That would be a fine draft I think. I'd be stoked if we got Leonard at #11. Not too sure about Waiters though.
Just give me someone who can fucking score the ball in crunch time. When I look at this draft I can see Beal, Lillard, and Waiters and Rivers with the potential.Big guys are useless in crunch time. And Although I like MKG I would pass on him for a scoring guard. I still like Lillard for the reason that at the point he will be matched up against PG's and very few PG's are decent defensively (Westbrook one of those exceptions) The other guys will be matched up against tougher players. That is why I want a scoring PG. They have the handles, the quickness, the ability to finish, and stop and pop. If Waiters can do it then fine , grab him. But I have decided I do not want a center at #6 or a PF or a SF. Get us a scoring guard!
Drummond continues to drop like a rock. Sounds like the Warriors will pass on him if he's there at #7 and could either trade down or take Zeller, their "immediate help" that Jerry West wants.
The only great player in discussion would be Harden; so I would only do this deal if we had assurance that OKC would trade us Harden for the pick.
The only other forum more active than here about draft day stuff might be here: http://bbs.clutchfans.net/forumdisplay.php?f=9 What a freakin maze.
I can't stomach that forum. They think they should get a top-5 pick for Kyle Lowry alone. Insulting and arrogant.
They know the Blazers have him as their #1 target. Neil has been talking to them for a while about trading up. But IMO it's the Cavs initiating these talks. You want Waiters? Ok, we like him too, but if you give us the #6/#11 the #4 is yours.
OK here's the situation FAMS! Going to sleep...... have to be in Eugene by 9AM and won't be back to my hotel room til 9PM. Will have the MacBook open in the truck....... twitter and S2. PLEASE and I mean PLEASE continue with the up to the minute updates. I mean it. You guys are my lifeline tomorrow as much as that pains me to type. Keep up the work FAMS! There might not be too many posts from THE HCP tomorrow, but I'll be there in spirit! #6- Lillard + #11-Lamb/Rivers = HCP happy
