Your dislike of Dragic is reminiscent of Dy's dislike of Rondo. And equally as "HUHN?"

Depends what you pay for them. Anything near full Mid Level Exemption and above is lolworthy. Less than $4mill a season is probably a bargain.
Remember those days? Wasn't he an all-star at some point?
When Hedo was good? Does anyone else remember Orlando being a championship threat?
Man those were the days

Dragic isnt a starting PG unless he goes to the Knicks..

then throw Brooks off the list.. I put him on there because he had flashes of all starness in Houston and might still blossom a bit..
Dragic meets those same criteria, except his game is even more well rounded than Brooks', who was essentially an undersized two.
Obviously not a sure bet, but Dragic made the most of his opportunity this year.

The other day my buddy and I were talking about trades and I was like what can we trade for Hibbert. I was thinking Bynum and Ebanks for him
I can't understand how a guy like Doron Lamb is rated as a 2nd rounder no matter where you look in such a weak draft. Capable shooter, decent facilitator, active defender? Should at least put you as a late 1st rounder in a draft like this. I feel like he'll be the steal of the 2nd round this year.

You're crazy, Bynum is a way better center that Hibbert, even with the baggage he brings to town.
If anything it would be Hibbert plus a player and a pick for Bynum.

Hearing that Jeremy Lamb barely knew who Lamarcus Aldridge was when asked how much he knew about the Blazers.
Man that's scary.
One thing I will say for Drummond is that he's the best version of fools gold to come along in a while. As a Wiz fan who has McGee, Kwame and Blatche in our history even I thought...for a single second mind you, about drafting Drummond lol.
MJ taking him at #2 for sure. NBADraft.net thinks so haha.

Assuming Anthony Davis will be the only franchise player caliber guy, and aside from guys like Thomas Robinson, MKG, Beal, and maybe Drummond, who exactly do you see being an impact starter in this league out of the prospective 1st round stock?
jeremy lamb, leonard, rivers, jones have good upside

Impact starter doesn't mean all-star; I mean someone like Aaron Afflalo in which case there's a lot of those type of guys in this draft.

I don't see Davis being a franchise level player either actually. He's like the next Marcus Camby in my opinion.
Not really, I knew some D1 guys that didn't really follow the NBA game that much, they checked out the marquee games but not much outside of that.
What's scary is that he looks and sounds high in every interview though.
Either way I'd take a guy who's floor is Marcus camby when his ceiling is potentially Kevin Garnett.
Either way your coming out with a guy who can be a difference maker on your team.

If Marcus Camby were healthier over his career, and played in this era I think he'd have had a greater impact. With how guards and perimeter players are allowed to slash and penetrate guys like Tyson Chandler and Dwight, defensively, are extremely valuable. Don't know if Davis is a franchise big like Dwight or KG or Duncan, but even if he turns out to be another Tyson Chandler, that's a pretty great piece.

I think he'll match KG's peak defense and be a multiple all-star.
21, 9, 4 BPG with great D is about where I expect him to be at during his better seasons. Kind of KG like in that he really is going to need a better scorer than himself as a 1st option to chip.
I don't know of any real comparison for Davis, he's a much better athlete and more fluid than Camby, plus his shot doesn't look like he's throwing a bag of laundry at someone.
I don't think he has Tyson or Dwight defensive ability either, both guys are longer than him, I was shocked that he only has a 9"0 standing reach, thought it would be in that freakish 9"5 range.
Calipari said Davis might transition to SF in the NBA, and can do a lot more than he showed at Kentucky, so who knows what he'll turn into.
Just saw that. Weird.
Grizzlies new owner: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_J._Pera
He's 34 years old and became a billionaire overnight. He was a hardware engineer for Apple back in 2005. Wow.

He'll either bring the Grizzlies to the promised land (NBA Finals/Championship) or burn them down in flames.
I honestly can't ever remember an NBA owner being so young. 34? I mean, holy shit.

I can't imagine being a billionaire at 34. I'd probably just give up on life and spend every single day eating and fucking.

Does anyone know if the Dream Team special will be airing in Canada? I checked my digital guide it says NBATV will be showing a WNBA game.

How is that giving up on life? In my book that is living.
On topic though the only way Barnes becomes a Bobcat is if the #2 pick gets traded. Any team that thinks it will be back in the lottery next year would be stupid to reach on Beal, MKG, or Barnes because next year's backcourt class looks a lot more talented to me. It's all about the frontcourt in this year's draft, i.e. Davis, Drummond, Leonard, Henson, Terrence Jones, Perry Jones, Zeller, and Sullinger will all probably go in the first half of the draft.
I couldn't be a billionaire, I have megalomaniac tendencies, ie. my house would have a lot of giant gold statutes of me outside of it, and countless painted portraits of me standing with my golden statutes of me.
I saw the interior of some of Sadaam Hussein's palaces and thought "This guy has great decor sense".
I'd say Cuban would be the youngest person to BUY a team.
No facts there, just sort of guessing.
Can't say i blame him though, owning a team would be fun. And now he has his own team of cheerleaders he can "Interview for their position".
Wade?!
They never ran any plays for him or passed him the ball. Kentucky was 132nd in the country in assists. He averaged 8.4 shot attempts PER GAME.
The fact that he averaged 14ppg is amazing.

Davis' touch, hands, BBIQ, footwork, and quickness are all insanely good, it's hard to not eventually develop into a great scorer if you're a big man with those qualities who works hard.
The price is very interesting to me. $350M
That seems to be a very common valuation for these teams, particularly the small market ones.
I think MJ paid around $300M for the bobcats too. and the W's went for around that.
Yeah, he started as a 6'6" guard, IIRC, and then shot up 5 inches one summer and became a big man.

He was 6'2
I'm pretty sure Yancy Gates is the guy who was involved in some thug ass fight on the court with another team
He would fit very well with Tyreke
