What's new

Following potential 2013 draftees

Schroeder is rumored to have a promise from Boston at 16. Does this change the FOs thinking?

That rumor was denied by Schroeder and his agent. However, Giannis is supposed to have 2 promises, one is believed to be Atlanta. Danny Ainge also flew to Greece to see him. That's a long flight.
 
I doubt the Jazz FO is overly persuaded by rumors.

I meant more of are they hoping to get him at 21 and therefore looking at non PGs with 14. Just trying to get somewhat involved with the names before the draft.
 
I think this is one of the strongest drafts for SGs in a few years. -- dipo, KCP, Franklin, Crabbe, Karasev, Hardaway Jr., Rice Jr., etc. It just pushes Goodwin down the list if he's perceived to have question marks. I think Hardaway in particular is stealing some of his thunder. Both are similar physically and are athletic slashing guards, but Hardaway is a bit more polished.

I'll say this about Goodwin: he has a fire in his eyes that I don't think I've seen since Michael Jordan. He wants to tear this league apart, and he's got the tools to do it. He knows it too. He could be like Harden + a potent mid-range game.

.. and Ledo (who I have liked for years).

Yes, Goodwin has the required intensity/heart/drive/work ethic.. the 'will not be denied' mentality... he improves his decision-making (he will) and gets some arc under his shot (I'm not so sure) and he's a top 10 guy, easily. Though we could make similar statements about all these guys.

Haha.. I knew what you meant and was just busting your balls. When I hit reply I was wondering if you would know whether I was just poking.

I have two of my three princesses here in my face so I'm off my game. My bad.
 
Hot prospect... legit stretch 4.

Here's a prospect impressing in draft workouts: Arizona forward Grant Jerrett. Only 19, he's rising on team boards. Great range, 6-foot-10.
 
here ismy recent plan

trade picks with okc 14 and 21 for 12, 29 and 32

trade 12 and a future 1st (not 2014) to minny for 9

take Marion for the 13th add 46 and a future 2 if needed.

draft McCollum at 9
Giannis or gobert at 13 (stash pick)
wolters at 29
ledo or Goodwin at 32.

take Thomas Robinson off Houston's hands. bring tomic over with a front loaded 3 year contract. 8 mill, 6 mill, 6 mill

McCollum, wolters
burks, Ledo
Hayward, Marion, Carroll
favors, Robinson, Williams, Evans
kanter, tomic, some cheap scrub like Aldrich

next year suck and get Jabari Parker (yes I believe in luck)

McCollum, wolters
Hayward, burks, Ledo
Parker, giannis, Carroll
favors, Robinson
kanter, tomic

Certainly seems like the most likely scenario with the mocks I've seen lately.
