30 to perhaps 18? No, not that big of a difference

that's not what i was talking about, i was referring to the fact that the jazz had lost and how much a win/loss of the Lakers would make.

Doh! Lol well that is telling of how much i actually know about it :chuckles: still is really that big of a difference :chuckles:

Would you rather have this years 18th pick or....Ramon Sessions?

 

[KilgoreTrout]

Harden, 8-25, 4-13 from three. That's like, last year's Finals bad...

That's, like, donkey-fellating bad...

 

[RedBlackAttack]

Getting way ahead of myself, but according to DX ratings, the Nos. 18-20 ranked prospects in this class are currently Archie Goodwin (UK), Glenn Robinson III (UM) and Steven Adams (Pitt).

Me personally I don't really care as much at this point, you can have all of it.

I just wanna see kobe play again in the future if he can.

http://puu.sh/2CeCt Is it just me, or does Steve Blake's right tricep look really weird in that photo? Roids?

If Grant's past tendencies to trade up with 2nd-round picks are any guide, perhaps we should be thinking about prospects in the #14-#16 range.

This.

Didn't get a chance to witness Jordan since I was a younger age, but I did watch him win a few titles and finish his career. But Kobe Bryant? Watched him his whole career and loved every minute of it. Just an amazing player, always put on a show for those watching.

I'll gladly take the pick from the Lakers, and hope and pray I get to see arguably my favorite player in the game play again.

It was rhetorical. You were basically saying it wasn't that big of a deal, but that fact is the options were Ramon Sessions or this pick, and this pick is clearly the better of the two. So yea, it's a big deal.

Like I said, i was referring to this game in terms of a lakers win/loss since utah had already lost. Sorry if that was not clear.

It doesn't matter anyways though. congrats on the pick.

Really hoping we don't trade 3 for one again unless it is to get a top prospect like Len. Now if we trade 31 and 33 to move up to get a 3rd guy we like? All for it.

For instance:

Top 5: Porter
18-20: Adams
Trade the other 2 to move up: Dieng

Stud wing, starting C, enforcer? Hook it up.

Stop giving Shawn817 a hard time. He's going to be in misery soon enough when the playoffs start.

We'll see how valuable those 2nd-rounders are in terms of trading. I would like if the Cavs used one on a project or on a promising overseas player who will actually come over and play valuable minutes for them in a year or two.

Na, hes just super cut. Body looks different with no fat on it

 

[MirORich]

I think we should also be considering the possibility of the Cavs trading into #1 IF they deem Noel as the clear cut must have. Obviously this depends on who scores the #1 pick but there are some teams who do not see Noel as the only option at #1. Have to think if Orlando ends up at one and us at 3-4, they might be interested in swapping back, taking Burke or McLemore and getting the Lakers pick plus their second rounder back.
