They're picking either Bart or Morrison... the latter is becoming the consensus #1 guy of late. Remember when it was possible he'd last to the mid-lottery?
I think the Raptors will pick Morrison but eventually end up with Bargnani by way of either Charlotte or Portland with either Brevin Knight or Telfair coming back.
Anyone...just as long as its not past 5. Why wouldnt Atlanta or Portland not want to move up?
Who knows if Toronto does...but they should try. And THATS considering there is a good trade offered. Dont trade down for the sake of doing so. Atleast try to get back a quality player along with the pick.
The problem with trading down is Toronto may have a wish list...trading down the guys on your wish list could be gone. Because teams ahead take them and/or teams trade down with other teams lookin to move up.
Either way Toronto is in a good position to be in to weigh all options. Just dont fuuuuck up and take a joke or a reach. And yes drafting Tyrus Thomas would be flat out DUMB. Sorry...just dont think he has a place nor is a need.
I still think Tyrus Thomas has a promise from the Bulls. All the new reports saying that he doesn't is just damage control since no one wants to reveal their hand this early.
It looks like the Bobcats are gonna draft a wing player so either Bargnani or Aldridge should still be around at 3.
I think the Raptors will pick Morrison but eventually end up with Bargnani by way of either Charlotte or Portland with either Brevin Knight or Telfair coming back.
That wouldnt be bad at all. Brevin would be great (not saying he is but its an upgrade imo at PG.) but I wouldnt be mad at Telefair...give him a chance and see what happens. He has guys who can play, score, run so the owness is all on him. Make or break. Worth the gamble.
With the Raptors getting Rasho, will they now go Gay with the no. 1 pick?
