So the Cav's already have 2 SG's, does this mean his 1st round pick will be his 6th man?

But he added a franchise guy without giving up anything in the top 30. 


Great move by him.  He can always trade Manu for one of the upcoming picks.

[Gainesville Celtic]

Big trade.


Pistons send: Dwyane Wade, 4th rounder (17) 5th rounder (10) and 9th rounder (10)

to Cavs for:

2nd rounder (8 ), 3rd rounder (23), 4th rounder (8 ), 15th rounder (23)

Nice move by both teams --- though i think my offer was a little better (that's subjective of course.... )

Manu is flexible.  I feel like I can put him at the 3 in a pinch.  Or maybe I have more moves up my sleeve.  Either way I'm comfortable with what I have, and I no long have the pressure of getting my pick in before my staff meeting.  Win/win.

The Detroit Pistons will release a statement following the 38th pick of the NBA Draft

[crownsy]

because ive had a ton of PM's on it, here is the kings offical stance on thier pick in the second round:

we would possably consider trading it, but would be looking for a lower 2nd AND a additional pick in the later rounds. we feel that with the talent left on the board, staying in the second round and getting a latter pick is reasonable.

[Big Ticket]

Big trade.


Pistons send: Dwyane Wade, 4th rounder (17) 5th rounder (10) and 9th rounder (10)

to Cavs for:

2nd rounder (8 ), 3rd rounder (23), 4th rounder (8 ), 15th rounder (23)

This is frustrating... how is this legit?  I don't see how it's a good trade for the Pistons.  They lose by far the best player possible in this deal and basically get 2 support-maybe-stars and lose another potential starter (5th round).  Seems like a steal by the Cavs to me.

He traded a 1st for a 2nd, 3rd and the ability to move up in the 4th.  He was happy about it.

So is LBJ at #2 pick 

I made a similar offer to CFF.... with the 2,3 and 4th round picks he should find 3 starters... of course he would have got more if he'd taken my offer 

There are legit issues about whether Wade can stay healthy, and Detroit clearly wanted not to take the chance with him.  Cleveland might (that's still a big might depending on who they each draft) have got the better of the deal, but it's clearly legit.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder

[Roy Hobbs]

I got offered a similar offer for Wade, and I turned it down.  I think beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and I certainly see it as a legit move, rather than one that should be vetoed.

Any yes, the guy who ended up with Lebron at #2 shouldn't be too frustrated about anything.

I just think people are undervaluing how valuable a franchise player like Wade is.... but if both GMs are happy and the Commish okayed it, then it's all good.

Ah, Redz and I offering up the same cliche' within seconds of one another.  Good stuff.

That may be BigTicket, but if you think it was a low offer, nothing is stopping you from offering the Cavs a better one to get Wade. 

[wdleehi]

Jazz trade 3rd(27) and 4th(4)

Raptors trade 2nd(20) and 6th(23)
