Interesting. Good for Ainge to ask.

Apparently, Orlando has offered #4, #12, and Afflalo for the #1.

What could we give them?? Green 6 17 and future picks?? Don't think thats what they want.

[j804]

Hmm Sully and handful of picks he gets to go home with James, they can package our picks for a vet too

I think the big issue is that they don't know what they want.

Not related to the #1, but if Parker falls to #3, I bet Danny gets PHI on the phone quickly...

The article seems to think we would take wiggins over parker

[WeMadeIt17]

Would be so happy to get Parker. But don't think he falls to 3. Ford thinks Wiggins and Parker will go 1 and 2. If we could do something around Green or Sully and picks i'd be all for it. We could end up looking like this.

Rondo
Bradley
Parker
KO
Asik?

[WeMadeIt17]

I'd be ok with Wiggins too.

That's a good return.

[WeMadeIt17]

Or what if we flipped Green to the Hornets for 9 then say trade 6, 9, and Sully for 1. Still hold on to pick 17.

Get a hold of yourself. Nothing worse than getting caught up in an impulsive bidding frenzy.

Lol i know i am kinda losing it. All this draft talk has got me losing my marbles. I am sure Danny was making the call that every GM made.

This actually makes me pretty angry at Danny. He easily could have tanked harder to get us a better chance at a top pick. He very easily could have released Humphries and Bayless who were unrestricted free agents. That alone could have gotten us a few more losses...

So he chooses not to follow in the tracks of ORL, PHI, and MIL telling us that he's not really crazy about this draft class. And now he's trying to land the #1 pick??? What changed?

Not only did choosing not to tank take us out of the running for Parker and Wiggins, it also is now making it more difficult to make a trade for Love.

At this moment, Danny not tanking harder is looking like a huge mistake.

and is emphatically denied in his requests haha.  I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility that Parker could go 3rd.  Doesn't Milwaukee really like Exum?  Plus, they've already got the Greek Freak haha as their sf of the future, so I don't know how, or where, Jabari would fit in, even though you should always take the bpa.  Oh well, at least Danny called.  There's no harm in that.
