    <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Billy King, Philadelphia 76ers president, said it's unlikely the team will use all four of their draft picks ? 12th, 21st, 30th, 38th, but added that he probably won't make a move until he's finished evaluating players. King could try to move up or package a pick or more in a trade. There's even a chance he could use a later pick on a European with the intention of keeping him overseas for the near future.</div>-YahooLooks like Billy King won't be using all of his picks. Hopefully if we move up, it will be in the top10/top8? Not any big news, just wanted to post it.

    I don't know if this is a good idea now. They're most likely gonna get all decent to good players with their picks. They need to load up with young talent. This is the best year to do it. On the other side, it would be nice if they could move into the top 10 and grab a nice big man to play alongside Dalembert and another franchise player to play alongside Iguodala.

    it would be nice to get higher in the draft but we do have the 12th pick which is pretty good

    I definetly wouldn't mind doing this. We'll have so many options here. I mean Yi or Conley could both be there aswell as Jeff Green who I would really like. I have a feeling we might take Hawes though if we do get that pick.

    Actually, I've been thinking about it and I wouldn't want to do this deal. If we stick with what we have we will still either get a great scorer for the future in Thornton, an amazing all around talent in Julian Wright, or it's even possible that a great prospect might fall to us like Jeff Green, Spencer Hawes, Yi Jianlian, etc. You never no. If that does happen we'll still have 2 other picks left in the 1st round so we will be able to afford passing on a great talent that might be at a position we don't need help at. With the other two picks we'll be able to fill needs and with this being such a deep draft we can easily get a solid player for the future with those late first rounders and even the 2nd rounder. I think we should just keep things the way they are unless we can get higher than 6(like the Hawks pick)

    Here's something to chew on: Boston brought in Nick Young for a workout today, for some reason.

I never really connected the dots though. I thought Ainge said he is gonna keep the pick though?
