<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">One juicy draft rumor involves the Magic, who hold the No. 1 pick. It goes something like this: The Clippers trade their No.2 pick for the Hawks' No. 6 and 17 picks, putting Atlanta in position to take Atlanta phenom Dwight Howard... Atlanta then must deliver the Clippers the player they want and persuade Orlando to not take Howard. To do that, the Hawks add a sweetener to the deal (future pick, salary dump) and the Magic take Emeka Okafor.</div> Source Not bad, but would if we take Dwight?
Hell yea, I'd do that. If I were the Magic I'd bluff that I wanted Howard bad. Maybe we can get a draft pick or a veteran player to ensure we don't take Howard eventhough we were going to take Okafor anyways. Looking at their roster nobody on their entices me. Maybe either Pryzbilla or C.Crawford. BTW-YO those wanting Terry. Not gonna happen. :thumbsdow

Not gonna happen. :thumbsdow</div> Actually I'm happier with this deal than getting Terry, less money, and like said, Terry isn't that great anyways. At 6th it would be Livingston or Gordon, whichever is available at the 6th pick, but I'm hoping it's Livingston. We could have one tall backcourt, Shaun Livingston at Point, and at #17 the Clippers could pick one of the available SG's. I'm expecting Monya to go to the Jazz, and Snyder to Portland, but these are the possbilities: Monya-Snyder-Kevin Martin-Luke Jackson-Dorell Wright. Kevin Martin and Wright really shouldn't go that high, but the Clips could just draft the best player available, and then try to swing a trade for one of those guys.
The sweetener seems nice at first but the only player that is above extreme suckiness on the Hawks is Jason Terry. But if the Magic have their mind made up on Okafor, they might as well get some more players or picks...
