Following potential 2014 draftees

It's nice he's got 2 yrs of experience, too, and is still just 20 years old. Tough to argue that trade if it happens.

We need to call the Jazz FO and tell them to trade for him. Let's bug the hell out of DL until he caves!

I think Harkless is a good defender. For being 20 I'm somewhat impressed by his defense.

 

[Hekate]

I could even add a second rounder for Harkless too.

Listening to the DL press conference about Ty. DL just said "I don't know if bringing in three new players to this young roster is the smart thing". I wouldn't be surprised if our pick at #23 is packaged for a vet.

If PKM can post from his Nevada bunker, I'm wondering if he knows if there's a good chance Randle stays for another year? He hasn't declared yet and Calipari is set to meet with him, the Harrisons, Poythress and Johnson this week. If Randle doesn't declare, the tie-breaker we won over Boston might be HUGE! All of a sudden, there's the big-3 (Wiggins, Parker, Embiid), maybe the next two (Exum, Smart) + perhaps Gordon and Vonleh after that before the talent takes another drop. And maybe we're wrong about the prospects of Smart, Gordon or Vonleh. Perhaps after workouts one or more disappoints. Or maybe Embiid DOES have serious medical issues with his back. If a couple of teams jump ahead of us in the lottery, the difference in picking just one slot higher than Boston could be very meaningful.

PKM had said Randle will definitely declare.


PKM had spoken.

Or combine the picks and move up into the teens.

Perhaps Lindsey was working on a deal at the deadline, but didn't want to pull the trigger either a) because it would have made the team better (and hurt our draft position), or b) because he needed to make sure the GS pick wouldn't fall into the lottery. Any team wanting to trade a veteran would want an immediate 1st-rounder out of this draft. And the #35 pick is "close enough" to the 1st round to be valued nearly as high.

In no way am I against getting Harkless, just don't see him as a target for Utah, or do I see Magic really wanting to trade him.

for what reason(s)?

Young player, position of need, has a skill set that we can use.....

Because the whole point of trading picks away for players would be to add a veteran talent, or so it seems.

to whom?

If Harkless can be had for #23, then you do it.

When DL says they might not want to go into the season with 3 new young guys....

I don't put too much stock into what he says on 1280.
