Ok lets hear all your thoughts....
We know the draft will start off Lebron, Darko, Carmello, but what happens after that?
I think the Raptors are in a very intriguing position, and they are enterataining many offers. If you haven't heard, one of the hot trade rumors involving them is Latrell Sprewell and the #9 pick for Lamond Murray, Jerome Williams and the #4 pick of the draft. I'm still thinking about this deal, I think it helps the Knicks more, but the Raptors do get a scoring presence to help Vince out.
If the Raptors keep the pick they will most likely take Chris Bosh. He's highly touted, but who knows how soon he can contribute. I think the Raptors are looking for immediate help.
I think the general feel from the whole East is that they need to do something to shift the balance of power back over. New Jersey seemed like the best team in the east, head and shoulders above everyone, yet they got schooled in the finals. They most likely would have struggled with the other 3 injured powerhouses in the West, LA, Dallas, or Sacramento. With Payton talking about signing with the Lakers, I think alot of teams feel a sense of urgency to "shake things up".
I've heard about Rasheed Wallace going to Minnesota so both teams can head in different directions, or possibly Nash and Lafrentz going to Toronto for Antonio Davis, Morris Peterson and the #4.
I think many teams feel this sense of urgency because they don't want to watch San Antonio or more likely LA win it for another 3 years.
What are your thoughts on possible draft day trades, draft day sleepers (Barbosa
) or simply who you think your team should draft?
