    will it transform their team?

    An Evans-Harden Backcourt could be fun for them.

    I think they'll move up to #2 and try to land Rubio AND Thabeet.

    It depends If Memphis takes Thabeet I can see James Harden falling into Minny's lap.

    Draftexpress said their sources told them that OKC will "100% take Rubio if he's there at #3."

    Sacramento needs a PG and have brought in Johnny Flynn in for multiple workouts.

    A Stephen Curry/James Harden backcourt is an excellent duo to build around.

    So now they have 3 SF types..Butler, Miller and Jamison.

    I wonder if they'd be willing to trade Miller to us for Steve Blake. They really need a decent PG.

    The Lakers (Kobe & Fish) and the old Bulls (Jordan & any shooter) didn't look too bad with two combo guards.

    If Harden and Evans are available at 5 & 6 then that is who they will go with, if not (and I'd say the odds are pretty high 2-12 is going to be an unpredictable mess) then all bets are off and the only thing you can say is that they will try to draft a point guard.

    Well they would be looking for guys that can compliment Al Jefferson. I believe they picked up Thomas from the Wizards to fill the center void so that Al can move back to his natural position. So I don't think a center is in play. They moved Miller, and a combo guard, so they need a Guard and a SF. How about they go all Louiville and get

    Tyreke Evans and Terrence Williams.

    Northwest Division has been tearing up the lottery the last few years (assuming they keep the picks).

    You just called him a combo guard and are talking about replacing the players that were traded. Foye played at SG quite a bit last year, given Telfair started 40+ games, and Kevin Ollie started in 20 games.

    No, try reading again. I said they traded away a combo guard. I said they needed a guard (calling it generally a guard) and a small forward. Read again, take your time. :crazy:
