Built Ford Tough Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Agree. At the very least Portland gets a better backup than Armon Johnson. I think he is getting traded. It sounds like the Nuggets and Blazers will swap Felton/Miller as well as 1st round picks. Nuggets get Andre Miller back from Portland for Raymond Felton. Probably swap picks From Spears Twitter. If this pick is Faried I definitely think it is true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

?QuestionMark? Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) That's my guess. If Bulls are moving to 23 it has to be Brooks. Could be Hamilton since Deng could defend both swing positions. Edited June 24, 2011 by ?QuestionMark? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 ^ I hope the Wolves select Brooks for us then. I'd rather have Hamilton since he has the potential to develop into a reliable offensive player and take some of the offensive load off of Rose. He is the most gifted offensive player left, so he would be my pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 This makes no sense. Why trade up for a guy who very likely could've been there at 28 and somebody who won't even be in the NBA for at least 3 years? Unless they know something that the majority doesn't, I don't understand this at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dash Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Steep price for Motiejunas but could be worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Steep price for Motiejunas but could be worth it. I wouldn't say steep considering they got Flynn as well. The 23rd pick is whatever as far as I am concerned and I'd imagine the first next year is going to have some protection, possibly lottery protection. Flynn had an awful year this year, but he does have some talent and Motiejunas could be a very good offensive big man. I think it was a pretty damn good trade for Houston. They do need to make some sort of move with their glut of power forwards, though. Paterson, Morris, Scola and Motiejunas is a very crowded position.

?QuestionMark? Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Solid pick for OKC. Jackson's a really good player. Brooks still available and my gut tells me Boston will take him as Allen's future replacement. Add another reason for me to hate the Celtics.

The Regime Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Not so sure about the Jackson pick. Maynor has been more than a capable backup to Westbrook for OKC. Edited June 24, 2011 by Confidence248 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Man, Jordan Hamilton has absolutely plummeted. At one point in time there was talk about him going as high as 10 (when the Bucks had the pick) and now he might even not go in the first round. Are people that concerned about his attitude? His talent is undeniable so it must be. EDIT: Speak of the devil. Edited June 24, 2011 by Built Ford Tough Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) There goes two of the targets I wanted. EDIT: Apparently Mavs have dealt the pick. All other details unknown. espn_macmahon Tim MacMahon Have confirmed that Mavs dealt the pick. Still working on nailing down the details. Speculation is that Mavs have traded the 26th pick to Portland for Rudy Fernandez. The Trail Blazers would the flip the pick to Denver as part of the Miller/Felton deal.
