this past year's draft you have the option of drafting 6th or 7th, or you have the chance of trading back for two late lotto picks...

you could have drafted Vesley or Bismack... or you did your scouting and were high on Klay AND Kawhi.

I know some will be unhappy with that as an argument, but my point is, if Jerry West (or whoever has the loudest voice in the draft war room) likes a player like Perry Jones, Harkless, Henson or Marshall, then maybe you take the 14/16 deal and take a flier on two players with potential.

I'm not saying the Warriors want 4 or 5 rookies on this team, but the #16 >> their #30 and two second rounders.

this draft has a nice third tier of talent - and by third tier, I don't mean guys that will be bench players or possible starters... there's a potential to pick up a solid starter or two in the 10-20 range of this draft.

so if the Warriors are secretly not so high on the players being discussed #7-13, then the Houston deal makes some sense.

why are people suggesting trading down for multiple mid-late 1st. we have 4 draft picks already - gogswarriors 2012-06-15 20:47:41 (87 views)

Some feel that all the players in the 7 to 17 range are crapshoots - The Big Rebounder 2012-06-15 22:07:32 (29 views)

Look at the mock drafts and look at where the 3rd tier starts and ends. - Pointman 2012-06-15 21:18:23 (88 views)

Rather Leonard at 14 and PJ3 at 16 (or Harkless). May need to trade up to 11-12 for Leonard - maxsmart 2012-06-16 01:12:42 (30 views)

True, prospects so young it's tough to know who will be better. So get two chances at 14 & 16 - maxsmart 2012-06-15 23:31:26 (21 views)

One of the top 6 will drop to #7. Sullinger will be available and Pistons will try to trade - loozballs 2012-06-15 21:28:19 (28 views)

Although some might argue that Lamb belongs in the 2nd Tier. I wouldn't mind taking him at #7. - Pointman 2012-06-15 21:27:00 (29 views)

lamb will be a decent pro no doubt. i just dont see how our defense will last. all we have is bogut - gogswarriors 2012-06-15 21:35:58 (18 views)

so now you're back to drafting for need. - Retired Tank Commander 2012-06-15 21:37:03 (22 views)

did i say to draft him? no! i said hell be a decent pro. - gogswarriors 2012-06-15 22:06:07 (17 views)

That crash and burn UConn did when he was given the keys gives me pause - New Warriors 2012-06-15 22:08:17 (25 views)

Would take Henson, Sullinger or even Lillard over those two guys - New Warriors 2012-06-15 21:25:17 (21 views)

And there's a good chance one or both could be there at 14. - Pointman 2012-06-15 21:28:27 (18 views)

Incredibly slim, so why risk it? An extra rookie when they don't even want all the picks they got? - New Warriors 2012-06-15 21:29:59 (20 views)

If needed, kick in $3 mil plus 2nd rd pick to move up from 14 to 10, 11 or 12 - maxsmart 2012-06-15 23:38:24 (17 views)

They're trading 2 rookies for 2 rookies. They may love TJones or Harkless and expect them to be... - Pointman 2012-06-15 21:55:12 (27 views)

If they love a guy, take them at 7. - New Warriors 2012-06-15 22:06:34 (19 views)

no idea. this isn't the nfl - Lawston 2012-06-15 20:56:16 (19 views)

the only suggestion is 7 and 30 for 14 and 16. - endlessraine 2012-06-15 20:52:45 (33 views)

dude you have any idea about value of picks? i dont trade the 7 alone for 14 and 16. - gogswarriors 2012-06-15 20:53:40 (50 views)

youll have a tough time being a gm. but then again, youre not. - endlessraine 2012-06-16 01:23:53 (16 views)

I would in THIS draft, but in almost every other draft I agree with your thinking. - Tom Vu 2012-06-15 21:01:32 (27 views)

agreed. that "third tier" has some great potential... think of it this way... - Next Generation, Silicon Valley Superstar 2012-06-15 21:39:35 (35 views)

I wouldnt do that trade, but I agree with your logic - PNQ 2012-06-15 21:04:48 (42 views)

I'd trade the 7+30 in heartbeat for the 14 and 16 in this draft.. - Retired Tank Commander 2012-06-15 21:06:22 (61 views)

I get it but cant pull the trigger.. My top guy wont be there at 14 - PNQ 2012-06-15 21:28:47 (38 views)

why the hell would you do that? draft who you want at 14 with the 7 then and guaranteee you get who - gogswarriors 2012-06-15 21:13:32 (40 views)

dude, go do your research. - endlessraine 2012-06-16 00:59:12 (18 views)

This draft is about 24 deep with a lot of pretenders at the top rungs imo. So hell ya, 7 and 30 for - Tom Vu 2012-06-15 21:24:19 (30 views)

Even more pretenders the lower you go - New Warriors 2012-06-15 21:27:01 (21 views)
