We should have tanked...now we MUST move up!!! Here's why

OHH MAN! THIS IS GREAT!.

Ok lets here some deals to get this guy. Wizard, Drew and the pick for like a 3rd pick to get him.

Even if they don't get Swift or K Martin..etc, at least it makes the pool of top drawer talent deeper. Be thankful for that.

Oh no, Francis3 wants to trade up to get Swift?!

Poor Kenyon Martin must feel so betrayed right now


------------------

 

I would trade for kenyon but it wont happen unless a miracle occurs. He is the best in the draft and no team will pass him up. Its sad that we cant get him, maybe sometime later in the future.

Told you so. For months I preached the Power of Positive Tanking. And no, I don't expect an apology. It's a tankless task.

 

Mango: you are right on the money. The more players who declare, the deeper the draft.

Donnell Harvey also entered the draft, it's not as big a Swift declaring but it's another player into the draft.

THE DEAN HAS WRITTEN

 

This gives us a better chance of landing Moiso. If Swift and Mihm declare I see this happening:

1.LAC - K. Martin
2.CHI - C. Mihm
3.ORL - M. Fizer
4.VAN - S. Swift
5.ATL - M. Miller
6.CHI - M. Peterson
7.NJN - D. Johnson
8.CLE - J. Pryzbilla
9.HOU - J. Moiso

...OK, the Cavs may take Moiso but I think they need a center more than they need a PF with Zydrunas being so injury-prone and they're stuck with Kemp. Or they may look for a 2-guard since Wesley Person has been a disappointment and they could select Corey Alexander.

 

Darius Miles now may also be had at the 9th pick.

Here is hoping Swift is drafted by Vancouver and he refuses to play there which is outside of winning a top 3 lotto pick the only way Swift is a Rocket next year.

Swift may even go #1, if the Clips have any doubts about KM's recovery.


------------------

 

Don't forget we've still got a 6.48% chance of landing one of the top 3 picks via the lottery. So theoretically we've got a shot at landing Martin or Swift (at least, I've gotten it to work on the lottery generator!).
This is going to be our best (only) chance at getting a guy of this caliber, through the draft, since I expect to see us fighting for a playoff spot next year. So at least we have a (small) shot at Swift this year, while we'd have NO shot next year's draft if he stayed in school.
