Mock Draft Media Report

by Dave on Jun 10, 2008 12:42 AM PDT

As you all know the Blazersedge Mock Draft is only days away now. Surprisingly it's been a little quiet on the trade rumor front, but our crack investigative reporters have picked up a little information for you:

--It appears the Celtics are a little ambivalent about their 30th and final spot in the draft and may be looking to trade out of the proceedings entirely if they can find a little talent to bolster their bench.

--The Knicks, on the other hand, appear to be in immediate rebuilding mode and are looking to pick up extra picks.

--The Grizzlies are rumored to be very active in the market. Don't be surprised to see them get a deal or two done by Friday.

That's all for now. We'll have another update in a couple days as the pre-draft flurry increases.

My sources

say that Jack, the 13th, and cash has been offered for the Clippers pick.

Re: My Sources

Hey JT, how reliable are those sources, and if so, how does this benefit the team?

As Elgin Baylor, I never have heard, received, or discussed any trade with Jarrett Jack. Also, that’s not a good trade.

This has shown me

How hard this job would really be. It’s a business of imperfect information.

I don’t have any inside information on trades, I just study film on the players and I can tell you that this draft is one of the bounciest, wingspan-iest, upside-est drafts in the last decade.

Any news on their motors?

I haven't been crazy about their motors...

... ever since Tyler Hansbrough announced he was returning to UNC. By the way, the ACC (especially Duke) is far superior to all other conferences.

Yeah, Jay.

This draft truly has tremendous upside potential. You have got to get a good player in this draft. You can find a great player late in the draft who has almost as much tremendous upside potential as one in the top 5. You have got to realize it is a deep draft.
