    Feeling among Adams camp is best chance is with Portland, Philadelphia, OKC or Utah. That's 10, 11, 12, 14.

    CJ McCollum very impressive. Told one of the three teams outside the top 10 trying to trade up for him (Utah, Phily, Port).

    Interesting talk/interview with Alex Len. He said he thinks Cleveland trying to trade down to take him, OKC trying to trade up. (Atl too).

    Here's my take on Noel v. Len, draft trades, McLemore and Muhammad on @SportsCenter today. http://espn.go.com/video/clip?id=espn:9425038

    On the BS Report @chadfordinsider projects an early run on Euros you can stash in Europe. This is how a surprise slides to the Jazz

    Cleveland is still shopping around and trying to pull off a trade, according to source. One source said Cavs are trying to "do a mega deal."

    . @CJMcCollum says his workout in Portland wasn't one of his best, says he could have shot the ball better. #RipCityDraft

    Cody Zeller said he and @PaulGAllen had a 10 minute conversation about Microsoft Excel

    OKC was trying to trade Perkins (one of the worst contracts in the NBA) to move up. Good luck with that.

    I really hope that Magic take Len #2 if the Cavs move down.

    Zeller pick would probably piss me off more than anything else they do.

    Ben McLemore was seen on Twitter wearing a @Suns hat. His explanation: "It matched my shirt" Mystery solved

    I wish OKC was farther back than us. I would love to take Lamb off their hands and then move back and take Dieng. I think that would be a great draft.

    Would you trade #10 to OKC for Lamb? Or do Pope and McC look better?

    Yeah I am not totally liking him either, according to Pelton's analytical comps (WARP)...his comps are Aldridge, Horford among others....I don't see it....I see a slightly better Nick Collison offensively...

    Yes, I really doubt OKC would do that though.....

    I'd rather take Pope or McC than trade the #10 to OKC. Both of those player have better basketball IQ. Lamb is one of those guys who looks lost most of the time on the floor to me.

    Thomas Robinson to Cavs for No. 19 pick. Thomas Robinson to Bulls for No. 20. Word is both of those scenarios are on table for Rockets

    Sam Amico@SamAmicoFSO1 minute ago
    Spurs, I'm told, still n running for Thomas Robinson as well. By this time Friday, he likely will no longer be a Rocket, man.

    The more I read, the more I fear we will be quiet and take Zeller, then blow our wad on a center. Middle of the road, here we come

    As I wrote today in the paper, I think the Magic still are considering trading the 2nd overall pick. Keep on eye on the T-Wolves.

    Josh Robbins@JoshuaBRobbinsnow
    Remember, though, that the Timberwolves are NOT considering offers for Kevin Love.
