First, it was Evans to MEM. Now, it's DeRozan to OKC. I don't care as long as Rubio drops!

"Rumors are circulating that the Thunder could use the third overall pick on USC's DeMar DeRozan.

Oklahoma would play him alongside Kevin Durant, Jeff Green and Russell Westbrook, a lineup that has DeRozan excited.

"That would be great. It would feel good to be in a lineup like that. Kevin Durant's one of the best players in the league, and that would be an opportunity to help build a program from the ground up," DeRozan told HoopsWorld.

"I think we could put Oklahoma City on the map as a top team in the next few years. Playing with a star player would also really help my career. Playing with someone like Kevin Durant, who's been there and remembers what it takes as a rookie to get where you want to go, that would be great because he just did it. I'd love to play with Kevin and help him build his team up."

I've thought for quite awhile that he makes a lot of sense for them

Sure, he’s kind of a gamble. He could potentially be a star, he could potentially be a bust. But, OKC is the one team in the top 4 of the draft that can afford to take a risk. Because even if DeRozan doesn’t pan out they still have a very strong young core that will be good. Memphis and Sac both have to add a piece that will contribute a lot to their respective team. And the Clippers are loaded with talent but for whatever reason still employ Mike Dunleavy Sr.

DeRozan at #3?

It would be fantastic, but I have some doubts it will happen

DeRozan at #3 - this week

last week it was Harden, the week before it was Thabeet. Next week: trading up for Blake Griffin!

Thabeet

is exactly what that team needs. Im a huge fan of DeRozan but for that team, Thabeet is the sure pick.
