Getting Love back should help a lot, and Oladipo isn't a terrible shooter. When he was left open last year he was a pretty good shooter. He and Rubio in the backcourt during fastbreaks and on D would be awesome to watch.

Even with Love healthy, he's the only guy currently under contract that I'd say can actually shoot. I hope we re-sign Budinger, but that's not a given. We really need shooters.

Hopefully Rubio is able to consistently make layups this season.

Let's not get ahead of ourselves. He doesn't seem to know how to use his body and position himself for a layup. He does so many other things so well that I don't really care, though.

 

[Blackace]

We haven't even called McLemore in for a workout yet, I hope it stays that way. You don't take a 3 and D guy with bad intangibles in the top 5.

In this draft? Can't be helped

 

[Jarlaxle]

In the short term yea, but Porter projects to be the better two way player in the long run.

Ilyasova trade won't happen. Nice player but not worth Porter.

Beyond that the trade isn't even possible from a salary perspective.

It's worth entertaining if Noel and Porter are off the board though.

You believe Cleveland will actually pick Porter #1?

good piece on the actual realistic cap space each team has (or doesn't have) going into free agency.

I had a good laugh reading the nets section but then I remembered the raptors ;_;

The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel has learned that discussions were held to extend [Monta] Ellis’ deal with the Bucks but no agreement was reached.

As part of the discussions the Bucks offered the 27-year-old guard a two-year extension through the 2015-’16 season, resulting in a total package of nearly $36 million over three years, according to a source. Ellis would have been required to opt in to get the additional two years on the deal.

3/36 for Ellis is hilarious.

I can't believe Anthony Bennett is still in the top 4 on ESPN's big board after teams have been able to watch tape of his "defense." He's spectacularly bad in every way. Never makes good decisions, almost never tries, really bad fundamentals, really bad size...And those defensive issues point to potential offensive issues in the NBA once he's no longer bigger and more athletic than everyone else.

Ben McLemore has at least slid out of the top 5 on their board though.

Thanks for the stats clarification earlier, dudes.

Has this been brought up?

Ty Lawson wears Raptors hat at Denver concert

So before anyone says it, NO Ty Lawson does not want to come to Toronto. If anything I'm just think this is him "voicing" his opinion about Denver letting Masai Ujiri leave and possibly George Karl as well.

Hinkie drafting purely on stats would be disappointing. At least you'll be able to guess which player the 76ers draft in the next few years based on who has the most blocks+assists+steals at the 76ers draft spot though. (I'm so glad that MCW is rising on draft boards away from the Jazz)

What interpreting is there to do? Ujiri built that Denver team and he's gone to the Raptors. Pretty obvious stuff.

we don't even need him too.

He is basically Turner with more hops, worst jumper, and the tendency to steal things instead of cutting himself.

and even if we move Turner (looks likely), it still makes no sense with Jrue.


...well at least he isn't Plumlee...right?

[Future PhaZe]

I think Adams would be a no brainer for Philadelphia. With a pick like this they really need to go for the highest possible upside player and at that pick its Adams without a doubt.

The Ilyasova trade rumor is about the dumbest thing I can think of. Unless they want to give me Sanders, I'm not interested.

We're not moving a #3 overall for a bench player. the Okafor/Nene frontcourt is set.

Charlotte is hedging its bets on the 4th in the first round in case the Heat don't win this Chip

Miami Heat big man Chris Bosh could be a “prime candidate,” according to the report, as there are rumors the Heat will look to trade Bosh. The Bobcats could take on his near-maximum contract.

You can make coherent, well-written posts with no trolling without having said posts be full of dumb opinions and fanboy-isms.

IWMTB is a good example.

Agreed, it would fuck up your salary cap too.

Edit: We are definitely going to have to go after a good big soon, but I was hoping we'd wait until next offseason and go for Monroe or Cousins when they become RFAs. Or if not that try to trade for Aldridge or Horford. I definitely don't want Bosh.
