If anyone on here thinks we are sticking with the 3rd and 11 pick, you are out of your mind. Think back to past NBA drafts and see how many trades go on in the lottery picks. A LOT. We have 2 picks and we don't need to get any younger. There will be some sort of a trade that ATL will be involved in. It may include moving back from the 3 or back from the 11. It may include getting a veteran for one of the picks.
I am expecting a trade, maybe with Boston? Maybe a 3rd for 5th where we also get one of their point guards (Delonte West?)I think if we pull that one off, we get whoever is left amongst Yi, Horford, or Conley. Its a small chance.
Last year, there were 5 trades amongst the top 8 picks. Only us, Charlotte, and Toronto stayed put.
We will not stay put this year at 3 and 11. I promise.
