If we could trade up get Jabari or Wiggins that would be unbelievable for the renewed Hornets brand

I think trading both picks and a future 1st will only get us to maybe 5 or 6

Yeah I realized that once i remembered the top picks this year are valued higher than any top picks in years, so i edited. I really think Wiggins is going to be a star and we should try whatever possible to get him

If that gets us Randle I'd do it in a second!

Thanks man!

we might get him at 9 anyway.

I've seen some mocks having us draft Shabazz Napier with our second pick in the first round.  He's an interesting player, but I don't know drafting another Connecticut guard.  I'm going to look at some highlight vids of him.  We definitely need another guard to back up Kemba.

I bet he is there but Cho pases on him.

No5 or no6 could land us Randle, Vonleh, Smart, or even Exum. I'd do it in heartbeat.

I'd love to have either Smart or Exum, but then what are you going to do at SG with nothing else left but a 2nd Rd pick and free agency? I suppose at that point you'd have to go after Lance Stephenson. Not saying I'm a fan of that move, but it'd be clear that's probably their plan.

you would trade 3 first round picks for one unproven guy? i mean, 3 first rounders for Love or Rondo or a proven player in the league is one thing, but that is crazy IMO..

[chknwing]

I would trade both picks this year, 2 future 1st, & a player for the #1 or #2 pick

Something about Randle just doesn't fit. I suppose his comparison is Zach Randolph, and although Randle is more athletic than Randolph, I'm not sure if Randle can "bully" NBA players in the post like he did in High School, and with his short arms and lack of a consistent jumper, he's a big-time risk. You just drafted Zeller, and since I'm not sure how much you're going to be paying McRoberts to keep him, it would make sense, but I would care if Cho passed on him unless he choose someone like McDermott, which would be stupid.
