    I know he said he didn't shoot well when he was in POR....

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

    Hearing Steve Novak might be the one guy the Knicks could move tonight to move up in the draft or acquire second-round picks. #Knicks

    Cavs hoping to move down and still get Alex Len. To get the guy you want & additional assets is the Chris Grant way.

    This seems more logical....question is does anyone lowere want to trade up? and is CLE asking a mint to do so?

    According to the NBA, no trades were sent in before the 2 pm trade deadline. That means draft order is set.

    Well that's interesting. So the teams above may want to wait until the teams pick the players they want; then trade with the team that has the player.

    Seems like a smart move. Maybe a team that wants Len could wait a few picks and not need a #3-5 to get him. Less money, if you know what I mean?

    Draft McCollum, trade our Eurostash for a late 1st and snag Dieng!

    If McCollum is there, yes. Also, several teams in the late first round are trying to trade back into the early second. The Greek plus a second rounder may get you Dieng. I would be very happy with that draft.

    Yeah I think this means they want to wait and see what is there and that perhaps teams were overvaluing the value of these picks....

    Andre Roberson, who is in attendance for the draft, has a commitment from a team in the early second round according to a source.


    I know some people on this board like him, analytics like him as well....

    not saying you're wrong, but the flip side of that coin is that when you call up CHA because you want Zeller (who they drafted), they have you over a barrel.

    Supreme confidence of other lottery teams that Orlando will take Indiana's Victor Oladipo with No. 2 pick. Still, Magic discussing trades.

    It seems like the last few years, deals are done contingent to the draft working as planned. The picks aren't swapped as much beforehand, but the trades are already agreed to.

    Well, you would think that call would be made before that pick was made.....

    Rumor: Magic's pick tonight could affect Arron Afflalo's future sbn.to/12obJKA

    If Oladipo is coming in, Afflalo could be going out

    Becoming harder to map a scenario where UNLV's Anthony Bennett doesn't slide on board. He could leave Portland with choice at No. 10.

    Wow, now that would be something....

    He has been the guy that I can see sliding all along. There are too many things working against him. But he would be amazing for our bench.

    If Anthony Bennett slides to No. 10, he instantly becomes the Andre Drummond of this draft. I have him as the second best prospect.

    doesn't help our C situation much, though.
