The Sacramento Kings are looking to acquire a second first-round pick and are using guard Jimmer Fredette as bait. Sources say the Kings have reached out to a number of teams in the mid-to-late first round in an attempt to secure another pick. Both the Indiana Pacers and Utah Jazz are potential destinations for Jimmer. Kings coach Mike Malone is enamored with both Tim Hardaway Jr. and Tony Snell, but the Kings feel that they can get them much lower in the draft.

This would be really disappointing. Hopefully it's just blind (and stupid) speculation.

What are the Cleveland Cavaliers seeking in exchange for the No. 1 pick? Sources say they reached out to the Portland Trail Blazers in an attempt to land LaMarcus Aldridge for the Nos. 1 and 19 picks. The Blazers quickly rebuffed them.

You have to offer Thompson as well to make it interesting, guys.

The Wolves continue to try to move higher up in the draft to get their hands on Victor Oladipo. They're offering Derrick Williams, the No. 9 and the No. 26 pick to move up, but so far haven't found a taker. New Wolves GM Flip Saunders is enamored with Oladipo.

Noel barely weighs 200 pounds. We need to stop this hype train.

The boy is Tyrus Thomas. Just accept it.

My big worry with him is that he doesn't look like he has a big frame to add that much weight to. Guys like Chandler, Dwight and Davis last year have broad ass shoulders and long, lanky limbs.

Davis didn't put on much weight for this season but it didn't affect his game as much as some had thought since he still got his blocks and rebounds. He got beat up a few times by other C's (and a few PFs like...Boozer, lulz) but all in all it was a good rookie year for him.

If Davis can be ok, Noel can be ok. I agree with Ninja that his frame isn't as nice as Davis's or Chandlers, but he can still put on weight. He'll just look more like LMA.

Edit: All this being said, the Hornets still want Davis to put on 15+ lbs of muscle. So obviously Davis has a ways to go still. As will Noel.

Hmm not sure how I feel about this. We would have so much salary to play with if lma was off the books. Are we being knee-phobic?

Is this a joke?

LMA is already a proven player and is currently a Top 10 PF in the league right now.

Cavs demonstrating what a clown show their front office is by even suggesting that trade.

MWP is indicating he's opting out of his contract? The decision has to be made by tomorrow.

lol if he does. $7.7 mil, he won't get 2 years $7.7 I think from anyone.

Doesn't matter much for lakers salary purposes unless Dwight walks. If he does walk, Lakers would have the MLE available, not that I think they'd use it on anything but a 1 year deal most likely.

I'm guessing it's a troll and he's staying

You just gonna turn on your boy like that?

Do I really have to ask somebody to name 10 PFs better than LMA?
Click to expand...

Can you realistically even name anyone better? Sure as shit ain't Kevin Love or Blake Griffin right now. I'd accept Timmy but he's not a PF anymore.

To me, he hasn't significantly separated himself from players like that so I wouldn't yet give him the definitive title of best PF, but yeah, I see apparently I missed the point.

All I was trying to say is that no amount of 1st round picks from this draft is worth giving up LMA for.

Its crazy seeing young Wade in this draft special on ESPN. Dude looked like a normal human being compared to what years of juicing did to him now.

lma is gonna be on the decline when lillard hits his prime, and there are a lot of solid free agents/expirings/trade pieces out there (iggy, pek, gortat, cp3). What's wrong with the trade?

This is the worst reasoning I've ever heard to give up the best player on your team.

We don't even know if Lillard is actually gonna improve upon his rookie season or if it'll be all downhill from here for him.

We have nothing the Cavs would want that we'd be willing to part with. They don't need picks and the only prospect we'd send them is Biyombo, but I doubt they'd be interested. I'd offer him and the number 4 in a heartbeat to the Cavs though for Noel. As IWMTB posted, he's the first big since Hakeem and the Admiral to post an average of 5 blocks and 2 steals. He's being slept on because of his injury.

This guy is going to be a tremendous disappointment. His injury is worrisome and he'll never be a great offensive player in any capacity.

What baseless claim? He was injured his first year.

But wasn't before he was drafted

And one season isnt exactly plagued

Shit one injury was a total freak accident that had nothing to do with him besides being teammates with Austin Rivers
