2011 NBA Draft

[Uncle Mxy]

Anybody think Joe could get good value for #8

Joe could have an accident with a lottery pick, yes.

[Glenn]

No.

Can you help me out a bit here?

Chad, I have a 2 part question. 1. Who is the Pistons front runner for head coach, and 2. Do you think Joe D would select another Euro? (or Biyambo)?

Chad Ford (1:31 PM)
Not sure there's a front runner though I think there is a relationship with Mike Woodson that makes some sense. As for the draft I think there's five guys on the radar Jonas Valanciunas, Kemba Walker, Jan Vesely, Bismack Biyombo and Tristan Thompson.

Can't imagine he holds good value at the pick, let alone would drive a team to make a worthy offer to move up to that spot. He'll need a very, very trusing team to give him minutes. He was repeatedly assraped in college on defense by very inconsequencial guards. He'll get killed in the league Nash style, but without the team wide reward Steve brings on offense. At best he's Steph Curry with 2 twisted ankles.

[Glenn]

I need to stop reading about this elsewhere and just ask you. Seems like 4 or 5 teams are being mentioned as being hopeful that he's there for them. Smelled like an opportunity.

Cavs reportedly want "a young vet" in exchange for pick #4.

How about Rip/Stuckey/#8 for TPE/#4/another player?

Cavs could take Williams at #1, another good young player at #8 and add Rip & Stuck.

We get TPE to try and make another deal and somebody like Kanter at #4. Who would the other player be? Andy?

Crazy?

I'd do this but I don't think the Cavs would. I think that they really like Kanter. I don't even care who we got back.

There are about 5 players I would consider really impressive and pretty much 6-15 can go in any order. The #4 pick would get us somebody good.

on Jimmer

Hopping on a plane. Sounds like Jimmer had a good workout in Sac. He's in the mix at 7. But so are Kemba, Kawhi Leonard, Vesely.

[lospistones]

Jimmer would be a good complement to Tyreke Evans, as the latter isn't much of a shooter.

[lospistones]

and, anybody that jumps up in front of the #8 pick can only be a good thing.
