re: 2011 NBA draft day rumors

Over/Under 3 missed 50 foot three pointers by Jimmer before CP chews him out like a bitch at midcourt.

Push

Chad Ford says that Kyrie Irving's best comparison is Mo Williams and Derrick Williams compares best to Al Harrington. Great talents

Lakers' trade Lamar Odom to the Minnesota Timberwolves for their No. 2 pick.

Lakers trade Odom and artest to 76ers for Igoudala.

Monta Ellis to Lakers for Odom.



Clearly the lakers are looking for backcourt scoring help for Kobe.

I mean the best player played 9 games last year, the second best player is an undersized 4, and the third best player played in 0 games last year.



quality!

If the Cavs want to get back to actually winning some games then they need to pass on him and take Williams.

i think Kyrie is gonna a pretty good NBA PG. I don't see him making Derrick Rose impact, but i wouldn't be surprised to see him get a handful of All-Star selections before he's done.

agreed. I like his game, always seemed to be under control. good size, good shooter, good (but not Wall/Rose-type) athlete.

* Are you keeping up with everything? I'm not. But I can tell you that the Cavaliers are among the many teams aiming to make a deal. The good news for fans: Even if the Cavs don't make any trades, they should still be getting two pretty good players with the Nos. 1 and 4 picks.

* The talks with Washington seem to be very real. The supposed deal? The Cavs trade the fourth pick to the Wizards for the sixth and 18th. It may not happen until both teams see if Turkish center Enes Kanter is still on the board at No. 4. That is who the Wizards want.

* Trading down would make sense for the Cavs. They wanted three first-rounders, and that would be the best way to do it. They could still get a nice shooting guard or small forward at No. 18.

* Meanwhile, ESPN is reporting that the Cavs are trying to get a third LOTTERY pick -- and that they are willing to take back a bad contract from Detroit or Sacramento to do it.

* Back to Kanter. Since late Wednesday, there has been plenty of talk that he'll go either second or third to Minnesota or Utah, respectively. One GM called that a major smokescreen, saying that Kanter will still be there for the Cavs' fourth pick.

* What we do know is the Cavs are among the two or three most active teams in trade talks. What will come of it, of course, is anyone's guess. It appears no one deal is closer than the other. Right now, everything is at the discussion stage. Some are more serious than others.

* Moving on, New York is apparently enamored with both Jimmer Fredette of BYU and Klay Thompson of Washington State. Word is, the Knicks do not want include second-year guard Landry Fields in any deal. But they might if pressed, sources say.

* Illustrious college basketball analyst Dick Vitale has Cleveland State guard Norris Cole going 26th to world champion Dallas.

* Portland is desperately hoping to trade Andre Miller today. Atlanta appears to be a likely landing spot. Hawks could send back Josh Smith, with other players and picks involved.

* Houston has had discussions with Detroit, aiming to move the 14th and 23rd picks for the eighth. Could happen after Detroit actually picks somebody.

* San Antonio can deny it all it wants, but there is truth to the Tony Parker rumors. The Spurs want to move into the lottery, and Parker is their best shot. And would anyone be freaking out if they decided to finally make some changes -- especially after losing to Memphis in the first round of the playoffs.
