Official 2012 NBA Draft Thread

They don't have to give all that up for the 10th pick, even if they're looking to trade one of their bigs.

nola, that trade is horrible for utah..

 

[jonathanlambert33]

10th pick and Trevor Ariza who is one of the leagues better perimeter defenders. The Jazz have been searching for a guy that could upgrade their perimeter defense and Ariza especially fits that bill.

I agree that it may be a little much, but it's not nearly as much as you are making it out to be.

 

[elcheato]

Milsap alone is probably worth that pick, then you're adding on the guy who got taken #12 last year, and showed some promise, and the kicker, taking Ariza, a guy the Hornets want to get rid of.

 

[elcheato]

T-Rob is in Cleveland..That's my dream spot for him

Not much of a realistic chance with Tristan around.

If the Hornets are looking to trade Pick 10 for a young veteran, who are some of the potential targets?
Chad Ford
(3:38 PM)


Darren Collison, Eric Bledsoe, Evan Turner I've heard a lot. Ditto for Paul Millsap of the Jazz.

[Pugz]

targets for nola, doesnt mean those teams are willing to listen..

 

[elcheato]

I'm sure they'd listen to Millsap for #10, but I don't see the point in adding Burks or taking a bad contract. Doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

According to an NBA source, Harrison Barnes had a workout scheduled in Sacramento on Friday, but has cancelled. Top 4 promise?

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I hate when fans see trades that are GREATLY beneficial to their team and try to justify it from the other team's perspective. Like when some 76ers fan said Kyle Lowry and Kevin Martin for Elton Brand would be great for the Rockets.

 

[Pugz]

harrison to cleveland

 

[elcheato]

The Cavs wouldn't even promise Kyrie he was the #1 pick last year, don't think they'd do it with Barnes at #4.

Why does nobody talk about Wesley Johnson being one of the bigger draft busts of the past few years. He's been terrible for Minny for two years now and he's already 24.

 

[.infamous]

Cause its minnesota. Nobody cares what happens in minnesota.

 

[Pugz]

actually i thought he would have done better. hes a scrub.

It's way too early to call Wes Johnson a bust.

 

[elcheato]

I liked Wes coming out of Syracuse. He has shamed me forever.

 

[Hurricane Season]

7 points per game shooting about 39 percent. Turrible.

Minny doesn't have much luck with players from Cuse.

Flynn looked like he was on the right track after his rookie season, fell off pretty bad from there.
