anyone hear about this? I was listening to the Dan le betard show (I believe it was the local hour) in which they mentioned this. I know it's well documented that we offered 4 1sts for the right to their pick (but we were targeting Winslow) .  they supposedly thought we wanted kaminsky (who they also coveted) and were undecided what to do.  so they drafted kaminsky and then later had second thoughts and offered him to us for the "original deal" which we of course refused.  would have been nice to have Winslow

Exactly.  I can picture Jordan finishing a round of golf, smoking a cigar, and drinking a scotch with some buddies while surrounded by young hotties telling an assistant to make that call.  In other words, his head is not in it.

It may be true...my feeling is that this is hocus pocus.

I thought rumor was after C's took Hunter that the call came in. Jordan didn't think Hunter would be there. So Rozier and Hunter were on his draft board pretty high enough for him to change his mind.

I dont think it was 4 firsts straight up for 9th pick. Bill Simmons brought this up in the past. It was something of a 4 team trade that had boston moving up to 4th

I wanted Winslow. Still want Winslow. I ultimately think he will be Double the player Crowder is. Although Crowder keeps improving to boot, so tough to say. Both will put in the work necessary to be great , IMO

I agree, I still want Winslow and I hope DA is trying to get him.  He would be a great fit.  I thought he had the most potential out of the last draft.  Jordan was an idiot not to take Danny's offer and then compounded it by taking Kaminsky who will never be a star.

Well, he's not exactly tearing it up in Miami though.
