What if we got somewhere in the 3-7 range-just far out enough to not get Rubio. Would a possibility be to get a guy like Harden with the first pick and trade Nate or Lee to trade back into the lower lottery/mid 1st round and grabbing Lawson?


Lawson
Harden
Chandler
Gallo
Lee?

i would say no to Harden... if we get the #3 pick i trade down w/a team looking to pick Thabeet & take Derozan, & w/the extra late round pick take either Mullens or Taj Gibson.

You mean I haven't sold you on Thabeet yet?

Just say yes...

oohah

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

if we get the #8 pick & Derozan is no longer there, i'll be happy to take Thabeet... how's that?

Why not? Just curious. He doesn't seem like a system guy he seems like an overall very good player who can adjust to whatever system he plays in.

On a side note, in this scenario would you trade Harrington and Curry for Steven Hunter and KMart?

i seriously got turned off to Harden when he came up invisible in that Pac10 championship game vs. USC... they gave him the ball w/a chance to score some key baskets down the stretch of that game & 1 time he lanched up a brick and another time he ended up turning the ball over... plus he doesn't strike me as a guy who can anchor an offense at the NBA level... seems more like a second fiddle scorer guy & we have enough of those on this team already.

i would not make that trade w/DEN cuz we'd be taking on too much longterm salary w/KMart's contract... if they wanted Curry & Fishlips for KMart i do it in a heartbeat but i doubt DEN wants any part of that deal either.

We could probably get KMart for Curry and JJ2 if we add a draft pick or two.

I do like KMart though and think he would be an excellent addition to this team as a PF/C(in Dantoni's system he would probably start at center, imo). I would love to get a player or two of the KMart/RonRon ilk and attitude in here. I think JR Smith would make an excellent addition also.

How about a resigned Lee, Curry, and Jefferies(or Hughes) for KMart, Smith(resigned to a reasonable contract), and Steven Hunter(FA after next year).

u & i can talk about deals like this til we're blue in the face but we all know Donnie's not gonna take on any more longterm contracts unless it's for a special impact player... KMart & JR Smith, tho i like both those guys, are not players that Donnie's gonna sacrifice the 2010 plan to get.

We can only end up with the 1,2,3, or 8,9,10 picks. We can't end up with the 4-7 picks without a trade.

Tomorrow's the lotto so we'll know what's what soon.
Alan Hahn: Nate Robinson has been on a ridonkulous scoring tear lately (remember when he couldn't hit Jerome James with a Big Mac in early January?)
