Is there a "don't" missing in this header DJ?

I think trading a pick lower than #2 for Yi makes sense.....sheeeeeeet......trading for Yi period sounds like a good move. He can play. Just don't know if it will ever be in the nba.

I'd trade the fifth or sixth for him. He's only 20 and has some good upside. I wouldn't trade the first or second. I might trade the third and the mayor for Yi and the Bucks pick.

You mean if you don't have a brain you would make this trade? What a dumb trade. Thats what happens when $$ determines trade vs. talent advantages.

I cant believe I just listened to eye of the tiger while watching a 7 foot chinese man shooting 3's and getting fast break dunks.

One of those I took too much LSD in high school moments

Me too. If we don't get 1,2 or 3 I think we should trade up to get Mayo. Question is: what would it take?

If we end up in the slot that gets Mayo--that will be it. I don't see anyone moving around in the top 5-6 picks. I do think that we should look into acquiring a center for the future if we can. This is an unusual draft where there are several very nice prospects from the C position that might go MUCH higher if they stayed in school. The fact is--really we dont have a c and we are not winning without someone who can protect the basket. I think when you are watching Pau BIG Z Duncan etc.. the need for a player 7 feet tall who can play above the rim on both ends is just so important--and if we have assets to do that I think we should. If we are slotted 5 and things turn out that Mayo slips to 5 that is fine--otherwise it's highly doubtful at this part of the draft that we can move up for anyone of these players.

You don't think Lee + our pick would get pick #3?

Mayo

- not nearly as athletic as billed (struggled to do anything but shoot jumpers as a college player)
- knowing he was under the microscope, acted like a decent human being in his one year, but has a Zach Randolph type personality (quirky, me first, loser)
- is a small 2 guard

I wouldn't take him over the big 2 obviously. But also wouldn't take him above Westbrook, Gallinari, McGee, Augustin.
