I hear you Faze, you're right. I don't understand the media infatuation with the hits/ratings at all costs thing that's going on. You have to believe that people are going to wise up eventually and tune out the bs peddlers like Sheridan.
He also said he has solid confirmation that the Wizards are taking Bennett at 3, for whatever that's worth.

So, Ricky Ledo...sleeper pick?
I think I'm all on the Ricky Ledo or Glen Rice Jr. train at #24 if available.
I'd also like it if the Knicks could get a second rounder on the cheap somehow...maybe we could get someone there too.

Ledo is who I wanted for the C'z but at 16 it's too early. He will fit the Knicks perfect. Potential to get a great scorer with no intention of playing defense and a chucker.

We could literally trade down for D-Will and the #9 or trade Ariza straight up for Beasley if we think we needed that sort of player so much that we'd pass on Porter or even Len.
I've already said I don't like Bennett. You have to be so ridiculously elite on offense to make up for being a one way player on that end and not be a net negative. And with all the red flags dude has it's almost guaranteed he doesn't reach his ceiling and will probably never get off the bench.

Watch OKC take a Euro to stash overseas for a year or two so that they can avoid adding salary.

Christ, Sheridan is on our local radio screaming with confidence that we're going to draft Bennett.
Dude has either no shame or...
please no

I told you about those stairs bro.
never troll a prospect you have a chance to take...because karma.
I'd actually like to see us draft Adetokounmpo, but not with the 12th pick (and he'll be gone by the 29th).
I would be shocked if we don't make a trade. We have:
12th pick
29th pick
32nd pick
Dallas' pick next year
Our own pick next year
Lamb
PJ3
Liggins
Orton
Our roster is almost full as it is. No way do we draft 3 guys without a trade IMO.

I think it's more than that. I think the league is embracing stats more, and I think GMs are looking for coaches that embrace the numbers. That's my opinion anyway, based on nothing. PEACE.

Those college stats from Turner are terrible. How did he go second overall?
Red Blaster
Member
those are his stats from last season, turner put up 20 ppg on 52% shooting his final year at ohio state
So Battier is doing draft coverage for ESPN with Simmons and Rose. I for one, can't wait for the Seth Curry/ Charlotte Hornets/Cats FA signing.
A new age is dawning in the Queen City
Also Alex Len is going to be a monumental bust. I thought he was decent at best. And I'm not saying that to defend Plumlee either because I think he'll be the worst of the 3 Duke players available tomorrow. I just think Len is kinda shit.

Anyone doubting Miami's positionless push has been put on notice. I'm really surprised Riles has embraced the idea, because his plan was to go bigger when Bosh got injured last year. Sounds like we're gonna stay relatively small. Approved!
I heard Bosh said he admires Wade and Bron and wants to get to their level. I hope it's not just talk. I want to see the return of his face-up game. PEACE.
Dunno how 76ers cant be sold on Jrue. Dude played hard this season and put up good stats. His shooting percentages went down towards the end of the season, but its probably cause the team sucked and they knew they weren't making the playoffs. He has defense, and hes an actual pg. Good enough for my team, at least!

He is 19/9 as the 3rd option. Chris is doing fine within his role. A few more post ups per game will help. But thats up to Erik.

I'd love to have Curry on the team. I'm hoping he doesn't get drafted so he can sign with the Hornets as a free agent. There needs to be a Curry back playing in Charlotte.

Jrue's defense is mad overrated.
I'm not sure if the stats back it up but dudes like Jeff Teague owned him last year. This could be due to our bigs being free but he would often just get beat. Jrue also is the worst at getting to the line and settles for faaaar too many long 2 instead of getting in the paint. and advance stat wise.....he was just average.
of course there are circumstances to it but on the low Thad Young was our best player last year. I can see how they aren't sold on Jrue. Trading him would be fucking stupid tho...I can't think of a realisticly good package that isn't awful.
I still like him, but I think this is the most important point. There aren't that many decent pg's, and hes one of them. Keeping him makes sense by process of elimination.
Eric Gordon is on the trading block? Wtf. It makes sense since he wanted out of there, but for some reason it seemed random.

is it even a sweepstakes anymore for dwight howard? the prospect of having his mom drop him off at parsons' house after practice to play call of duty was enough to win him over.

Just offer the 19th for Pierce. What the fuck are they thinking about?

I'd rather have Gorgui Dieng than Paul Pierce.

TRob plays a lot like Tristan Thompson, I think Thompson is a better prospect though. I don't see the point for the Cavs.

I wouldn't give up on T-Rob. If Dwight wants to come to Houston then it means he has way more grievances with Los Angeles than a simple 3 to 4 million would change his mind.
T-Rob and Dwight would absolutely poop on teams on the glass.

The Spurs will give them the 28th pick and Bonner for Pierce. Get a first rounder and they can buy out Bonner for like 2 million bones. Pierce can back up Kawhi and be our joint six man with Manu

Bonner is from NH, I'd love to see him in a Celts uniform, lol. Like the other Big White Hope, our brother Scals...

Cavs might actually have that Marion trade in mind. Dude would be a great SF for that team. Doesn't need plays ran for him, great defense, and will be able to teach the youngsters about winning. Just wonder if he'd want to actually go there.

Shawn cant create his own shot. Its a waste of time for THIS Cavs team.

Pierce, Marion + Irving? Sounds much better now as long as ther center comes back healthy....

But Irving and Waiters can create shots while being completely unable to defend.

Perimeter D is ridiculously hard. If they have strong rotations and mobile bigs, they can be alright.

This right here is why the Cavs need to take Noel. He fills a need and he's the best player in the draft, they're really over thinking this pick. They can get their small forward through a trade, whether it's Granger, Pierce, Marion, or whoever.
Ladies love Cool T-Robb?

Hes a piece of shit. I'm still laughing at him saying to screenshot his tweet where he guarantees a Spurs victory in gm 7.
