Paul George is going to the raptors i have a feeling!!

[James McGowan]

I don't think the Bulls will draft a C unless they think Omer Asik is going to be a bust before he even comes over from Europe.

So i have heard it is a done deal that the Raps are taking Bradley. As long as he's available of course. Paul George would be a nice immediate replacement for Turk though.

[Glen Grunwald]

yeah I'm not a big Bradley fan I really don't think we need him I think having Paul George and Demr together would be better for the Raptors but im not there GM so i can't stop them. Also i could see them drafting a big guy if they think bosh is on his way out

[Glen Grunwald]

I find that this draft is so weak like before we would know for sure whos going where now like the top 5 is a lock but from like 6 to 20 anyone of those guys can go its wired I find alot of mock drafts switch like everyday

[Phil Jackson]

Bradley is a very good on the ball defender and is very quick and speedy so I think that is why they like him. They could play him at 2 and move Demar to the 3. I am also pretty sure the plan is draft around bosh and be prepared to make lots of trades (Turk for sure, Jose and/or Jack are strong possibilities and maybe Bargnani but probably not). Colangelo certainly isn't gun shy about trades and can see when he makes moves that dont work out (therefore rebuilt teams 3 yrs in a row). BC is prepared to make a team to Bosh's specs and the problem this year was never offense so I am expecting this summer to see alot of moves for defense and athleticism.

[Glen Grunwald]

Yeah I just think BC wont be moving Bargnani anytime soon i think he will do great also think getting George would be great for the Raptors I can see Bosh going for sure which is dumb when his saying he wants a team around him. The raptors are that team but if bosh wants to go to another place let him he could of worn a mask on his face and played the games. and we would of been in the playoffs that pisses me off..

[Larry Bird]

Pacers are looking to moe down, but if they stay where they are I will be pissed if they select Ed Davis. I'm tired of them taking project players. We need someone that can contribute right away. I would rather see Xavier Henry or Greg Monroe at that pick (if he's available)

[Glen Grunwald]

Yeah I really don't see the pacers taking another PF i see them taking a SG or something maybe a PG if anything Avery Bradley would be good for you guys but I hope they start to look what they got around Granger because its not much

[Glen Grunwald]

We’ve got to be prepared for life with and without Chris and if that means drafting a big — and this is a draft with multiple bigs that we feel are pretty decent — then so be it," said Bryan Colangelo. "But if there’s another player on the board we feel has more talent, we’ll look at that as well.”

from that being said i think if they take a Big with there pick where looking at Life without Bosh

[Stan Van Gundy]

Raptors end up taking Davis and Alabi. Very good draft IMO.
