Gambit99 Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I'm participating in the "Millionair Mind Intensive" at the GWCC, so this morning while crossing towards the CNN Center, I ended up walking and talking to Billy Knight: (it's after midnight and I have the 3rd day left which starts at 7:55am, so highlights) 1. He's extremely high on Yi and will pick him at #3, depending upon his meeting with the Chinese government on Thursday (they want him on the West Coast). 2. If not Yi, it will be Al Hortford. 3. Conley will not be #3, he beleives that he may be there at #11 or he'll choose Law or Citt (could tell which one he liked the most) 4. IF Oden falls to #3, he'll take him, but Oden has pins in his hip, planter (sp)fichitius and Billy only give him a 10yr career(Billy will take those 10yrs). 5. Hell no to (sp)Hawhls. Slow, foot work and all around bad. Billy actually turned his face up and nearly cursed. 6. No mention of Wright when we talked about acquiring talent...he thinks we've acquired the talent and now just need to add the finishing touches. 7. He loves the city of Atlanta.

AtLaS Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 If this is true, I'm glad to hear that Wright and Hawes aren't being considered. There is absolutely no way Oden falls to 3. I'm kind of saddened that he's relying on the #11 to get the PG, because Conley (most likely) won't be there. I'll be happy with Critt/Law though. Hopefully he wasn't just blowing smoke to you, he may not want the actual fans to know what he's thinking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrReality Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I like the sound of it but I'd be shocked if he were that open to a stranger given the remifications of what is involved. Sounds like there is a lot of skepticism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jerrywest Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 If this is true, Memphis will not lower trade value of Gasol, because they'll get their man Horford at #4. BK isn't that stupid to leak this info. Can anyone varify if BK is meeting the Chinese govt on thursday? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BossTweed Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 Are you sure that was Billy Knight? It may have just been a very knowledgable homeless person that reads Hawksquawk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mountain_jim Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 I could see BK leaking this if he's targeting someone other than Gasol from a team that covet's Yi and wants to drive down their price - a Boston or Golden State or whoever. I agree this would hurt our leverage with Memphis though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds like there is a lot of skepticism. I've talked to BK a couple of times at games, and I've come away shocked by how forthcoming he was in anwering questions. His public personna with the media and the way he is when he talks to fans is totally different. I'm not saying that the above conversation did or did not take place...I'm just saying that it wouldn't shock me if BK would share his opinion.
