Clippers trade #7 to Sonics for #4 - Cancelled

[Kingfanpaul]

Just heard it on ESPN radio. I think there was a player involved too but I could not hear.

UPDATE!

Two big deals have just gone down in the past few minutes that could change the face of the draft.

The Clippers and Sonics have agreed to swap picks as long as the Wolves take O.J. Mayo at No. 3. If Mayo isn't drafted at 3, the deal is off according to two sources close to the information.

With the No. 4 pick, expect the Clippers to take Eric Gordon of Indiana. They've coveted him as the type of dominant scorer that they've been looking for.

The Sonics will take Brook Lopez or Jerryd Bayless at No. 7. However it seems like Lopez will be the guy.

Trades going on everywhere. This could affect the Kings in a good or bad way.

From rotoworld.com:

ESPN is reporting that the Sonics have traded the No. 4 pick in the draft to the Clippers in exchange for L.A.'s No. 7 pick and a protected 2009 first-round pick.

Still trying to find a more reliable source. Haven't found it on ESPN yet either (the big breaking news is obviously Jefferson for Yi.)

Hey, could someone wake Geoff ... let him know the draft is about to start. Kinda important stuff happening and such.

I'm sure he's busy on the phones, expecting too much in return. Who knows, by the end of the night we might have traded our pick for a nice big juicy veteran

Just updated the story above ^

So this deal only happens if the wolves get Mayo

Oh gosh, I do hopes it's a 32-year-old swingman/slasher or an undersized big who can shoot a 20-footer and not much else.

All for the low, low price of $12m a year for 5 years.

Make it happen Petrie

Hope Minny take Mayo then. If Clips take Gordon, it drops a PG to us. With the possibility Ind don't take a PG, that means Augustin should be their and maybe one of Westbrook or Bayless. Highly unlikely, though.

Still, I can dream...

You know I was being sarcastic, right?

As was I ... playing off your sarcasm, not missing it.

And so is the failure of sarcasm through text.

Care to elaborate? TV? Radio? Linky-link somewhere?

Great, thanks. It would be nice if folks posted where the info is coming from instead of leaving it as a blank statement.
