The 2014 Draft Selections are Your Responsibilities, Who Do You Pick?

You might actually see KOC break out in dance if Parker only took the Jazz and '14 GSW picks.

That would be ugly, but worth it.

If we can get Wiggins, we get Wiggins. Even if we have to throw in one of our fab five.

definitely.. or even two.

Too hard to get a superstar.. and the odds are good he'll be a super-duper-star.

You can't get him through a trade. Name the last time a trade for the #1 pick happened.

Any team would be stupid to trade him. The situation is hypothetical.

That wasn't the question.

I wonder how'd would affect his draft position if there was a legit 7 footer available on a similar talent level. Like Oden - Durant in '07. I don't wanna hate in any way, but history has shown that teams were more likely to select the big man. Maybe too many guards don't reach that game changing level and could get you fired as GM, while big men drafted #1 as promising as Hakeem, Shaw, D12 and Oden are struggling mostly because of injuries(Except when Michael Jordan or the Clippers draft first).
W/o knowing how their careers turned out, I'd bet money on that the Bulls would have selected Hakeem too at #1 and the Thunder would have also picked Oden in case they had Portland's pick.

Technically 2011 the Clippers sent Irving to the Cavs...Depending on the angle you look at it.

You can't get a known #1 pick. Technically if the Warriors suck and get the 1st pick, we traded into Wiggins.

Yes. The Warriors are risking that with sending their pick unprotected...But I left the opportunity to deny that. Just saying that they risked trading a #1 pick and it happened. So it's probably never after lottery.
