    Specifically, what are the chances we trade up to #1? Is it worth the cost?

    I'm thinking both our lotto picks obviously, provided NJ isn't top 3. Then something like Wes and Eliot or even Batum?

    I think, and a lot of people agree, that Anthony Davis will be a star.

    Pull off that trade, sign Deron Williams...

    Is there enough left over to field a well-rounded squad?

    I'm curious what you all think.

    No one is going to trade the #1 pick to us.

    The only way we get that pick is by lucking out (again) in the lotto or trading LaMarcus.

    A team would have to really really love two prospects we could draft with our picks and love either babbit or ewill. So unless your the bobcats its not happening.

    I cant see a team in full rebuild trading the #1 for lma. Would need to be a team that thinks lma makes them contenders which I dont see any team in the lottery thinking that.

    It's possible, if John Nash gets a GM job somewhere before the draft.

    We deserve the number one pick after all we've been through.

    I agree, and I do think if we end up in the 9th spot we win the lottery. Dunno why I just feel it.

    We got the #1 pick when we didn't deserve it and we fucked that up.

    I definitely think we'll aggressively shop Wes at the draft, but can't imagine he and 2 "less than" picks will snag us the #1...
