Dash Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Houston continues to offer the 14th and 23rd picks in the draft to move into the top 10, and could have a willing partner with the Detroit Pistons at No. 8. The Pistons have told teams they won’t trade down until they see who drops to them on draft night, sources said. In what could be an interesting window into the Pistons’ preferences, San Diego State forward Kawhi Leonard worked out for Detroit on Monday, and shortly thereafter cancelled his Wednesday workout with the Milwaukee Bucks, who have the 10th pick. Several executives believe Leonard may have left Auburn Hills with a guarantee. http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/news;_ylt=rhsts_fcf?slug=aw-wojnarowski_josh_smith_hawks_nba_draft_062011 So in order for a potential deal to go through Leonard may have to be off the board? I would love for this deal to go through especially if Valanciunas is still on the board somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted June 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2011 The Pistons are seriously considering the Rockets' offer -- especially if Kawhi Leonard and Tristan Thompson are off the board. The target at No. 14? Markieff Morris. Morris wowed the Pistons in a big workout on Tuesday and they feel he could still be on the board there. http://espn.go.com/blog/truehoop/post/_/id/30611/latest-buzz-picks-nos-8-11-the-trade-zone Its unlikely that both of those players are going to be off the board though. Leonard will probably be gone but certainly not Thompson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
