I'm inclined to believe NONE of these trade rumors are true. Now, even ESPN is backtracking on that Grizzlies-T'Wolves swap.

BATUM IS NICE THO!
IMO I think Portland made the right choice if this were infact true. Very young player who already is getting better every year. Him+ROY+ a healthy Oden + CP3 or Ray allen (hopefully)= check sig lol

Andy Rautins will not sniff a NBA roster in the regular season....his best bet is to make good $ playing overseas....

I'm hitching my wagon to Dom Jones and Darrington Hobson as late round 1/early round 2 steals. Maybe Trevor Booker and Varnado as well.

I'm seeing no difference between Rautins and Matt Walsh....
for all his positives, Rautins has SEVERE limitations in his game....who knows if he'll even be drafted....

Andy Rautins is better than Matt Walsh, but I dont know what that is saying.
Also, Trevor Booker's path to 2nd round steal has been paved by the likes of Millsap and Blair.

Chad Ford's mock 2 pages back has him as the #59 pick to the Magic.
He is a smart player with a great shot...he deserves a spot on a bench

Even if Rautins is not drafted, he will make a roster...his biggest flaw is his defense...(and him being white and "unathletic")
the positives outweigh his negatives
- He is prob the best shooter in the draft
- great passer
- knows how to lead
- can create his own shot

IMO Rautins style of play would fit on teams such as:
Dallas Mavericks
New Jersey Nets
Denver Nuggets
Golden State Warriors
New York Knicks
and I'm sure there are others that go offense first.

Tuesday Night Draft Buzz
Our Mock Draft v. 6.1 came out early Tuesday morning, introducing a number of serious shake-ups in the lottery. As the day has worn on, I’m continuing to hear a lot of rumblings from teams. Here’s the latest update :
- As I first reported on Tuesday, the Nets are now leaning toward Wesley Johnson with the No. 3 pick. But the key word here is leaning. Nets sources suggest that Johnson at three is not a done deal and that Favors, and to a lesser extent, Cousins are still in the conversation.
- Sources in Minnesota are saying that they’ll take Derrick Favors at No. 4 if Turner and Johnson are off the board. The T-Wolves may be bummed by this development, but I think it's a great deal. The team lucked into Rubio at No. 5 last year and get a steal with Favors at No. 4 this year. Those two together could be awesome down the road.
- The Kings have not made up their mind at No. 5, but a well positioned league source is telling me that they continue to lean toward DeMarcus Cousins with the pick. While there isn’t totally unanimity in the Kings’ war room, that’s where the consensus lies. Greg Monroe is still in the conversation and a trade isn’t out of the realm of possibility but if the draft were to happen tonight, Cousins would be the man.
- If the Kings take Cousins at 5, we’re left with an interesting scenario at No. 6 in Golden State. We’ve had Greg Monroe pegged there for a week, but after a poor workout, the Warriors are now leaning away from Monroe. A plugged in source tells us that Ekpe Udoh is now the favorite to land in Golden State if the DeMarcus Cousins and Derek Favors are off the board.
- If Cousins and Udoh are off the board, the Pistons will be choosing between Monroe or Ed Davis. As I first reported this morning, Al-Farouq Aminu fell out of the conversation on Monday after he refused to workout in Detroit. While our Mock Draft has the Pistons drafting Davis, that will change if Monroe is on the board. Sources insist that the Pistons have both Cousins and Monroe ahead of Davis and the other big they like, Ekpe Udoh.
- At No. 8 we continue to believe that Al-Farouq Aminu is a lock at the Clippers.
- At No. 9, the Jazz will have a tough decision between Ed Davis Luke Babbitt, Gordon Hayward and Xavier Henry. While nothing is definitive, it looks like Davis has the lead, followed by Babbitt.
- Speaking of George, the Grizzlies did have him in for a workout today, but I had a few of the facts wrong from Tuesday's mock. This was actually George’s first workout for Memphis (he canceled an earlier one) and owner Michael Heisley ended up not attending the workout. The Grizzlies would still take George if he’s on the board, but if the Pacers take George, it will be Luke Babbitt.
- Talk of the Wolves trading the 16[sup]th[/sup] pick may be premature. While the Grizzlies and Wolves have spoken, sources say there’s no deal yet. The Wolves continue to talk to teams as high as 5. Especially with it looking more and more like they’re getting Favors at 4, they’d love to add another athletic wing to the mix.
- Add the Cavs, Mavs and Wizards to the list of teams we discussed on Monday trying to move up in the first round. Neither the Cavs nor Mavs have first round picks, but both desire big men. The Wizards already have two picks (1, 30) in the first but would like to add another in the teens. Right now it appears that the Miami Heat are exploring the possibility of selling their pick (1
.
- Finally, it looks like the Bucks aren't done dealing. This afternoon they traded Dan Gadzuric and Charlie Bell to the Warriors for Corey Maggette. Now sources say that the Bucks and Nets are in serious negotiations on a deal that would send Chris Douglas-Roberts to the Bucks for a second round pick. With the addition of Maggette and Douglas-Roberts, you have to wonder if the Bucks may look at something other than a wing with the No. 15 pick in the draft

Would it be really smart of us to take Favors? If that is the case take Cousins and shipp out Ryan Hollins. Kevin Love should be the starting PF for this team if they move Al and same if they move Love. I personally haven't seen favors played but, I still think they need to have either Love or Al on the team next year.

Milwaukee will give Nets the 44th pick in Draft for Chris Douglas-Roberts, league source tells Y!. Now Jersey holds Nos. 3, 27, 31 and 44.

Way to add another wing
However, that's a deal too good to pass up. I like it.

What the hell is NJ trying to get accomplished? Trying to further move players for FA?

Bucks
What percentage of 2nd round picks even hit the floor, even less last after their first year in the NBA? Great trade for the Bucks.
We're going to see a good number of trades tomorrow I believe.

But I thought CDR was a vital part of the Nets "promising young core"?
Hmm... don't tell me people have be overrating the Nets players that won 12 games this past season, that can't be it.

CDR is complete garbage. You guys don't know what your talking about. If he played half as good as he talked, he'd be worth keeping.
Hes being traded for future considerations....that says something about him. Glad his %$% is outta NJ....YES YES!
