Absolutely, didn't he already blow out a knee?

Once they opened him up they saw that he has an extra tendon in his knee that only like 1 of every 5 people have. Westbrook has the same thing and people claim that it's one of the reasons he's been able to come back so healthy and explosive from the surgeries he's had. No clue if any of that holds water but sounds good.
 
top 2 guys at DraftExpress take over NBA draft duties at ESPN. DraftExpress is no more.

eta: probably crappy that a lot of their content will be behind insider pay walls now
 
the most annoying thing draft express did was label their big boards as "mock drafts" and then in small type under bold faced "MOCK DRAFT" it would say "team needs not taken into account yet so then i'd see givony arguing on twitter daily with people who would be like "why the hell do you have team x drafting a PG when they have player y?" and he'd get all pissy about it.

so to answer your question chad ford's big board will now probably be a confusing list labeled MOCK DRAFT (but not really) where there is a list of who they perceive to be the best players next to the current lottery odds of teams altho there will be no connection between the two.

Fatty Scoop!

@WindhorstESPN
Kyrie Irving asked the Cavs to trade him in a meeting last week, sources told ESPN. Story posting on http://ESPN.com shortly

Whoa! This is cray

Like ph says though.... Not many contenders that don't already have stud pg

Except maybe the Spurs (dejounte doesn't count)
 
doesn't want to play with LeBron anymore, wants to be the #1 option. he's got a good contract that has 2 years on it. wondering what teams would qualify that have something to trade.
 
Explains the Derrick Rose signing rumors.

Too bad the Spurs didn't get Simmons signed, they could have done a sign and trade for Simmons + Aldridge + Murray in exchange for Shumpert + Irving
 
there are people talking about Wall for Kyrie. Wall not 100% on signing extension in DC. Kyrie would be undisputed best player on Wiz. Cavs get better in that scenario imo.
 
HOF Bledsoe!

@JADubin5
If Kyrie gets traded, I think I'd bet on the Suns inserting themselves into things as a third team with Bledsoe winding up in Cleveland.
