He was never traded with multiple players. Teams always traded him by himself.

As a reminder, Q was traded around draft day for Darko Milicic. Later, the Clippers took him in exchange for Zach Randolph. The Clips sent him off for a package including Sebastian Telfair, Craig Smith and Mark Madsen. And now he's gone off for Blount (who will be bought out by the Wolves, according to Jerry Zgoda of the Minneapolis Star-Tribune).

"The conventional wisdom is that it can't happen until either Aug. 23rd or Sept. 20th because of specific rules in the CBA that prohibit a player who has already been traded from being retraded in a multiplayer deal within 60 days of his last trade."

I don't really see the point of holding it off until free agency, I decided to do it for our mock draft purposes since he's getting a pick, instead of me picking for him then announcing the trade later I'd rather he have the pick now so I'm not on the hook if the clock runs out on that pick and I'm not here.


BTW have training again till night, still text me for any trades or anything like that and i'll get back to you in a timely matter: 703.598.8234

Still a little long. I'm not sure if we can go by the book in these quick ones because it would take so long. I mean, I'm not losing any sleep over skimming past a few rules

It's supposed to start at 12 EST anyway, just make it in 5 minutes if nobody else does.

it's up now, if D-Unit wants to make changes to it or whatever he can but for now i'll go ahead and make my pick so we can get this thing going

[LTgiants]

Derrick Williams?


Really?

[diabsoule]

I was thrown for a loop there as well. VERY surprised that you didn't go with Kyrie.

[sbh15]

quickly, while everyone is in shock, i need a scorer! preferably at the 3! send me your worst offers

[scottyboy]

NO! I NEED A SCORER AT THE 3!
don't listen to that imposter!

[princefielder28]

when it came down to decision time, Williams stands out as the player who has the greatest chance to be a franchise changing player...

i think it'd be very helpful to the mock if people would leave contact information in this thread or on their depth chart so the draft can move smoothly

[LTgiants]

Batum is available

[OSUGiants17]

Still not the most shocking pick in Forum Mock history

[Brodeur]

Blah, so what if that pick works out now.

[D-Unit]

I've totally made a 180 on Williams. I was mistaken about his shooting. But he's easily the best player in this draft. I wouldn't take Kyrie over him.

Agreed, Williams should be the pick. Plus with the Cavs also having pick 4, they can easily get another PG with just as much potential as Irving to play with Williams, but they can't get someone close to Williams at 4 to team with Irving.

[YAYareaRB]

I think its an awesome pick. Derrick Williams was definitely one of my fav players to watch last season

[WMD]

Derrick Williams rules very much.

BTW someone should trade for Mike Miller.

[LonghornsLegend]

I'd break things if we traded Roddy B + a 1st for JJ Hickson. Just wanted to point that out.

[princefielder28]

i texted STRIP to see if he has fenikz's number since his clock technically ends in 35 minutes or so

[YAYareaRB]

Someone just PM me when its my time. I'll be on all day but I'm terrible with time

[DJC]

Thats absolute ******** that the new Bogut trade was blocked too. Diab must just be being a little ***** cause I wouldnt give him away for West or something. How do the Lakers get Danny Granger, one of the best scorers in the L, and Roy Hibbert, a above average young center, for the oft-injured Andrew Bynum + ********, and I cant get a trade done for Bogut for half of that value. On top of that, Javale McGee, an unproven center with character issue, goes for the 2nd pick in the draft. On top of that, you give away CP3 for Nash who's about to retire and some overpaid bench players. And your just gonna sit here and give ******** reasonings why you keep blocking Bogut trades, like Nick ******* Collison is really going to stop the Thunder from getting one of the best centers in the league, who isnt just top 10 in the L btw, but without a doubt top 5 and arguably top 3.

[princefielder28]

It's not about Bogut, it's about what the Thunder are trying to do and it makes zero sense

the only issue about Bogut is the position he plays...the Thunder just traded for and then gave an extension to Kendrick Perkins and now they want to trade for someone who would not allow him to see the floor while also moving a player who they invested the 3rd overall pick in two years and proved during the playoffs that he's on his way to being the 3rd star on that squad and someone who would not ever be considered for a trade
