#Bucks, #Warriors, #Hawks and #Celtics pursuing Kidd-Gilchrist hardest, sources say: http://www.sheridanhoops.com/2013/06/25/source-bobcats-shopping-kidd-gilcrest-to-draft-otto-porter/ …

Fuck.

This rumor originated from joe kotach so I wouldn't put to much stalk into it. In fact I really can't recal him really ever nailing any rumor.

How about 1+19 for 4+MKG and take Oladipo at 4?

That would be great if you could win games without scoring points.

There's a strong possibility ex-Bucks head coach Jim Boylan will be Mike Brown's lead asst in Cleveland.

I agree with SuperMario. #1 and #19 for MKG and #4.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are down to a final list of three players for the No. 1 pick and hope to make a decision by Thursday morning, according to a source.

The list is expected to include Alex Len, Nerlens Noel and either Otto Porter or Ben McLemore. Chad Ford reported on Monday that it could come down to Len and Noel.

But the Cavs are also exploring trading the top pick since they’re not in love with any one player who in a “normal” year wouldn’t be a top pick. According to a source, Cleveland offered the No. 1 pick, Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters to try and land Minnesota’s Kevin Love. But new Timberwolves president Flip Saunders won’t move Love.

The Cavs are fond of Thompson and Waiters -- the latter being one of the top six rookies last season -- but Cleveland would love to get an All-Star forward to pair with All-Star point guard Kyrie Irving.

The problem for Cleveland is there aren’t any takers for the top pick at the moment.

Elsewhere, a source said Oklahoma City was interested in packaging its two first-round picks (Nos. 12 and 29) and Kendrick Perkins for a top-five pick. But the Thunder have had no takers either.

Meanwhile, Dallas is openly shopping its No. 13 pick, but is having a hard time finding a quality deal.

There are a still a number of moves that could occur before the draft, like Golden State trying to purchase a second-round pick. But as of Tuesday afternoon, there was a lot of talk, but not much action.

Anybody else think this is too much for Love?

LOL. If that report is true, I have lost all faith in Chris Grant. LOL lol LOL LOL lol LOL

#1 for Kevin Love, sure. #1, #19 for Kevin Love, maybe. 3-4 starters for Kevin Love, LOL.

3 mid-high ceiling starters for one good starter. lmao. Comedy. That report has to be false, because there is no way in hell Minnesota says no to that offer.

An NBA source with knowledge of the situation adamantly denied Tuesday that the Charlotte Bobcats are shopping small forward Michael Kidd-Gilchrist as a trade commodity.

MAYBE? They'd laugh in our faces if we offered that deal.

MAYBE 1 and 19 for Kevin Love? That one 24 year old guy who averages 18 and 14 is just a "good" starter?

I feel you take the value of draft picks to the extreme.

It's funny that Houston thinks it's going to get more than they gave up to get Robinson. They traded a nice player in Patterson, and two duds in Toney Douglas and Cole Aldrich for Robinson, Fancisco Garcia, and Tyler Honeycut. And they want a future 1st for the guy? Ugh...no.

And has yet to make the playoffs. The guy that puts up stats that don't result in wins. Don't get me wrong, I think he'd be a fine addition to the team, but I wouldn't give away 3-4 starters for him. That's just absurd. He's not THAT good.

I thought the same thing. I guess you can't fault them for trying.

There is talent to be had in this draft. Nerlens has the potential to be a star, and will if he stays healthy.

Would I do 1 and 19 for Love? Yes. Would I trade two key players and 1 and 19? Fuck no. That's ridiculous. Tristan has turned into a very good player and a leader in the locker room. Waiters had a solid rookie season. Love has been injury prone and put up good numbers on bad teams.
