Not sure how legit this source is but ...

For the record, quick draft thoughts:
Not interested:
Isaac: longer and taller version of Harkless. I'm tired of players that seem like elite NBA guys but don't have the It Factor. And by the way, why are people saying Jackson is a poor shooter but Isaac is stretch 4? Jackson shot a better 3-point percentage.
Fox: no more PGs that can't shoot. I don't care what else you do well. You're out. Elf scarred me.
Maybe:
DSJ: like the highlight reel, wonder why his college team was under .500. And should we draft PGs that aren't elite level in a league full of ones we could easily acquire?
Yes:
Jackson: so much potiential. We don't have a chance.
Monk: sliding like Kobe did. Can't teach scoring. I don't care how tall he is. Defense is overrated anyway.
Id go:
1. Fultz
2. Ball
3. Monk
4. Jackson
5. DSJ
Name one "elite level point guard we could easily acquire" please.

I like the way we look tonight
Maybe the whole team really hated Ibaka lol
Mario shooting 100%, safe to say he hated Ibaka

I think we'd be trying to get crowder for vucevic and a pick
Crowder would be the best player in that trade so you don't really have much leverage for something more than that.
Interesting

They're already doing a good job tanking with Barnes. Why dump him?
Buyers remorse maybe? Don't really need a contract like that if you're gonna blow it up.
Problem is they may not need or want to blow it up ...

Gives us a 20 ppg guy without giving up much and AG can shift to PF or come off the bench.
Gives them a way out of Barnes contract so they can fully tank and a young prospect.
Then all we gotta do is flip Vuc and/or Payton for a PG upgrade ... Teague maybe?

there's no way we get cousins with that package. we have to outbid too many teams.
I bet it'd be http://www.espn.com/nba/tradeMachine?tradeId=j4m2rsy
and if we keep Ibaka and payton and run payton-fournier-green-Ibaka-cousins then great.
but that doesn't happen.
How about this then ...

Which risky move has the most upside potential?
Pelton: The Orlando Magic taking Chuma Okeke coming off an ACL tear. Okeke was No. 2 in the stats-only version of my projections, so even if he's not quite the same player after the injury, he can still be a fine pick outside the lottery. Since most rookies don't help their team win, I don't think waiting a few months or even a full season for Okeke is a real problem.
