I think he's trying to get people to move around in the Draft. Whether its picks moving, or TEAMS moving up or down. If there is a trade to be made, I think the most likely candidate has to be Washington for the #5. The one player that keeps getting left out of the conversation for top 5 picks is Jordan Hill. He's projected to go #7 but only because other teams need PG/SG's. He is the third best big man (if u consider Blake BIG) in the Draft. He is more "sturdy" than Thabeet, younger, more offensively polished, and ATHLETIC. I almost forgot, he too(like Thabeet) has only been playing a couple of years. I would definitely want this guy on our squad to learn behind Cliff Ray, and develop toughness by watching KG and Perk go to work. I think this is Dannys secret plan. DO IT!!!!!!!

So since we now know that it would be Perk that we would be giving up for a top 5 , who do you think Danny would draft?

The obvious choice would be Thabeet as we would now have a hole at Center. However I feel Danny might see either Harden or Evans as a future All-Star. I have read a few articles lately about the draft and they all seem to be comparing Harden's game to Paul Pierce.

If that was the case then Danny would have to feel confident that he could bring in a championship calibe Center in via free agency. Rasheed? Zaza? Gortat?

I am going to say he is trying to trade up for Harden .

PG: Rondo    / Marbury
SG: Ray      / Harden
SF: PP       / Grant Hill
PF: KG       / BBD
 C: Rasheed  / Vet Min

Since where sheed is a center?
and ZZ and Gortat championship caliber centers?
sorry that just is a bad baseline imho
Once a CrotorNat always a CROTORNAT  2 times CB draft Champion 2009-2012

Nice to be back!
