    I get the feeling Morey is going after Kanter.

    Derrick Williams is really not a legit 3 OR a 4 in the NBA.

    Its gotta be Kanter.

    My opinion is, if we have to overpay, so be it. Number 2 picks dont come cheap and we got to rebuild, so whats the use keeping worthless components of rebuilding called Luis Scola and Kevin Martin anyways?

    I'd ask Morey to get the Number 2 pick at all costs...Morey better not be trying to seek a bargain and get shot down time after time.

    Come on, if the deal is good enough, Kahn just can't say no, no matter what kind of "reputation" that might be involved. Look at Chris Wallace and the Grizzlies now...

    Do we really need a player like Tristan Thompson?

    Sources say Houston targeting Tristan Thompson if he's there, also have interest in Bismack Biyombo. Kevin McHale wants a big. #NBAdraft

    #NBAdraft buzz: Seeking a big man, #Rockets interested in swapping 14th and 23rd picks with #Pistons for 8th pick, sources tell @CBSSports.

    Thompson is a real nice player with upside bit if we choose him, good bye Luis it's be fun. I would assume some kind of secondary deal to move Scola and pick up the center we so badly need would be in play.

    I really am starting to wonder if Morey is trying to get two separate deals done

    Lee for #10
    #14, #23 for #8

    #10 and #8....combined for the #4?

    This is definitely a possible route to acquiring the pick that nabs Enes Kanter.

    How do we combine the #8 and #4, when we use the #8 to get the #4?

    Good thinking.

    Or #10 and #8 combined for the #3. Then Utah could go hog-a$$ wild: #8, #10, #12. Hell, THEY could move up, if need be. Could even pick Fredette. If he doesn't pan out, 2 out of 3 ain't bad?

    Just found this..

    So I guess using the Pistons pick to trade up to draft Valanciunas might be out of the question. Given that they want him for themselves now...
