exactly, even though its obvious. I also don't get the hype around Rubio. I heard he averaged 5 points coming off the bench for a spanish league team.

I played on an intramural softball team with him for the past few semesters, luckily he's better at basketball than he is at slow pitch softball. I haven't had a favorite NBA team since the Sonics got hijacked so it will be nice to have someone to cheer for again after Klay gets drafted.

It seems that the Cavs are unsure who they will pick at #1 but after thinking about trading up for the 2nd pick they will stay with the 1 and 4 picks.

The Spurs are possibly thinking of trading Tony Parker to move up.

There has been a rumor that the Lakers are thinking about trading Pau Gasol to the T'Wolves for the 2nd pick and for Kevin Love.

And lastly, I heard its a possibility that the Knicks will trade up to select Jimmer Freddette.

Milwaukee have agreed in principle to a three-team trade with the Sacramento Kings and the Charlotte Bobcats that will put shooting guard Stephen Jackson in a Bucks uniform, multiple sources said Thursday.

The Bucks will get Jackson and Charlotte's Shaun Livingston, Sacramento's Beno Udrih and the 19th pick from the Bobcats in Thursday night's draft, while Charlotte obtains the No. 7 pick from Sacramento and forward Corey Maggette from Milwaukee.

The Kings will get guard John Salmons from Milwaukee and the 10th pick in the draft. Charlotte will hold onto the No. 9 pick.

By agreeing to the deal, Milwaukee, Charlotte and Sacramento basically shuffled some big guaranteed contracts. Jackson has two years and more than $19 million left on his deal; Maggette is owed more than $21 million for the next two seasons; and Salmons has three years and $24 million left on his deal that also includes a team option for $7 million in 2014-15. The Kings do shed Udrih's contract, however, which is for more than $7 million next year with a player option the following season at almost $8 million.

Meanwhile, multiple sources told ESPN.com's Andy Katz that the Kings are leaning toward drafting BYU shooting guard Jimmer Fredette over Connecticut's Kemba Walker with the 10th pick, and Charlotte likely will consider Texas' Tristan Thompson at No. 7 and either Florida State's Chris Singleton or Colorado's Alec Burks at No. 9.

If Sacramento were to take Fredette at No. 10, then it could alleviate a major decision for the Utah Jazz at No. 12 with college basketball's national player of the year off the board. Milwaukee covets Kansas' Markieff Morris at No. 19, but he may not be available, the sources said.

Trades made after 3 p.m. ET Thursday cannot be officially announced until the start of the NBA draft tonight (7:30, ESPN).
