It's Official: LA with #1 pick

[Diddy1122]

1. LA Clippers
2. Memphis
3. OKC
4. Sacramento
5. Washington
6. Minnesota
7. Golden St.
8. NY
9. Toronto
10. Milwaukee
11. New Jersey
12. Charlotte
13. Indiana
14. Phoenix

Now this poses an interesting dilemma for the Clips. They already have Camby, Kaman, Randolph, and to some extent Thorton at the big man positions. If LA keeps the pick, one of those players will have to be moved. I say the Bulls should try and make a move for Chris Kaveman.

Depends on who you trade Kaveman for. As for Bulls moving up since there looking to I see 4 teams they could strike deal with. Minnesota, Toronto, Milwaukee, and Sacramento. Milwaukee probably giving us best chance to get guy like Blair and Sacramento could give us chance to get guy like Hill. The reason they trade out is because after 5 theres no really great guys that fit their needs. They already have stud player in Martin and Thompson. They need pg and sf where Ty Lawson could be avilable. Maybe we give them Jerome and take back bad contract too. Minnesota could strike deal to add depth to their team that they need and also could acquire Hinrich. Toronto because they looking to add more picks and Milwakuee because they could use depth and hustle guys that Skiles likes. Even though he probably fall in love with Blair so it could make it hard to strike deal with them

Clippers - Griffin(and they attempt to move Kaman-he is a fallback option for the Bulls)
Grizzlies - Rubio(puts Conley on the block--look at Portland)
Thunder - Harden(a little bit of a surprise but this is a gut feeling for me)
Kings - Jennings(this team desperately needs a floor leader)
Wizards - Thabeet(the successor to Haywood)
Wolves - Evans(bigger point guard to pair with Foye)
Warriors - Hill(gives them a PF/C who brings some needed toughness)
Knicks - Curry(worst kept secret in the NBA)
Raptors - DeRozan(gives them perimeter help they need)
Bucks - Blair(gives them tough minded PF to go with Bogut-this kid Skiles will love)
Nets - Clark(nice fit to give Nets some scoring punch at forward)
Bobcats - Henderson(perfect fit here as SG to replace Bell)
Pacers - Holiday(gives them added size and defense to backcourt)
Suns - Flynn(the guy they want to replace Nash falls to them)
Pistons - Johnson(feels like a Pistons pick; big versatile SF)
Bulls - Williams(Bulls are surprised he is there; great defender at SG spot)

We sure did need another thread than discuss it in mine.

My bad, newskool, no need to get all territorial. I didn't read yours so I didn't even know you guys were talking about it on there.

Hahaha. I've been too using my scanner abilities to cause quakes in Cali to rid the world of the likes of Perez Hilton.

Agree! Though the Wolves might take DeRozan instead of Evans. But the Raptors might swoop on Evans if he's available. Holiday can also end up with the Bobcats. He seems to be a Brown type of player. I agree with James Johnson not going pass the Pistons.

For the Bulls, it's a crap shoot. I don't like Terrence Williams but I guess he's the best talent available and the Bulls should go that route.

NBADraft.net and Draft Express both have us taking Johnson at 16 with Draft.net having us passing on Blair......

At 26 is where they differ. Draft Express has us taking SG Marcus Thornton and Draft.net PF Taj Gibson

SPOILER (I think it counts as one maybe)

Has anyone see that Dunleavy has already come out & stated they're drafting Griffin. Quite early to make such an announcement. Wish Pax did that with Rose last year rather than having to listen to the argument from some that we should draft Beasley

Blake Griffin was the consensus #1 pick.

There was a good case for taking Beasley over Rose. Beasley's a very skilled big man. Paxson did his homework. It would have been dumb to make such a proclamation when you're in a draft with two players who are pretty even, especially when you already have a point guard on your roster who you've committed big money to.
