eh, theres so many question marks with everyone at the 9 range, I’ve kind of resigned to the fact we probably won’t be adding anyone special. So I’m open to whoever we pick, and if we get lucky and he pans out, great, if not, whoever it is will probably at least be a good 3rd big and we’ll at least have addressed that need..

We’re going to need to pull off some trades and make a good FA signing or two from now on to finih building this team. You can only build through the draft for so long. Eventually those high picks start to result in wins like happened this year, and you end up picking later and later. Hard to build a whole team through the draft when you are picking later and later every year. Time to start using the other avenues.

He barely has any to begin with, I don’t see how drafting Jones III would hurt it more…it’s already at an all-time low

While I completely agree about swinging for the fences with the draft, but if we drafted PJIII what would that do to Austin Daye’s trade potential? I think it would tank the hell out of it.

It depends on where Mr. Lottery decides Darren Williams is going. D-Will and Howard to Lakers as make up for the C-Paul debacle? If we’re going to go with conspiracies, let’s at least do it right.

Can’t remember a draft so deep with so many talented players and bigs. It`s up to us to take advantage of it. If we can get a top three pick we might get Davis or maybe two first round picks if Portland agrees. That would be cool too.

Leonard or Jones at 9 and if both are available, I’d take a fly on star potential and draft Jones. Try to push a Daye trade for a low first and pick up a Melo or Festus…

don’t trust anything right now. The GM’s are tossing out ridiculous ideas to try to sway the competition.

I would take Jones III at nine if he was there but I don’t see him getting past Golden State…then again they did pass on Monroe for Epke…they might decide to take another nobody

If we end up with the 9th pick, I think Perry Jones is our best option. At least over Sullinger and Zeller

+1 for optimism but its going to the newly called Brooklyn Nets as a gift
