[The Young One]

Think Charlotte goes with a 2 Guard at pick 9. Same with Philly at 10. I think your top 4 is spot on. Not sure of Saric at 5. I think Gordon goes 6 to Boston.

I read that Utah maybe the Dark Horse in pulling for Saric. The actually have one of the bigger overseas scouting staff. He's honestly talented enough to play the 3 and 4 and help stretch the floor for Burke. I know it is rather high for a guy we don't know much about but he is really talented. Rumor is Hood and Charlotte have an interest in each other. Lakers could look at Hood at 7. Philly is a team with a ton of picks in such a deep draft we have no idea where they could go. Coming from Boston I think they're looking to move Rondo or find a assertive G like Smart to play along side him. A lot of choices in Boston picks.

 

[The Young One]

Don't know enough about Utah to have a good feel on who they're leaning. Exum is a sleeper at 2. The thing with Charlotte taking Hood is he's strictly a SF IMO. They already have a young one with MKG. I'd imagine they try to give them a scorer at the 2 guard. I'm not high on him contributing right away but I can see Lavine going top 12.

Me too. I heard wolves may move Love for Vonleh or Randle and the Kings will make a deal without a guarantee for 2015. I feel if a team like Sacramento cant pull Love they'll draft Lavine because of talent alone and potential to be a Westbrook type of player and how they want a larger PG than Thomas.

Utah will trade down for mcdonalds
Or maybe outright

They still like favors and kanter and mcdermott is a vast improvement to marvin williams
Utah doesnt usually take euros
Does kanter count? Other than that maybe, they never go overseas

They take Euros. Saric just played an incredible Euro finals. Incredible performance. What I like about Saric here is he allows them to stretch the floor if he's a 4 allowing Favors to play inside as the 5 and keep Hayward at the 3. Or they can play big allowing Kanter Favors Saric and Hayward on the floor. Trading down is a great possibility since Vonleh & Randle are hot tickets in the draft.

No
 
 
Bradley improved a ton, and we need wing depth, a shot blocker, or a shooter. its gonna be between the four of Vonleh, Gordon, Stauskas, and McDermott, with the latter two being their trade down targets. Vonleh is their top guy, since he can be a shot blocker, and would offensively fit in very well in Stevens' offense. Celts aren't going to trade Rondo unless he tells him he's going to leave; this is Danny Ainge. And Smart doesnt seem like the type of player that will succeed without the ball in his hands, which isnt going to work in Boston. Smart+Rondo is just straight up a terrible pairing

 

[Mexi]

Celts will trade for asik
Take marcus smart

Asik
Sully
Parsons
Bradley
Smart

I believe they get Lin in that type of deal and picks. Ive seen almost 15 different scenarios. Honestly, i wouldnt pay bradley and let him walk. Smart is just a good pick for insurance incase Rondo wants out or they can develop him like a young DWade.

What happened to liking GR3 as a lotto pick?
 
I can see a lot of these picks happening tho

I liked him up high and then Cleveland won the lottery that night.

 

[CameronCrazy06]

GR3 is trash. I don't see Aaron Gordon falling to 10

 

[Mexi]

Heat will draft napier and let rio walk
Cole is starting next year

Nate Rob wouldn't have been a bad signing as a bench replacement for Rio.

I have him where Saric is now... More than likely... Saric has to definitively say he'll leave his lucrative Euro offer in order to picked that high and he hasnt said anything except declare.

I disagree. The Heat need to go big... Haslem is older and now assuming a more bench role mentor for the team. Greg Oden hasn't proven anything for this roster this year. Battier is retiring this year. Beasley will walk and take a serious role with another team and Anderson is peaking. Also Lewis will retire this year. Going big with McGary who was a lottery pick last year and should have been this year. He's worth the Gamble since he's talented enough to run the floor and be a double double guy and possibly start right off the bat for the club.

Nate Robinson legitimately should be starting in this league.

 

[CallMeDaddy]

Nate Robinson legitimately should be starting in this league.

 
I think so too, Miami wouldn't want to put him in the lineup and affect their defense though. He's Much better for them to be the spark off their bench.
 
I'd puke if he ever wore a Heat uniform though.

The Knicks should have reached out last year because Felton was a joke last year. I don't know where he should start but he seriously proved his case in Chicago in 2012-13. Really helped them when Rose sat.

Mock updated until pick 45.

Excellent points made kraig on the heat
