Lock In Your Picks for #4, #24, #31, #33

[carolina-chuck]

Talkingon 610 about trading the 4 for 14 & 18. I missed the first part but Id be all over that. 14,18,24,31,33. I dont care who we get as long as we hit on two of them. Kendall marshall at 14 then whoever you want.

No way. NBA draft is not like the NFL where you could pile up a lot of picks and still get quality guys in the later rounds.

There's a big drop off from top 7-8 down. Even if we were able to land say a Jeremy Lamb at 14, I wouldn't be satisfy bc who we going to get at 18?

I'd rather try to land a star player in the top 4 then having two three quality but average players. Making your team only mediocre, and not a serious contender.

4 for 14 and 18 would be an atrocious deal

Here's something interesting that came up on CBS sportsline.

The Bobcats are shopping the No. 2 pick. The price? Tyrus Thomas, and his contract, according to theWashington Post.

Even if we trade with the Cavs down to 4 & get #24 in the process, the Bulls will need to offer us the world to move from #29 to #4 to snag Barnes (assuming he is still on the board). Rumor is that Deng is on the block and the Bulls think he is worth a premium but I think he is a good player who looks better than he is due to the talent around him.

Of course if they are desperate enough, how about #4 (after our trade with Clev.), Tyrus Thomas & Diop for #29, Deng & we get back the 1st round pick we owe them.

Deng has two years left for about the same money Tyrus is owed for three years. And we still have #24, #29 & #31. Two of those could be packaged to move back into the 11-14 range and get a decent player.

Yeah, they will not do that but one can dream.

Jeremy Lamb, Kendall Marshall, Moe Harkless, Tony Wroten, Festus Ezeli, Terrence Jones, etc.

....but I'd rather get Harrison Barnes @ #4.

Still none of those guys at this point is better than a T-rob, MKG, or Barnes to say if we just stay in the top four.

Only Lamb, Jones and Marshall are only worth a no. 14. After that you can't get anyone better at 18. Would you rather just take a Barnes or t-rob itself at top 4 or getting two guys like a Lamb and Festus? Lamb is a SG, Marshall/wrotten PG, Festus C, Jones PF. Bc we sure dnt need a SG or PG with the players left at that point. I'd rather just go head and take a Banres or Trob. You're losing talents each time by trading down and trying to pile up picks.

I hope they trade back to #4 then Beal/Robinson get drafted. No way MJ & Cho pick MKG over Barnes. Cho is gonna make anybody who wants the pick take Tyrus Thomas. If we can dumped Tyrus, draft Barnes, & add more picks the night will be a major success.

Interesting in the link Jerry posted was word that Portland might want to trade up, if we could get 6 and 11, I'd take it over Cleveland deal.

There are no stars in this draft. In my scenerio.

14 - kendall marshall

18 - moe harkless - 6'9 sf st johns

24 - fab melo

31 - quincy miller - 6'10 sf baylor

33 - darius johnson-odom - 6'3 sg marquette

Or we could stay put and pick one guy at number 2 with just as many question marks. Seems like a no brainer to me.

[toldozer]

No 1 player in this draft is going to make the bobcats good. If you draft 5 of the top 33 hopefully 2 pan out to be pretty good.

[Wanderlai]

I'd rather have 6 and 11 verses 4 and 24. If you did that though you miss on Barnes, MKG, TRobb, and Beal, unless someone goes rogue.

[toldozer]

Trade back to four then if whoever portland wants is still available trade back to 6. 6 11 24 31 33 would be fine with me

That would be great.
