NOP WITH OKC

Would people trade our 6th pick to OCK for their 12th pick, Lamb and Perry Jones III?

I’d do it if we miss out on Burke, Porter or McClemore

Thoughts?

Vasquez/Rivers/Roberts
Gordon/Lamb/Miller
Webster or Budinger/Jones III/Miller
Davis/Anderson
Lopez/Smith

12TH PICK: Gobert or Saric



There is increasing chatter among NBA executives that the Thunder -- who have two first-round picks and young talent in Jeremy Lamb and Perry Jones -- will look to make a major move on draft night. If they keep this pick, Saric, a smooth, mobile big man one executive describes as "the best passing big man in the draft," is a nice find. Saric isn't the bruising post-up scorer Oklahoma City craves, but he is exactly the kind of high-potential talent GM Sam Presti loves to develop.

Yes, but there's no way OKC would do this trade.

The okc GM might as well resign and throw in Kevin Durant before he does it.

If there is a player they love... Say Len or Bennett... they'd probably do this trade. Or if not this trade exactly, maybe Lamb (or PJIII) and 12.

I'd do it for Lamb and 12 if I'm Pelicans. Not sure about PJIII.

Jones III not a sf but I do this trade for in a heart beat.

Are you joking??? Lamb, PJIII and the 12th pick to move down 6 spots? We'd be crazy to not take that deal and there's no way OKC would do it. In my opinion anyway...

Saw some decent shirts in Dillard's at Oakwood the other day, but didn't check the price. I searched hard for a nice red hat and got one off Lids.com.

#6 pick for jeremy lamb and #14 pick. Take shabazz, saric or giannis at 14
Trade Gordon and GV for Cousins
sign tyreke evans and budinger

rivers/roberts
tyreke/lamb
bazz, saric or giannis/budinger
davis/ryno
cousins/lopez

now that team is sick with potential and is deep as hell.

Haha, you are essentially trading Gordon and Vasquez for Cousins and Reke. Highway robbery.

Hooray to the youngest team in NBA history...

Sign me up for the original trade though. I wouldn't mind Jones or Lamb and then possibly landing Saric, Gobert, McCollum, etc in the teens.

We can't possibly miss as bad as we did last year w/ Rivers, plus the thought of a possible Anderson, Davis, Jones front court... I can dig that.

Okay HornetGuru, your trade ideas are fun to read and I enjoy them because you seem to put a bit of effort into them. But ya gotta stop thinking that the Pelicans are going to trade for DeMarcus Cousins. It's simply not going to happen, he's too much of a knucklehead. And NOLA is too close to his hometown of Mobile not to be influenced by his homeboys. Now maybe in three, four or five years when he's matured some there may be a chance of it, but I don't see Sacramento wanting to trade him unless he becomes more of a knucklehead in which case I wouldn't want him anyway.

I'll put it to you this way, if the Pelicans trade for Cousins anytime in the next three years, I'll buy you a meal in the New Orleans restaurant of your choice. How about it?

only if dario is still on the board

2k.......

Wait Shabazz is lasting till 14 now :hihi:?

Edit: it was 'or' I see now. Also I haven't seen giannis sniff the first round in any mock.

Here's the first three links I clicked on and 6 mock drafts (the third link has four). Of those six, Giannis is in the first round in four of them. Just saying at least some people have him sniffing the first round.

dont think bazz lasts that long im saying its a possibility, also giannis is guaranteed to go first round, most likely top 20, he wont last much longer than that and just about every mock ive looked at out of about 20 giannis is in the first round in 19/20 of them. :hihi:
