David Stern’s way of fixing the mess he made with the Chris Paul trade. Give the Hornets #1 pick. Also doesn’t hurt that he also owns the Hornets at the moment as well.

Told you !
The 60 out of 100 chance – stay at 7 – occurred, as it will 60 times out of 100.

What if after doing some of the worst trades ever, after tanking shamefully a season, after doing terrrible job with coach-players-staff….. you promise to keep your pick and you just lose it?

If the Warriors get a top 3 pick, it would be sweet as we are almost guaranteed Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Thomas Robinson or Andrew Drummond at worst. It’s either top 3 or #7.

I was saying the same thing as Rambo Dave and Harp all along…Cross your fingers for the pick as an asset to trade not use on more limited youth…

@RamboDave – I’ve been saying our top 7 pick, Curry and filler for Rondo for awhile now, but I doubt Boston will do it now that he’s on display as one of the top 5 players in this league, given his amzing overall abilities. That being said, if we score the #1 pick (Anthony Davis), I think the Celts do it. Anything less than the third pick and Boston will laugh at us.

Also, don’t know why people want us to use our top 7 pick on a big guy. The #30 pick will get us one of two big players who will make a difference – either Festus Ezell from Vandy (center) or Kevin Jones from WVU (PF).

Trade our pick and pieces for a proven star!

Why gamble at all on this lottery? To make sure that there is ABSOLUTELY NO CHANCE that we lose this pick by falling to the 8th spot, I would give up the best of our 2nd round picks, plus cash, to Utah in exchange for modification of the terms of the stupid ass trade that Mullin made. Utah would then get our pick next year. Remember, we have too many rookies anyway. We don’t need so many picks.

However, it should be pointed out that we need to keep the # 30 first round pick from San Antonio because, we will not be able to trade that # 7 pick unless we have two first round picks. There is an NBA rule that you cannot trade first round picks for more than two years in advance, unless you have two first round picks in that year that you make the trade.

That is why the Warriors made the deal with San Antonio, and why they want to hold onto the # 30 pick. They need 2 first round picks in order to make a BIG BIG trade.

Warriors could package the #7 pick, along with Curry, to Boston to get Rondo. And, I guarantee you that is what they are thinking right now.

yes its tomorrow At 5. AND a lottery pick is not a good gamble- thats different than deandre jordan which I too am glad did not happen. Its critical for the warriors that they have a lottery pick this year, hopefully for a backup big. Losing the number thrity when they have an early secpond round pick is a shame bur relatively unimportant. its perhaps the same player a few picks later with their earleist of two second round choices and without a guaranteed salary.
