What will you guys hope that Isiah does with that pick??? I know that Green will still be on the board and plenty of other talents will be there also. Would you trade the 2nd pick for 2 early first round picks from the early 10 and up????


Reason I am asking is because, I know for a fact that we will endup with the 2nd or 3rd pick tonight....

Dido, calm down on the coffee. The lottery isn't until 8:30 tonight.

Here is a scenario for Isiah, since we are destined to win either the 2nd or 3rd pick, he should trade it to the Bobcats for their 2 early picks, especially the 10th pick that they got from Cleveland.


"Four Ping-Pong balls are selected and the combination of those balls determines the winner. Once the first three picks are announced, the final 10 draft positions are determined by record.

After Atlanta, the teams with the worst records are in order: New Orleans, Charlotte, Utah, Portland, Milwaukee, Toronto, the Knicks, Golden State, the Lakers, Orlando, the Clippers and Minnesota. The Bobcats get a couple of extra combinations because they have the rights to Cleveland's pick, which currently is 10th overall".

LOL! Will you buy me a winning lottery ticket too?

Another possibility for Isiah, Penny wants to finish his career with Orlando, why not trade him for 2 years of bad contract and orlando's first round pick....???? What about Tonie Battie and their first round for Penny????

Sounds cool but would Orlando even care to do something like that? They suck just like we do. I think they would wanna hold on to that draft pick.

I'd trade the #2 and #30 for the Charlottes 3 and 13. But you could only really do that if they are super high on Marvin Williams and we make it clear we'll take him.

Hey look here, the Bobcats are hot on Williams, so we can con them on trading their 2 picks to move up...

if we get #2, and find out #1 is going to draft bogut, i do everything in my power to get the #1, including trading the #2 AND sweetney.

i doubt that would do it. probably would have to include ariza also, or have to take back a bad contract.

Where's BRIGGS in all of this? I would love to read his oppinion on this, whether we have to draft up for Bogut, pick someone else at #2, or if we trade down and try to land Bynum as well as an additional pick.

Yikes, all this talk about the 2nd pick, the Knicks have a higher chance (17%) of dropping back a spot to the 9th pick.

The way the talent in the draft is this year, whether we get the 8th or 9th pick won't matter much. the only player that won't be in the top 3 but is probably better than anything we can get at 8 or 9 is green. Everything else is just a crap shoot. We're no better off picking 6th or 7th as we are 8th or 9th, assuming green goes 4th or 5th.
