pick a SF, unless we take Batum and let James Jones opt out and keep Batum in the NBDL or overseas. I don't have a problem with picking a SF either. Or even Joe Alexander. My biggest thing is that I don't want the SF we keep to duplicate the SF we trade for, and most of the SFs I could see us trading for, Alexander in particular, duplicate Outlaw much more than Webster IMO, so I'd rather trade Outlaw to get them.

    I'd also hate to trade Rodriguez or Koponen.

    lol " GMJigga`s signature quote. It would be great if Bill Simmons followed through on that if Lebron did go to NJ.

    The Raptors making a trade for Jermaine O'Neal that includes the 17th overall pick (the way its currently being rumoured).

    Brandon Rush being selected by Phoenix. I know he'll probably get selected before our spot, but if its that close I'll be pissed at all the anticipation.

    lmao

    Seriously though, considering that Wade can't play a full season I'm not interested in having him. Plus I believe that "filler" would likely be another starter to make up for Wade's wages.

    Are those actually rumored? Both would be horrible.

    + the Nets drafting any Lopez. Or the Nets taking a useless big...when we could've gotten Hickson or Hibbert.

    Or, the Nets passing on Bayless and Westbrook, when they're still on the board. I would only throw one thing if it was Gallinari.

    No, but those scenarios would be bad....if I hear the words "Traded Dwight Howard" the rest of the sentence better be "for Lebron James"

    Any deal that would have Minnesota passing on Mayo at #3 to move down and get Lopez or Love!!!

    Just take the talented Mayo and package their 2nd round picks to move up and get a big man.

    I was wondering the same thing. One of the greatest players in the game for basically Hinrich (since swapping the #1 and 2 is a wash at this point)? C'mon. That'd only go down in Bulls fans' wet dreams.

    Trading Gerald Wallace.

    Or passing up JJ Hickson with our 2nd 1st round pick or 2nd round pick.

    Passing on Mayo or Beasley, depending on who we can get.

    Robin Lopez anywhere. Joey Dorsey anywhere. Kevin Love if we traded up. Skipping Jordan at 21.

    Read my reply first? It helps to do so. ;-)

    Anyway, would it even be possible to get Wade without giving up another player with the quality of Deng or Gordon along with Hinrich? That's my concern, so I don't get the big issue to begin with my opinion of the possible scenario.

    I'm just not interested in giving up Hinrich, my favorite player, along with another quality player like Deng or Gordon for Dwayne Wade when we can just draft Derrick Rose with our first pick.
