What if the twolves are really going to take Jah and Towns is slipping to 2? Smoke screens are a beast.

They have no real reason to smoke screen... Unless they think they can convince the lakers to pay up to swap.

But the lakers don't really have assets the Wolves would want.

Shakeup at the top? League sources say the Sixers want D'Angelo Russell and are willing to trade up from the No. 3 spot to get him. It would create an interesting opportunity for the Lakers, who could still get Jahlil Okafor and extract a future pick in the process. Among others, the Sixers control the Lakers' 2016 first-round pick, which is top-3 protected.

Porzingis Project? While the Knicks may be hesitant to go with Latvian 7-footer Kristaps Porzingis with the fourth pick, given their infamous selection of Frederic Weis in 1999, a rival executive who has scouted him extensively disputed the notion that he's a long-term project. "He's the real deal," the executive said. "He's ready to go right now."

Point guard for Pistons? If Emmanuel Mudiay falls to the Pistons at No. 8, they might be inclined to take him and let Reggie Jackson walk as a free agent. "They're not 100 percent sold on Reggie," a league source said. Detroit also likes Justise Winslow and Mario Hezonja at that spot, sources said, though Hezonja isn't expected to get past the Magic at No. 5.

Wisconsin wild card. Wisconsin's Sam Dekker is the wild card in the late lottery, with league sources pegging him anywhere from 10th (Miami) to 17th (Milwaukee). If the 6-9 forward is on the board when the Bucks pick, there will be tremendous pressure to take the local star from Madison -- especially with the Bucks trying to build community and political excitement for a new downtown arena. Milwaukee native Kevon Looney of UCLA also could fit the bill.

:skip: Mitch gonna try to hold Russell hostage to get back the Lakers 2016 1st rounder from Hinkie. How much you really want D'Angelo?

We would like a situation where Mario would get 25 minutes a game. What number he is picked doesn't matter; our focus is where he can play and win," Hezonja's father, Ronald, told Bleacher Report.

Hezonja's father broke down a few scenarios for B/R:

New York Knicks, No. 4: "New York would be fantastic under Phil Jackson, who is accomplished, and Derek Fisher, because he played with Kobe Bryant and knows what is required to win."

Orlando Magic, No. 5: "Orlando are serious and could be a good landing spot with Scott Skiles as coach and Victor Oladipo and Elfrid Payton as rising stars."

Denver Nuggets, No. 7: "Denver have been chasing Mario for the past two seasons and can take him as a wing. But we're looking for the right environment."

Detroit Pistons, No. 8: "Detroit would be great because Stan Van Gundy is a great coach."


Sounds like his pops doesn't want Mario to end up in Denver
