I think he's the best foreign prospect in the draft( yes, better than Rubio). 6'8" do it all energy/huslte big man. Great finisher and great athlete. This guy would look grrreeat next to D'wight. Make it happ, Otis. :clap:


:lol: , Where have you been the last few weeks? :P

A LOT of Teams have been clamoring and jockeying in the 20's Range Picks trying to one-up each other to Draft him.

He was slated a mid-2nd Rounder Months ago, and has shot up Draft Boards into a 20-Range 1st Rounder leading up to the Draft.

Which Orlando Magic player might be moved in the NBA draft?


Rafer Alston, Tony Battie, Anthony Johnson and J.J. Redick all have expiring contracts next season that could help free up the cash, with Battie making the most money out of the lot ($6.2 million).

One wrinkle that could throw things into a tizzy, though, is that agent Lon Babby represents both Turk and Battie. So it might be hard for General Manager Otis Smith to sell trading or cutting one of Babby's guys while paying top dollar for the other.

If we lose Hedo I would love to try to get Earl Clark or Casspi.

Kupchak says first-round trade likely

EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- The NBA champion Los Angeles Lakers will likely unload at least one of their three draft picks.

They have the 29th pick in the first round and the 42nd and 59th picks in the second round of Thursday's draft.

General manager Mitch Kupchak said Wednesday that there was a "better than even likelihood" the team would get rid of its first-round pick.

"There's a lot of interest, absolutely," he said. "Certain teams, they may want to preserve cap space for the next year or two and they may need to add players. A good way to add talent at a fixed price is to have a lot of draft choices and then you can still maintain cap space a year from now."



Could one nba finalist help out the other??





Knicks got the pick....

Why have a clock if you're not even going to follow it? The Grizz's clock expired nearly 2 minutes ago.

Me too. This guy would be a steal and would fill a huge need for us, rebounding!

I really hope we buy a top 2nd rounder and select either Blair or Chase Budinger!!

Personally, i dont get why Chase is so lowly rated. The guy is super athletic, can score, can shoot and is not a guy you have to worry about off the court.

blair does seem like the kind of guy who goes in the 2nd round and ends up good

id be cool with budinger too, a lot of upside on that one... patty mills too

considering we have 8 guys getting paid 67 million i think having a few cheap 2nd rounders on the bench wouldnt be much of a problem
