I dont know why u guys dont think that its possible to trade up. Although we dont have that much talent to offer a team, we still do have 2 first round picks this year and a few expiring contracts. Diaw, 9 mil, 1 year left could help those teams out for a season before they let him walk. Also got Najera and livingston's expiring contracts as well. And if we trade up, in my opinion we need to draft something we have never had, a guy who could potentially be a dominant center in the NBA in Enes Kanter(Tore up the euro championships at 18, scored 34 and pulled down 13 boards in the hoops summit.) He will finally give us a big body that might be able to slow down some of the larger/more skilled centers in the nba.(He's already 6-11, 261, and that was when he was measured last july).

I think people believe we could trade up a couple spots, just not to Williams or Irving. However, I don't know how much expiring contracts will be worth after the new CBA. There may be an amnesty provision that allows teams to drop dead weight on their own.

Because with the top of the draft always being much stronger than the middle and lower part of the draft, our two draft picks are not valuable at all.

Must of us simply do not get caught in the Video Game trades hype.... If we move up it's probably only for 1 or 2 spots... and the team we are trading with would have to not be sold on any player left on the board as a fit for their team.

It's just becoming a huge joke. NBA just needs to contract all of the perennially bad teams instead of letting them sit in mediocrity year after year with no chance at that #1 pick.

NBA is the worst run league in sports, period.

Timberwolves GM basically just came out and said he knew they were gonna get shafted for the #1 pick and that Cleveland's "feel good" story would trump their chances even though they had the most lottery balls.

I'm glad he called Stern out on yet another lottery fix. Unfortunately for him he'll catch a big fine for that. Stern doesn't allow people to speak the truth.

2008: Top prospect Rose just happened to be a Chicago native. Unfortunately Chicago had what, a <1% chance to get the pick? They magically win the lotto and the Chicago native gets to play for a struggling big market team.

Then the Wizards win the lotto right after the Gilbert Arenas drama...

I just hate being a fan of a league as corrupt as the NBA.

Draftexpress says that after the top 2 picks, the talent level dropoff from the #3 to the #10 spot is so slight it is hardly worth mentioning. Says he has never seen this in the 8 years he has been studying the draft. Thus why give up something to move from #9 to say #5 if the talent level is about the same at either pick?

    • It is all confusing and layered. SB is the cash you get very soon within weeks or in simple terms, its what you get to sign the paper work. Players and agents can agree on contract but what to "wait" to sign......teams don't like that cause you can "Carlos Boozer" yourself. In order to get that ink dry, while keeping the contract the same, portion it as a bonus to "sign" and get the funds with ________ .   * But Ive seen worded contracts that split the SB or a 20% to a later date. The beans counters can fill in the details about why certain dates are better and save the team money.. Theres tricks to the trade and accounting is full of them.    Ugh another big layer, is SB can be used to manipulate cap and players. Ill try to give a example that makes enough sense. Believe it or not having a owner like Tepper is a cheat code for this. He has cash in hand, where as Mark Davis had problem making pay roll and had to move the team to Vegas....... Tepper can give you 100,000,000 SB right now and the team can spread out the cap hit. Another owner doesn't have or want to give the player 100,000,000 in cash, but offered the same guaranteed contract in roster bonuses fully guaranteed over the next few years........ Which one do you want??? Everyone wants the money now, not before another inflation waves hits in 2 years. So it does 'pay" to have a owner like tepper that's able to have real cash on hand, while it also works GREAT for cap help. Heres a good video, if you can stand coked up pat and mask look-a-like AJ    
    • I don't know. CMC is like others and may have lip serviced that line of " I had no plan or wanted to leave Carolina" I think he even said he bought a house too and wanted this to be home.   Here's what I heard- In a way Panthers org gave him a test and he didn't "fight" back. They approached CMC and told him they wanted to put him on IR since the "season" was over or out of playoff reach. CMC didn't fight it one lick and agreed. They secretly wanted him to kept playing or want to, but there was no kickback. I honestly don't know if its real or not, 5th hand information type deal doing on. Yes he had bruises and pains, but was able to play...... but went along with Panthers staff. Odd to be playing games with star players, but whatever....   Plus the staff doctors found out about his tendinitis and there was nothing to fix it. Even with him missing time, it was the best move to trade him before he got inflamed constantly.    Lastly, its mostly time a combo of stuff, Fitterererere did not sign him to be the highest paid RB. That was classic Marty "give me a" herniay doing. GMs have different values on roster spots and rumor was Fitterererer was one that didn't want to pay RBs. For all his faults, he's right about that......
