On today’s show, Washington Wizards Head Coach Flip Saunders joined Dan and the team to talk about the NBA Draft. TNT NBA Analyst Reggie Miller weighed in on the Magics-Celtics series and where he thinks LeBron should go.
Flip Saunders on celebration in team locker room when they got #1 pick in Draft:
“We looked like a bunch of Little League players jumping all over each other, getting ready to go to Dairy Queen.”
Flip Saunders on how John Wall or Evan Turner would fit in with Gilbert Arenas
“I think either one of them can play with Gilbert Arenas. I don’t think there would be a problem.”…”We’re going to get a player with character, talent, and can be with us a long time.”
Would you consider dealing the #1 pick, Flip?
“We’re not going to trade the pick. We’re not entertaining that. That isn’t an option for us. We’re sold on keeping the pick and we’re not trading it.”
Reggie Miller on John Wall vs Evan Turner as #1 pick for Wizards
“I personally like Evan Turner more, but I know John Wall is the consensus number one pick. Maybe you try and trade Gilbert Arenas and get some other things Washington needs. When healthy, he’ll give you 25 to 30 points. They have options.”
Reggie Miller weighs-in on Celtics-Magic series
“Boston is in a groove right now, whether they have time off or not. Doc Rivers has such a simple game-plan. Rashard Lewis is awful. I think the Magic can get one in Boston, but I just don’t see them generating enough points. Where are the other points going to come from?”
Where should LeBron James go, Reggie?
“I want him to stay in Cleveland. If I’m LeBron, I’m thinking about Chicago. I would go to Miami and play with Dwyane Wade.”….”Right now, Chicago is ready to win. I don’t see the Knicks or Nets ready to win anytime soon.”…”I also wouldn’t put it past Mark Cuban to try and make that happen.”
