I can't read twitter at work> Can someone post the rumor screencaps?

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Actually, sorry, it appears to be Salmons for Tayshaun Prince + 22nd.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

So basically Memphis gets Salmons.... Cuts him (only 1M guaranteed) and saves 6ish million.

 

We get a 22nd pick and pay Prince 8M this year.

Tayshaun + 22 for Salmons

 

20 + 22 to move up

 

Me = happy

 

Dunno who I want. Stokes, Dinwiddie, Hairston may be reaches but I like them a lot. James Young may/may not be available but I hope we could be the right spot for him. If someone gets him under control he'll be amazing. But that's a big IF. Jerami Grant could be nice. Wouldn't mind eurostash Saric as a last resort, I guess. I like Capela too. I don't really want Ennis or Payne though.

 

If he's available though, Kyle Anderson is 100% my guy.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

This would be an fantastic deal. Such a deep draft...

 

Re-sign Lowry for four years.

Draft Ennis or another PG (Won't need to pay Vasquez 4-5M even though I like him a lot)

Re-sign Patterson for a decent amount

 

Lots of cap space opening up in the upcoming years to make a play for a FA.

 

Love this.

Actually yeah I really wouldn't be surprised if he tried to move up in the low teens with those two picks.

 

I don't think that I would though. Two picks in this deep draft.... Tempting to just stand pat.

Next offseason:

 

Prince 7.7 mil

Johnson 7.0 mil

Fields 6.3 mil

Hayes 6.0 mil

 

Will all be coming off the books with the core locked up.

 

Things are looking SO bright for this franchise.

[GD]

James Young was in a minor car crash. That's why he's slipping a bit. Missed 5 workouts.

 

I love how guys slip cause of that minor s***. Hopefully we'll nab a good fit.

[dineke]

It will be a good night if they pick up Ennis and capela. Finally we have a gm who acquires picks instead of trading them away!

[GD]

I feel like Masai wants to trade up. That just seems like such a Masai thing to do.

[GD]

Looking like Capela and Ennis/Napier, I'd think.

 

Interesting cap situation. We'll have room to make a deal with Lowry, but we may not have room for both of Greivis and Patman. I'd think they're targeting a PG to replace Greivis. Shame, I didn't mind him.

[Angrioter]

Ang. No.

 

Exum > Smart (almost tied) > Payton >> Ennis >> Clarkson et al

Payton is a legit PG. Exum is a very question mark (But talented); Exum isn't a legit PG and don't have developed his shot to be a SG.

Please no Napier.

[GD]

Please no Napier.

 

Only reason I'd want him is to give Miami just a huge "f*** you." That might be worth it lol.

 

I just want the draft to start already. Can't even wait.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Capela looks like a pretty big sleeper. Awesome shooter and huge wingspan. Looks to be a very efficient player overall.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Tristan Thompson is on the block. I don't want any part of him though.

[GD]

He seems like a nice big off the bench but probably won't be worth the asking price. they should package him and Waiters.

[dineke]

If he trades up and gets smart, that would be amazing.

[GD]

That would be beyond amazing. I'm not even letting myself think about that. I'd need a beach towel.

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Whatever they do, I have complete faith that the Cavs will find a way to screw up this draft. They always find a way.

[GD]

And with the first pick of the 2014 NBA draft, the Cleveland Cavaliers select

 

Doug McDermott

Well nobody predicted Bennett would go #1 so you never really know. I could see something ridiculous like drafting Exum even though they're already covered at the guard spot. They're one of the most incompetent franchises in the history of professional sports.

They would trade down if they wanted Exum though.

[Angrioter]

Orlando traded Afflalo to the Nuggets for Fournier + slot #56

PRO TIP:

 

Do not, and I repeat do NOT, ever google image search "Fournier".

 

Did this once when the Raps were playing the Nuggets and it did not turn out well

[jays_fever]

He's a good rebounder and a good offensive player. His D need works but Id love to have him here if we could flip something like the 22nd pick for him.

 

He also plays for the Cavs so you can't exactly trust their dev. staff

FFS at least give everyone a heads up as to what exactly pops up

 

I dont ever want to know what kind of disease that is

[GD]

jesus f***ing hell

[eastcoastjaysfan]

Guys I warned you.

 

It's really bad.

[jays_fever]

Starting to get really pumped for this draft. Another Canadian likely taken 1st overall, most Canadians every projected to go in the first round, actually Raptor relevant.

 

I don't think I spent a minute watching or paying attention to last years
