Following potential 2015 draftees

Charlotte is trolling for trade offers. Throwing rumors to see if they can get a response.

Locke's Tipoff today thinks Hayward + 12 would get the Knicks pick at 4. It depends on whether the Jazz would make that move, obviously.

Locke thinks the Jazz could get #10 from Miami if we take a contract like Josh McRoberts to help them free cap space. Miami likes Monta Ellis and is going to offer a big deal to Goran Dragic.

He thinks that Jazz would pass on WCS and Cameron Payne.

Jeez- I would thin that 12 plus hayward would get you number 2 at least. I think Locke is exaggerating how hard it is to move up. I am sure the Lakers would would be all in. I think so

Kinda sucks in a three player draft. . .

The move would be a) save money, b) draft Hezonja or Porzingis, c) throw money at a free agent.

Hayward is still seen as a 2nd or 3rd option on a contending team. Nice piece though for sure.

@1280Spence: Hearing Jazz have two targets tonight, hoping one is there at 12 but willing to trade up if not. Stanley Johnson and Justice Winslow.

If the Jazz think Johnson can play the 4, that's a very attractive option.

We better not trade a core guy but if we do we better not be trading 12

Locke's Big Board has Hezonja completely omitted from the top 15 - 20 picks. Again, there is something about Hezonja that makes Locke just refuse to acknowledge his existence. Locke's excuse is -- "I haven't watched him."

And yet, Locke likes Rakeem Christmas in the 2nd round.

Locke also refuses to comment on the Millsap story. He says he hasn't heard anything on it, that it's Spence Checketts' thing.

Locke talks to all kinds of NBA sources, but doesn't bother to talk to Spence?

To me, that just adds validity to the leak.

Oh god yes.

At the bottom, it says that he didn't study him so he didn't include him.

anyone have a link to watch the draft if you don't have ESPN?

I'd love to get Miami's #10 pick if all it would cost is taking on McRoberts for 3 years. McRoberts was injured this last year but he can still play, can't he?
