If the Draft was today, this is how I would see it playing out.

– Washington would most likely trade #2 pick (Rubio) along with some other players to L.A. for their #3 pick (Thabeet). Wizards will still end up with a Spanish player except it will be Llull.

– Knicks are rumored to take Curry but I think they’ll draft locally and take Flynn to be their franchise point guard. He has more upside than Curry and knows how to play the 1 position already.

– Toronto will take Clark since Marion might not be re-signed.

– Bucks may trade Redd around draft time, so Evans would be the replacement at SG.

– Suns need a SF/PF, so I think they’ll take Daye.

– With Patterson deciding to return, I expect Hansbrough to crack the first round. Chicago really needs a backup PF and Hansbrough would fit right in.

– Though the draft has a lot point guards and the Kings need one, I don’t expect them to take one until the second round (Calathes).

the rubio trade is what i have been thinking too. However, I think that the knicks will take curry since they didn’t draft for need last year with gallinari: they already had chandler. After passing on a scorer like EJ, they won’t pass on curry this time.

i expect Toronto gettin a 7/8 pick….and i think they’ll manage to get Derozen

What if NYC says we want Rubio??

Move up by doing a sign and Trade deal and swapping 1st rounders

good question what if they do well i think they could possibly trade their first pick with someone like al harrington for rubio.

[pistonsmanParticipant]

Ok Portland in the second round has the 55 and the 56 pick now this usually does not happen but it i think a possible trade could be boston’s 58 pick. They could trade the pick for someone like a Eddie House Or a Glen Davis but this pick will only happen if their is someone good left on the board. If not will then they will trade to someone else.

[Mr. BasketballParticipant]

they would need to trade their first #8 overall + wilson chandler + Gallinari + a big contract expiring in 2010 for #2 overall and a big contract expiring later than 2010 = not happening unless they get a top 3 pick.

Harrington won’t work since he’s a free agent in the summer. Since Washington is set at SF and PF, I doubt they even bother with Harrington.

New York’s only trade assets are Chandler, Gallinari, and Hughes. Maybe Washington would bite on a trade of Gallinari, 2009 lottery pick, and future 1st for Rubio and Blatche.

Wait a minute, to the thread starter, why would Washington trade the #2 pick and some players to get the #3 pick?

And to pistonsman, you are crazy if you think the Celtics would trade either Glen Davis or House for the 55th and 56th picks.

Am I just misreading things, or are people actually making these suggestions?

This post is a lil odd i will say.

[rvirsalParticipant]

portland would surely make a splash but i think instead of getting higher, they’d proly go lower and acquire veterans in the process (hinrich perhaps?). okc has a lot of picks so i think they’d proly trade some to go higher in the 1st round (the 25th pick) or for future ones. curry is a lock with the knicks pick if they don’t get 1,2, or 3. spurs would surely get a euro prospect with one of their picks.

llperez22 i agree with u. some ridiculous suggestions. boston gives up eddie house to move up two spots to 55th. Yeah right. Insane
