With Ben McLemore looking so-so and Nerlens Noel injured, talk at NBA Combine suggests this is year No. 1 draft pick finally gets traded.


Would you trade #5/6 + 2015/17/19 picks for #1? (the price paid to move from 3 to 1 in the CWebb Penny Hardaway trade). In theory those future picks should all be in the 20s.

Who are you looking to draft at #1? If anything Pelocans will trade out #1 if surprisingly the Pels win it.

No, I don't think there's a sure superstar in this draft worth that much.

Not with this draft class.


The Warriors paid that much for Webber because he was seen as a top-level prospect along the lines of Shaq, whom the Magic already had.

This class is looking closer to the 1998 class, which had Michael Olowakandi go 1st overall but had other good guys in the top 10 like Vince Carter, Antawn Jamison, Dirk, and Paul Pierce.

No way. I think there are a lot of nice players to be had in this draft, but no one worth giving up that much for, especially with the amount of improvement the Pels need. It isn't like they are one player away from contending for the Finals.

IMO the best play is to pick up a solid player this year who will hopefully develop into a starter. I think there are about five or six players who will be solid, plus several more who may or may not develop well.
