I'm begging that the lad Ainge likes at #8 is Tyrell Terry.

Aside from the #14, what would you give up to move the #8?

I haven't seen any mock where Terry isn't available at #14.  No need to trade up.

It would be haliburton at that spot.

Probably the best pg in the draft


Actually, there was "inside runors" that celtics had haliburton circled on the draft board a number of times 

And now recently been rumors of ainge wanting to bring Hampton in for a private workout.

1plus1 could be smokescreening nyk to trade down with us and not someone else so they can get rj and we can get haliburton

[RodyTur10]

If there's truth to this specific report, why would the Knicks leak this information?

I mean I can understand that you want to draw offers by spreading rumors that you might be interested in a trade down, but draft evaluations should stay indoors no matter what.

Even though it is highly likely he will be available at 14? Trading up to 8 only makes sense for someone like Okongwu or Hayes or Halliburton, and something out of character will need to occur for any of them to be available at 8.

I've seen a couple with him going at #12.

I think Haliburton and Okongwu both could be available at *, even Hayes

Edwards
Wiseman
Ball
Deni
And for some reason Obi seem to be the concensus top 5 at this time.

That leaves Hayes, Okongwu, Hayes, Williams and Okoro to gill out the next 5 spots.

I've seen a bunch of rumours that the Suns are interested in him though (they have #10).

Aside from the #14, what would you give up to move the #8?

Based on draft points, you can probably get  8 for 14 and 26 or 30.  These points are from a couple years ago, and is only one of many, but 8 is 1925 points, 14 is 1365 and 26 is 750 and 30 is 605.

I think they can get to 7 with Detroit.  They need players, so offer 14 and 26 to them for 7 (2060 pts).  The Pistons then get two potential starting players.

I mean I can understand that you want to draw offers by spreading rumors that you might be interested in a trade down, but draft evaluations should stay indoors no matter what.

I agree, I suspect the 10 workouts and extended scouting period is leading to a lot of misinformation being leaked. If you are a GM and like a player at this point is it even worth bringing them in for a workout? This just clearly tips your hand. Unless your torn between your rankings on 4-5 guys it just seems like a bad poker move.

I think they can get to 7 with Detroit.  They need players, so offer 14 and 26 to them for 7 (2060 pts).  The Pistons then get two potential starting players.

I have seen similar draft value charts.  I believe that we could get all the way up to #4 from Chicago, potentially:

   14, 26, 30  (Where we stand now)
   8, 26         (after 14+30 for Knicks' 8 )
   4               (after 8+26 for Chicago's 4 )

Essentially, 14 + 30 get us the #8 from the Knicks.  Then 8 + 26 get us to #4 from Chicago.  It is understood that this is all based on the "on paper" value of the picks but I would not have any problem seeing Danny try to consolidate these picks if he is really sure about who he is moving up to take.  The player taken at #8 or even at #14 could end up just as good as the player taken at #4.  This is the draft, it is a crap shoot.  Based on that, maybe having #8 and #26 for example is better than having #4, you get two rolls of the dice instead of one.

As I said, I think it would make things interesting if Danny did try to move up once or twice so for that reason alone, as a fan, I am kind of rooting for that.

[gouki88]

Turning 14 and 26 into 8 would be nice I reckon. I would love for us to be able to nab Haliburton, Hayes or Okongwu at that spot - whoever is available really.

A draft haul of Okongwu, Bane and Merrill would be perfect!
