    Turner for 11 would be a steal. He showed some nice moves in the playoffs against the Bulls and Celtics. If he were to get more touches, I think he could finally develop into a legit scoring threat.

    I just saw Barnes cancelled a workout with Sacramento. Top 4 promise? Or just doesn't want to go there?

    Coming out of college he did, not so much now.

    At the same age Roy was an All-Star who averaged 19/5/6 with a PER just under 20.

    Evans is nowhere near his level.

    He was about to sign with us anyway. I don't think we'd have a problem retaining him.

    I heard today on the radio that the Bobcats really like Barnes at 6. Haha, that would be awesome.

    Yeah, if were going to give out max money it needs to be to a guard.

    Which would be tough to do for a guy at the same position as our best player.

    Does this mean they've traded picks with us?

    I refuse to believe ANY of those players are actually available for the #11 pick.

    Honestly, Portland is in a great place to trade up if they want. It seems like several teams are interested in Barnes or Drummond, but don't want to take them high. 6 is a good pick for Barnes, so if you want him, why not trade with Portland and take him there, save some money. Move up!!!

    Evan Turner would be a great player for us to get.

    For some reason, I think a Robinson/Marshall draft could be great. Obviously you'd have to figure out a way to move from 6 to most likely 2, but for Robinson, I think it's worth it.

    POR may not have to move to #2, they might have to pay SAC to flip flop to #5.....

    That would be great for POR....

    That would be incredible. I have a really tough time seeing Robinson fall that far (I think he could be the best player out of this draft, and at worst will be an average starter), but stranger things have happened! Love this time of year.

    I would bet anything that the first four picks are already set in stone, and they are:
    Davis
    Robinson
    MKG
    Beal
    In that order. Those are clearly the best players, and there's a big drop off after that.

    Wouldn't surprise me of MJ reached for Barnes at #2.

    It's MJ....
