his name sounds like a character from a Conan movie, so that's good enough for me. Plus you can sell "MEET YOUR MAKER" shirts by the boatload.

There's a chance Thon Maker could reclassify to the 2015 class. Would be a top 3 pick in the '16 draft also.
But it's tough to know for sure. Especially these days where most high draft picks are 19-20 years old at the most.
7 feet, guard skills on offense and a good defender inside.

That's the face of a man who found out he's going to Cleveland.
If an East team does move to Seattle, Memphis will make that conference switch in a second.
LMAO! That remains my favorite JR Smith moment ever.
His last text reads, "You trying to get the pipe?"
He went from the last team in the league to a playoff team with overrated ass Kevin Love. He'd better be thanking Bron for vouching for him on this team. He's a scorned exit away from playing in China again.
I'd be upset as well if I went from Starlets to a seedy strip club in Akron that offered after hours services which I won't discuss over the internet. Strip Club heads know what's up. Shout out to *edit*, *edit*, *edit*, and *edit* over at *edit*.
Kevin Love is the most overrated player in the league. Remember all that shit he talked last year about some team playing in the east. He's there now and getting exposed. I wish we kept Wiggins because I knew this trade would backfire.

I tried to warn everyone, man. Nobody would listen. No team with All Star Kevin Love will ever win shit.

PHX just exposing the Eastern conference teams, 8-1 against East teams on the road. I thought Bucks had a chance, but man so much ballhogs on that team they got away from feeding Giannis Antetokounmpo.

Yeassss as a Heat fan I personally am rooting for the Pistons!!!
Take that 8th spot away from us please!!!!
You know who Cleveland should have thought about trading for once LeBron was confirmed back?
Tyson Chandler. They've had to have taken Raymond Felton too, but that's no biggie - he'd have been Kyrie's backup (and he's better than Dellavedova). Probably would have needed a 3rd team to make salaries match as well, but I think they'd have found a team.
Or heck, even if they don't trade for Love their starting five is Kyrie, Wiggins, LeBron, Bennett and Varejao with Dion off the bench. Is that really that bad? Sure they still don't have a rim protector... But they can draft one can't they? I see a lot of big guys for this year's draft class on DraftExpress - couldn't the Cavs have dealt for one? Or maybe even wait this year out and then grab Tyson Chandler in FA, who probably would have a lower value than he does right now. Bet he feels more motivated playing with LeBron.
Also I see the Pistons beat the Spurs tonight. Mavs are going to have their hands full with Drummond and Monroe tomorrow, ugh.

Lol, SVG is a great coach anyway. Poor Josh Smith just looks worse and worse as the team have success with him being waived. This might do to the Pistons what the Rudy Gay trade did for the Raps.

Hindsight is 20/20...except for the logo and Kerr, everyone thought of Love as a top 5 big man...
I'm not saying Love is overrated - hell, I think he still IS a top 5 big man in the league - but his weakness in defense was obvious from the start. LeBron was in the 2011 Finals, he saw how good Tyson Chandler was and that Tyson was 2012 DPOY. It just seems weird how LeBron has been on all these teams that have never really had rim protection until 2012 onward when Chris Bosh really stepped it up and then the Heat win 2 titles. LeBron's smart, he knows how valuable rim protection is - why didn't he entertain the possibility of getting a possibly motivated Tyson Chandler on his team?
But yeah it is sort of a "in hindsight" discussion... I don't think the Cavs are in that bad of a spot right now after getting Shumpert and JR though. Assuming Shump comes back healthy and Blatt/LeBron can get JR motivated they're a possibly dangerous team. I just wonder about what kind of center is needed to be successful in Blatt's system (aside from being a rim protector). Are they still running his offense or finally doing some pick and rolls?
I'm happy for Stan. I wonder how long before his players turn on him. I hope having GM control helps him avoid that. PEACE.
this is going to work out so well.
Nugs have the Cavs over a barrel. AJ Price? Haywood who can barely walk? Mike Miller & James Jones are safe since they're Lebron's buddies.

Does the Cavs GM suck at evaluating talent or is he just doing whatever Lebron demands?
wtf

Didn't Dalembert just get waived by the Knicks to? Hell he would be serviceable as a backup center.
I think people are overrating these picks... They're in the low 20s and one of the picks sent to Denver is from Memphis and is protected 1-3 and 15-30 for the next two years, meaning it's not coming over for a while. The other is 50/50 depending if OKC misses the playoffs. Also Denver looks like they have a superior guy in Jusuf Nurkic and Cavs badly needed a center. Mozgov is only 28 and big men can play longer than guards - he'll be around for Love and Kyrie's primes.
Still a really good return for Denver though, but I'm guessing they might just tank soon.

What, exactly, are you basing this on?
Wanted to edit but didn't have time - I meant to say that big men skills can usually last longer than a guard's. Assuming regular health of course.
Not really, usually big men start to decline around 29 or 30.
