Then whoever is availble between Gordon and Livingston at #6 the Hawks will take, and I'm guessing a Swingman with the #17?One juicy draft rumor involves the Magic, who hold the No. 1 pick. It goes something like this: The Clippers trade their No.2 pick for the Hawks' No. 6 and 17 picks, putting Atlanta in position to take Atlanta phenom Dwight Howard... Atlanta then must deliver the Clippers the player they want and persuade Orlando to not take Howard. To do that, the Hawks add a sweetener to the deal (future pick, salary dump) and the Magic take Emeka Okafor.
if i were LAC, i would be asking (lowballing?) ATL for more then just 6&17 in this 2 man draft.
if that deal happens anyway, i think LAC would trade the 17th to move up and nab big Pavel. if 'q' leaves, they'll address their need for another swingman via free agency
the clips are getting close if they can stay healthy...
