Following potential 2012 draftees

[orangello]

If anyone wants to get REAL excited by Royce White, trash the highlight vids and watch the entire game between Iowa St and UK in the tourney .. Royce on display. In particular, toward the end, watch a little dribble move he does against TJones .. awesome. VERY cocky player .. in a good way,

So you approve?

Trader.

Celtics forum that way ----------------------------------------->

You mean Traitor?

Rondo/Royce = Showtime Celtics.

 

[orangello]

Rondo/Royce = Showtime Celtics.

League Pass seems more like a possibility just to watch those two.

Why would anyone ever promise anyone they were going to pick them? I think its bs.

the Utah Jazz did with CJ Miles, I think.

Happens all the time, every year.

Lol

Nevermind. I just watched Steve Kerr say he once made a promise.

I believe it now.

 

[Dr. Jones]

If you are seriously interested in how the promise works ..

A team may offer a promise (and can actually sign a LOI) but may require a player to stop any workouts (concerned they may improve their stock). It's the player's dice to roll as to whether they're getting the highest and best offer .. there have been times a player has 'passed' on the promise and fell (after add'l workouts) and the offering team felt dissed.

Stopping workouts can also raise interest and get them picked before the promise because teams think there is something there.

Can a player publicly reject a certain team? Are there rules for this kind of stuffs?

Yes they can.

They could, but it wouldn't be smart. That would make the player untrustworthy to publicly deny a team.

Yet happens every year at the top of the lottery ... and it's smart in most cases.

I now remembered Rubio rejecting the Timberwolves or something like that. But I don't know what was the exact deal with his case.

 

[Dr. Jones]

I don't know any details of what we've been in talks with HOU about .. but I suspect this new news would negate any of those talks.

HOU trying to trade 14 and 16 for #5 (sending Patterson to SAC, as well) and attempting to leverage that into the Dwight sweepstakes.
