Last year for example, it was widely reported that the Spurs where willing to trade T.Parker for a high lottery pick.
And yet he remains a Spur It was widely reported that Rondo was readily available this year, and yet he is still a Celtic
Shit, I'm hoping all the GM's drafting before us are HIGH so that he drops to us. I've been saying all along that Drummond was the player I want out of this draft.
For the record, that draft wouldn't be too shabby. I'd be happy with Drummond at #6 (we won't be drafting at 6, but I'll dream for once), and 1 of the several players that that mock has as available at #11.
I could see Drummond at #4. But no way he slides any further IMO. AD will go #1. I could see MKG and Beal being drafted ahead of Drummond, depending on the day, how the Top-3 works out in terms of draft order, etc.
I could see Drummond sliding if he comes across passive in workouts. If he shows a lack of interest in the game, he could drop. Doubtful, but possible. Also, if Harrison Barnes and Beal both look like stars in their workouts . . .
I don't know? Being passive and showing a lack of interest for the game still made Greg Oden a number one pick
