I get the mentality of going for a back up that isn't that good and would probably prefer that... its just interesting that all the guys that Locke talks about as being interesting salary dumps are either available or being made available.

Woops I meant Minnesota is looking to move Ridnour

If this is true this would be a good move to take one last player into our cap space. Although I am sure Minnesota wants something for him... maybe a 2nd rounder. We'll see. I would also be okay bring back Tinsley (even though I preferred Watson) or signing Lucas. Thoughts?

I am glad jack and Carl left but I am confident with all the cap they now have they will sign guys like Elton brand and beno udrih to round out their bench.

Granger has every reason in the world to come back at his best this season, and if he does... we sell high at the trade deadline and pick up another pick or asset to our liking.

We take on the contracts of Granger/Green & 1st rounders 2014 & 2016 Indian only does this if they have prearranged this trade with the Jazz & They have prearranged the signing of OJ Mayo 4/$32 & Carl Landry 4/$25 Sure they give away picks and a favorite in Granger: But we take on...

Its interesting that the rumor includes the Jazz and 3 teams with higher picks than the Jazz. With the exception of Atlanta who probably is going all overseas guys to be able to offer max contracts to Howard/CP3 it looks like this leak is coming from Houston who may be trying to convince the...

No

If we want a SF I really like James Southerland... Check out his stats and length versus the much hyped Snell and Bullock. He's a late 2nd in most mocks etc.

I think McCollum will end up dropping. If it is true that Portland isn't enamored with this draft they might take Giannis and retain their money for free agency.. I think Minnesota passes on McCollum because they need to have traditional size at the 2 and they should take Kentavious or Shabazz...

I am down on all PG's not named Schroeder and MCW. I want upside and both of these guys have it. Burke to me is mediocre with some great tourney games, but Schroeder has the athleticism you can't teach... he will hit in the NBA and is already more advanced in his shooting than was Rondo... I...

I don't think Schroeder will be there. In a draft with limited upside, he is one of the few players that has huge upside and at a spot of need. If the Jazz think he is draftable at #21, they shouldn't risk losing the greater position of need by passing on him at #14. That said I like the...

I am okay with any of the top 4 pg's: MCW & Schroeder have the most upside, McCollum and Burke will help the quickest... it will be interesting to see what happens. I am just not excited about bending evolution back and drafting a short Larkin.

The last time I remember a small PG being talked about this high and teams were saying that he would be the next CP3 was DJ Augustine and they took him in front of Brook Lopez at the last second when everyone had decided in Charlotte's war room to go with the size and upside of Lopez... but the...

The thing I keep listening for when people say stuff about players is that: This player or that player is like such and such a player but not as athletic... Like Shane Larkin is a poor mans Tony Parker, or Otto Porter is a less athletic Scottie Pippen/Gerald Wallace etc... well maybe sometimes...

This is my draft based on talent, upside, physical upside etc: 1. Len 2. Mclemore 3. Steven Adams 4. Olidipo 5. Bennett 6. MCW 7. Zeller 8. Schroeder 9. Noel 10. Burke 11. McCollum 12. Snell 13. Bullock 14. Nogeira Again my mock is based upon where I think we will look back in 5 years and say...

My take is that players 6-50 are not that different from eachother this year. This year their is no Tier 1 or Tier 2 players and there are only a few Tier 3 players. From the Tier 3 level of players if you ask one gm to list the 5-6 that are in this draft and you ask another Gm the same...

A week ago I was thinking about this scenario of Trading with Dallas for Marion so that they could go after both CP3 and Dwight so I started trolling their RealGM board and basically it was a discussion and several of the knowledgeable fans talked about how they wouldn't be able to offer 2 max...

The more I look at mock drafts the more I worry about one team and one team only taking him ahead of us and that is Dallas. So we trade #14 & #21 to OKC for #12 & #29. Dallas may end up taking a Euro to stash, but its likely that they select a PG and with their deep international scouting...

This is where you finally turn in your Ante Tomic pick. Locke said a while back that he heard from a few scouts that if Tomic were in this draft he would be ranked in the top 5-6 big men and top 15 in the draft. A mature talented player like that that they can stash overseas one more year and...
