CLE seems hellbent on pairing Barnes with Kyrie, so MKG will most definitely drop. Just curious what SAC will do.
Joe Freeman: One more #Blazers player has arrived to the gym: Luke Babbitt. Solid 2-on-2 possibility with Williams, Matthews, Johnson and Babbitt.

Probasketballdraft @Probballdraft Check out the updated Mock Draft. Round 1 - http://probasketballdraft.com/mock-draft.html & Round 2 - http://probasketballdraft.com/334-mock-draft-round-2.html with analysis for all picks. #NBADraft
Would S&T Batum to GS for #7 and Richard Jefferson a deal you would do? Would GS? Our team could look like this Lillard Matthews Jefferson Aldridge Drummond #11 Babbitt Smith Williams FA FA
Joe Freeman @BlazerFreeman Austin Rivers has worked out for #Blazers, Toronto, Washington and NO. Said he will leave for Cleveland on Thursday to do one more workout.
Not really, but it depends. If someone were to overspend on Batum and his price went to high, then yes, only to get the 7th pick. You could walk away with Drummond, Lillard and Lamb/Henson/Waiters/Leonard. But, I would rather have a reasonably resigned Batum. Even though he doesn't have the killer instinct I would like, Batum can guard anyone, hit the three very well, moves the ball well, and is a good team guy. If I were GS I would do it in a heartbeat because they get a proven young prospect without much mystery, but still with a lot of upside. And they rid of Jefferson.
Chad Ford @chadfordinsider Great info here. But add Waiters in mix RT @timkawakami: Here's what I've heard about the Warriors' draft inclinations: http://blogs.mercurynews.com/kawaka...zeller-and-the-current-most-likely-scenarios/
Jon Rothstein @JonRothstein Memphis' Will Barton could wind up just like Josh Howard in 2003. Great college player that wasn't taken til late in RD 1. Productive pro.
