I predict that the end-of-the-world scenario predicted by every religion ever occurs at the same time, and the draft is therefore cancelled.

Demarre Carroll

Demarre Carroll probably won’t be on the board at #56.

What if we think there will be trades in the lottery?

by Norsktroll on Jun 22, 2009 5:53 PM PDT reply actions

It's the position, not the team picking that makes the points

Blazers picks get the “selected by the Blazers with another pick” bonus in case you’re right about the player but is picked with another bought/traded/swapped pick

Very much on the same page Jksnake

I would move around a couple of 2nd round picks and take Llull and Claver as well but its good to know that you have been taking your reality pills.

Slave Kravtsov

never heard the name before, but sounds like he should be in the NHL draft, not the NBA one… ;-)

How did you guys win that?

He's a European prospect. He's a center from Ukraine.

I personally think that he could be a decent role player eventually. He’ll need at least a year or two to develop overseas before he comes to the NBA though.

looks good...

except its highly unlikely that claver will be there at 38

fire nate before its too late

I'm going a bit creative here on what should happen

1— Clippers— Blake Griffin
2— Grizzlies— Ricky Rubio
3— Thunder— James Harden
4— Kings— Jonny Flynn
5— Wizards— Tyreke Evans
6— Wolves— Hasheem Thabeet
7— Warriors— Brandon Jennings
8— Knicks— Stephen Curry
9— Raptors— Demar DeRozan
10— Bucks— Jordan Hill
11— Nets— DeJuan Blair
12— Bobcats—Gerald Henderson
13— Pacers— Jrue Holiday
14— Suns— Terrence Williams
15—Pistons—Earl Clark

Blazers (will trade up or out, won’t keep all second rounders but convert or stash them)
11— DeJuan Blair
33— Victor Claver
38— Jeff Pendergraph
55— Sergey Gladyr
56— Alade Aminu

by Norsktroll on Jun 22, 2009 9:33 PM PDT reply actions

I never disagree with Norskie...

Very much.

I also think KP trades with NJ to score the 11 and snatch Blair from the Pacers at 13.

The 24 pick, by the Blazers for the Nets, will be Omri Casspi.

I think he takes Pendergraph at 33, not 38; and Danny Green at the 38.

I expect he comes up with a Eurostash later on… Hmmm, who?

Let’s say Sergei Gladyr at the 55 and then Chris Johnson at the 56.

done.

I feel good about this prediction after the Wolves trade. Evans and Thabeet would both fit well in Minny.
