Griffin pretty obviously. I doubt they move Baron which is what they'd need to do to even consider taking Rubio. Plus Rubio isn't the prospect Griffin is. I wonder where Kaman or Camby will end up. Pretty unlikely they keep all 4 of those bigs.

Id love to see the Clipps trade Camby for Crawford or Maggette. Camby would be a perfect short term player for the Warriors. Clipps need backcourt/wing depth, but Crawford has limited value obviously and Maggette wasn't a great fit for Dunleavy in the past.
Biedrins-Turiaf Randolph-Camby Azubuike-Maggette Jackson-Morrow Ellis-Jennings?
Kaman-Griffin Randolph-Griffin Thornton Gordon-Crawford Davis-Crawford

With Griffin the Clippers look much better aside from the lack of wing/backcourt depth. Griffin, Thornton and Gordon is a pretty solid young core. Kaman, Randolph and Camby are all very nice post players that offer different things. Baron can get the job done if properly motivated and in shape. They really need a backup guard better then Fred Jones or Ricky Davis though. Someone that can guard big time scoring wings.

Dun wants to play Randolph at the 3 next year. Such a brutal coach.

Any draft/trade rumors circulating?
Is Curry still going to NY? Or has that cooled.
BJ Mullens to DET? Who cares.
GST loves Terrence Williams. Hopefully wont take him at 7. Rumors of dealing Wright to whichever team drafts Williams.

Rumors of dealing Wright to whichever team drafts Williams. He's supposed to go before 8. I hope he drops, just because I really do not want Jrue Holiday. He was brutal in college, and I watched his workout with the Kings and it was just pathetic. Nothing impressive about him at all. He's definitely not a PG, and he can't shoot. The Knicks are gonna go with most likely a PG, and seemingly a guard no matter what. I'd take Flynn, Curry, Jennings and even Lawson over Holiday. Or Demar! That'd be sick.

Rumors are still alive that Amare could head to DC on draft night.

Ya, I cant see Holiday going top 12.

Yeah as a Knick fan, I really want no part of Hoilday at #8. For me, its between Curry, Evans, Flynn, Jennings or even Hill.
