Report: Clips, Sonics swap top picks

[BigWeiner]

ESPN is reporting that the Sonics will trade the No. 4 pick in the draft to the Clippers in exchange for L.A.'s No. 7 pick and a protected 2009 first-round pick if things go as expected in the Top 3 picks of the draft.

The Clippers and Sonics have agreed to swap picks as long as the Wolves take O.J. Mayo at No. 3. If Mayo isn't drafted at 3, the deal is off according to two sources close to the information.

With the No. 4 pick, expect the Clippers to take Eric Gordon of Indiana. They've coveted him as the type of dominant scorer that they've been looking for.

The Sonics will take Brook Lopez or Jerryd Bayless at No. 7. However it seems like Lopez will be the guy.

WHY WOULDNT THE CLIPS WANT LOVE TO REPLACE ELTON BRAND ?

WHY WOULDNT THE CLIPS WANT LOVE TO REPLACE ELTON BRAND ?

I agree. They should trade Brand to Miami for Marion and draft Love. They could have a pretty nice team quickly. They seem to love Kaman though.

Because he's short, slow, and really shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence with Elton Brand

Brand and their pick 5 for Marion and the 2 pick makes more sense, than get Beasley

Why not SU and have Miami draft at 2? Brand coming off a big injury makes a SU deal pretty fair to me. No?

I would agree if Brand didn't play so well at the end of last year. I wouldn't do it if I was the Clippers without flip flopping picks. The Clippers would be too small. I think Miami would trade the pick besides with Marion besides, especially if the Clippers have the 4 pick now. The Heat could get Brand and Bayless

I agree just staing my opinion. I think the NBA is a horeshit league which is completely thugged out and always will be. Shit refs blowing games and there is tons of talent in the NBA but poorly used as the players continue to act like thugs. Ii'll stick to college hoops where the players actually try and play hard
