    Only thing I could see is trading him for Hill who has a team option. Then we just opt out and clear the cap space.

    I don't think Oubre or Looney are going to fall to 27. The late first round doesn't really look that good so those guys aren't going to slip. But yes, I do think it would involve their other picks. They do want to trade those and try to get veterans. Hill has a decent size contract. I'm not sure Detroit would want it. Plus I'm not sure Hill wants to go somewhere he isn't starting necessarily, unless it's a contender. He's streaky, but good enough he should be a starter somewhere.

    I think i'd prefer Ed Davis anyway ^^ Just a bit better of a rim protector and actually can shoot the midrange a bit, and contract wise will cost us a lot less...

    Yeah I don't think Oubre or Looney will fall, but there is usually a prospect similar to those guys that always falls 10 spots lower than anticipated, at #27 we would be in a good position to pick up the top 20 crumbs i'd say...

    I think Davis is part of the Lakers plans. They might give him up for Jennings, but I would have to think that might be a sticking point if they were trying to make a trade.

    On another note - after watching Winslow's Denver workout, and his interviews, I am really quite down on him as a prospect. Ofcourse he is still one of the better options this draft has to offer, but I think I would rather both Hezonja and Stanley above him now, as weird as that might sound. He has long been considered a top 5 pick but I think his stock is dropping.

    But let's be honest, if Winslow was to fall to #8 it would be considered a HUGE steal by everyone...

    I'm just worried about that jumpshot,

    I'm worried about him in general in this league.

    I think I see more Tony Allen in him than Jimmy Butler,

    That's a great find if it's a late 1st round or early 2nd round pick. Not in the lottery though. I'd pass if all he was going to be was Tony Allen.

    I would assume he has a lot more potential than Tony Allen, he actually does have a fairly strong drive to the basket game. I also see a bit of Lance Stephenson in him, I think he can be a bit of a swiss army knife.

    I'm so glad we didn't sign Lance Stephenson like all of you guys who wanted to over pay him did. I think it's a good trade for the Clippers because they gave up nothing. Plus they have a more talented roster that can have somebody be a bust and still have a chance. Our team doesn't have that. We need to have a very good wing player to have a decent chance of making some noise.

    We would just waive him to get out of his deal. No pick most likely. Maybe their high 2nd.

    You can't just waive a guaranteed contract though.

    I mentioned above that he has a team option

    I get that. I've compared him to MKG. That's a steal at 8 though.

    But in order to trade him you would need his rights which would mean picking up that option right?
