If it seems like it’s obviously a good way to go for Detroit, then it is probably not something Houston would take. In fair deals, both sides are usually uncertain if it was smart. Especially in a case like this where the needs of the two teams aren’t incredibly different.

Hey, I’m not sure what the proper way to vote is because I have now voted for Drummond for both the 3rd and 4th pick and will never get to pick Michael Kidd-Gilchrist because he is now off the board. I’m going with the notion that once the majority rules and someone is slated that you should then pick the same player if he didn’t win the poll on the previous pick.

@ tarsier:
If Houston doesn’t bite at Daye and the 9 pick, throw in 1 or both of the second round picks we have. Detroit doesn’t need another Dajuan Summers or Veron Macklin, who cares if we have to give up a future D-league/summer league player to get 2 of those 5 guys named, who all have potential to be future stars. Joe D could easily make it happen if he tried and was willing to do some reasonable negotiating. I don’t see why it won’t happen, but it probably won’t, its too easy

I went Barnes, but my assumption is that he will be gone before we are picking and Drummond will fall into Joe D’s lap. I think Barnes is the athletic, dynamic, and shooting SF that this team needs to spark some energy out of that spot.
I think the New Orleans – Washington Trade will switch things up a bit. As of this moment, this is how I see the top 10 playing out:
1) New Orleans: Davis
2) Charlotte: Robinson
3) Washington: Beal
4) Cleveland: Kidd-Gilchrist
5) Sacramento: Barnes
6) Portland: Lillard
7) Golden State: Austin Rivers (First big reach of the draft)
8) Toronto: Waiters
9) Detroit: Drummond
10) New Orleans: Perry Jones III

Henson probably wouldn’t make much of an SF. If PJIII is available even at 14, there were a number of crazy GMs, much less 16. There is no guarantee Houston would jump at the offer, but it could be worth presenting to them as it’s pretty fair. Getting PJIII at 14 would be a major steal. Leonard, Moultrie, or Henson wouldn’t be bad either. Unless all of those are off the board, I wouldn’t go for Zeller or Terrence Jones. But if Dumars could get two of those four guys for the ninth pick and Daye, I’d be impressed.

either way it goes, I feel that Harrison Barnes and Bradely Beal are more skilled, but the the potential for Drummond is phenomenal

Looks like Beal is going to the Wiz at #3 now(after the recent trade).

Are you guys retarded??? Why would the Cavs picks Andre Drummond, when they desperately need a shooting guard. Bradley Beal or Harrison Barnes will be a perfect fit for Cleveland.
