    It was pointed out a few pages back that the #10 pick in next years draft is of the same worth as this years 1st pick.
    I agree with this and think Cleveland have been really unrealistic with their trade demands.

    The other thing is - the players going in the lottery tonight should count themselves real lucky to be being drafted this year. In a normal draft these guys would be going late lotto - late teens - and so by being in this particular draft have scored quite the raise in their paycheck.

    I hope Olshey keeps that in mind and we dont over-pursue talent that in any other draft would not be rated so high.

    Sacramento has been aggressive in trying to move up from seventh in the draft, league sources tell Y! Likely target: Ben McLemore.

    Reported earlier this week Sacramento was discussing Ben McLemore as an option and whether to pull the trigger. Still think they stay at 7.

    Bucks were 1 of few teams that DIDN'T attend Karasev's showcase in Vegas. But still saw him recently in Russia.

    Biggest riser in draft is S.Karasev. Lots of jockeying to get to 9 or 10 to grab him. We have Oladipo falling: sheridanhoops.com/2013/06/27/moc…

    Oladipo @ #8
    Adams @ #10

    I still think Dieng & Withey are going to be better than a lot of these "upside centers"...

    I am hearing strong indications that the Kings are trying to shake things up. It's going to be a wild afternoon.

    Think #Knicks not going to gamble on Mitchell-Ledo. Future is now. Hearing Glen Rice Jr. still in play

    NY was one of the main places people had Ledo linked to....

    .@UCFBiggie: what do you think the Magic do? Is it all depending on the Cavs?" Yeah, think they would take Noel if he's there. CLE may deal.

    I just don't see ORL passing on Noel if he is there....

    Magic Johnson said Victor Oladipo reminded him of Michael Jordan. Comparing their advanced stats: es.pn/10ZI2RT

    If the Kings are moving up, I would have to think it would be to target Victor Oladipo, who could go in top 2 picks. #nbakings

    Sam Amick@sam_amick1 minute ago
    Kings have had one conversation about moving up, with Phoenix at No. 5. As Yahoo! reported, they are indeed targeting Ben McLemore.


    lol @ the chaos...are they trying to move up? are they not? are they targeting Oladipo? McLemore? Someone else?

    Knicks remain enamored with German guard Dennis Schroeder at No. 24, but understand he'll likely never make it to them, sources tell Y!

    An NBA exec just told me he doesn't think Bucks need to move up if they want Karasev.

    In no order - Noel, Len, Bennett, Zeller, Porter, McLemore, Oladipo, Burke and McCollum don't have a tremendous amount of separation.

    That is 9...annnnd POR is sitting @ #10 KCP?

    Shane Larkin has attracted the interest of Utah (14) and Milwaukee (15), league sources say.

    Ken Berger@KBergCBS1 minute ago
    As Phoenix looks to move down and Sacramento up in the lottery, teams getting clear message from the Wizards: They're keeping their pick.

    If he's there then the feeling among league sources is Trey Burke is looking very strong at New Orleans at 6.

    League sources say Utah has interest in including Kanter if it can move up.
