The Rockets trade gives us like 5,12,14 or some crap like that. See the difference? The Sonics also bit the bullet, became a DLEAGUE team, and then rebuilt. Kind of like Cleveland did.

The Sonics also bit the bullet, became a DLEAGUE team, and then rebuilt. Kind of like Cleveland did. Actually Durant was #2, Westbrook #4 and Harden #3. The first year with Durant they won 20 games, the next year with Durant and Westbrook they won 23 games. I don't think getting a bunch of picks outside of #1 and #2 this year is going to turn things around at all, let alone soon. We need to get Dwight on board, and make smart moves.

Murphy13 185 Report post Posted June 28, 2012 sounds like sac is going to wait to last minute if they decide to trade 5 because they want robinson. but if bobcats keep #2 everyone thinks they're gonna grab robinson. first few selections will be very interesting to see what happens. Robinson has been the second best player in this draft all along, no surprises here. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I like him a lot, but pure talent and potential is probably Beak or Jones III despite him slipping. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
