My Mock Draft:
1. Noel(CLE)
2. Oladipo(ORL)
3. Porter(WAS)
4. Zeller(CHA)
5. Len(PHX)
6. Burke(NO)
7. McLemore(SAC)
8. Bennett(DET)
9. Caldwell-Pope(MIN)
10. McCollum(POR)

and honestly, the rest is probably going to be a crap shoot, lots of international raw talent projected to go in the mid 1st round.

Wow Bennett #1... so good chance to have Canadians as #1 for two years in a row (with Wiggins next year)?!?

A Canadian goes #1, and Cleveland breaks every Mock. Not a bad pick IMO, considering how this years' draft is.

Anthony Bennett was a shocker!
But now Canada may have back to back #1 picks.

And the 76ers trade is horrible. Gambling on another big coming off ACL injury. Give away one of the best up and coming PGs in the game. That 2014 pick is protected (1-3) too. They were really hoping for Burke

Agreed. 76ers! What are you guys thinking! Trade away their best player for a rookie? Damn!

Looks like this deal is done.

Boston trades Kevin Garnett, Paul Pierce and Jason Terry to Brooklyn for Kris Humphries' expiring contract, Gerald Wallace, Tornike Shengelia, Reggie Evans, Keith Bogans (sign and trade), and three first round picks ('14, '16, '18).

I don't like the deal at all for the Nets. Too many guys passed their prime. But I guess their owner has too much money to spend.

I think Pierce and KG are still good for a few years and are definitely above average players.
Starting 5 that could potentially consist of KG, Pierce, Joe Johnson, Deron, and Lopez looks decent to me.

Nets are clearly gunning to win now.....not later...


And looks like Boston is blowing everything up...stock piling 1st rd draft picks and going to tank hard for Wiggins.....


Look for Boston to roll out Rondo, Green and a bunch of scrubs......2013-14 tank nation!!!



The Raps should be following a similar game plan.....tank hard...

Nets became a more legit contender... but only for the next 1-2 years. Boston is conceding the next few seasons to rebuilding... but if they aren't contenders in 2 years, would Rondo stay?

Boston fans are having a rough week:
Having to watch Ray Allen win a ring
Losing in the Stanely Cup finals
Losing Garnett, Pierce, and Doc Rivers on the Celtics
and that bone head Aaron Hernandez

Makes me wonder what will happen to the Red Sox...

great for Bennett.. great guy.. went from top 5 to #1.. crazy...

and philly definitely stupid...tho its not as a bad a Chicago Bulls from 2001, when they traded Elton Brand after his first 2 years, 20/10 each year.. to get Eddy Curry out of high school lol... that move basically set Chicago back like 6 years..

Raps to sign Kabongo???

That was a great trade for Philly. They risk it on high-end talent in Noel, get a pick next year that likely will be a lower lottery pick and are now set up to start tanking and rebuilding properly.

The worst place to be in the NBA is mediocrity and the management of teams like Philly and Boston realize it If only the same could have been said for the Raptors...

It was Brand for #2 Chandler. The #4 pick Curry was their own draft pick.

Noel could become like Chandler if he put on some weight. Weight, that doesn't sound right. :razz:
