Atl is taking an absolute nosedive and BK is in a bit of a limbo if the Celts can get that pick in the 15-17 range...huge win

Really hoping for PJ Hairston with this pick! He is a professional scorer...( a little bit of a knuckle head though )

Agreed, wouldn't complain at all if the Hawks are the 7th need and Nets 8th or vice versa. I mean both are making the playoffs anyway in this terrible conference may as well get the best case scenario...

Imagine if we played in the West? We'd be on our way to two lotto picks

Hey, maybe 2 of the Cavs, Pistons and Knicks will catch fire and overtake both teams, knocking them out of the playoffs. The Cavs ended up being buyers at the deadline, so maybe they'll improve.

Be very pleased if Celts land #5 and #16.

Exum or Rnadoe with #5

McDermott or Young with #16.

Dream draft scenario is Parker and  Saric

I wouldn't hate a trade up for Smart if he slides.

I think the question will be if Minnesota is happy with #5,#16, sully and green???

But it could work out nice for Cs with both teams just making or just missing playoffs. There should be some decent talked available at the Cs second first round pick.

Lucky pick #5, worked last time....

I'm not much for predictions, but I can't see the Nets not being the #3 seed in the East when it all shakes out.

Nets have an easy last 30 games -- 21 against sub-.500 teams.  Nets should get the 3 seed.   Still not so bad as they probably will still be behind the 8 seed in the West. 

If you told me pre-season that the C's would get the 20th pick from the Nets this year I would have been pretty happy.

I could see Danny combining our two first round picks to trade up a couple of spots to get the player he wants most, such as Parker. Or the Aussie PG.

Can you see the teams in those spots being willing to trade down?

I see Exum as almost a lock right now to be the 4th pick.  Say if Philly has it with already MCW on their team they could be a good trading partner.  Of course maybe they could play together if Exum is more of a combo guard.

I think what could be realistic is if either the 76rs, Bucks, Jazz, Magic, and even possibly the Kings end up with the first pick and take Embiid, their current center could go immediately on the block.  We could then be a possible trading partner with our first round picks and assets.

...Why would a team in the top 3 trade down?

as well as defenseless.  ;D
