Bledsoe to the Knicks or Knight to the Sixers.

I can see 1 of these happening on draft night (or after).
We can only hope! :)
Both please!

Bledsoe for Butler. Call it a day.
I call it a daydream.

Probably because they are still under the illusion of winning now.
my impression is that mcdo just wants to make the playoffs.

I just hope he doesn't pursue that goal at the expense of the long run.

Bledsoe for Butler. Call it a day.
I think either Rose or Butler will be dealt this offseason. The Knicks have been linked to Rose who looks passed his prime. So ofcourse the Knicks want him.

Jimmy Butler is one of my favorite players in the NBA. He did have a major injury to end the year though. You wouldn't be able to get him for Bledsoe. have to have picks and/or young players involved.

Yeah, I would expect it would take Bledsoe, Len and the #4. But they would ask for Booker.

I just don't think they'd want Bledsoe after everything they've been threw with Rose. I think he has a better shot going to NY because of Hornecek and The Knicks wanting to make a "splash". Hornecek and Bled supposedly had a really good relationship too.

I don't care where he goes, as long as he (and Knight) go(es).

Who do you want at 4,13,28 Indy

Just give me two names for each pick...lets assume only Ingram and Simmions are off the board

I don't watch college hoops, so I am basically going on reading alone. And at 28 I have no idea. I want to make sure we get Sabonis in this draft. I don't care where we take him. From what I have read, he is a smart player, and we don't have many of those. We need that more than anything, in my opinion. I don't know if he will be there at 13. As far as 4, I can't decide between the guys we keep hearing about. I do not think I want Chriss, so I assume that is who we will take.

I'm scared we will take Chriss or some chucker guard who we won't have minutes for because we won't trade either of our "almost all-star" starting guards.

Would you do that trade? Or Knight, Len, #4? Or <PG>, #4, #13? I would.

I think chicago is in the classic posistion to try to start over, but they will want to trade Rose and keep Butler.

Croatian 7-footer Dragan Bender and Washington’s 6-foot-10 Marquese Chriss had unannounced, individual workouts with the Suns in Phoenix.

I don't know how unannounced that was, we knew for days that Bender was coming on Saturday. Chriss on the other hand was supposedly not working out for teams, only hosting them at his pro day.
