Put me on the Hezonja train as well. The issue with most Euro prospects is that they can be too passive or soft. You don't have to worry about...
Yeah, the chances of getting Middleton are still low, but I'm just saying...... that's what hedge funds do. They buy to sell. NBA teams are just...
I think the fact that they are owned by a hedge-fund only raises the possibility of the Bucks letting Middleton go. Hedge funds are only...
^ So basically they have identical stats finishing at the rim and shooting 3's, but Clarkson is a much better mid-range shooter.
Every small market team has a breaking point. I'm not sure the Bucks are ready to dish out $15+ million for just a solid role player.
Yeah I kind of feel the same way... The only position I wouldn't draft is PF, and fortunately there aren't any top prospects at that position.
Do it Mitch! Yeah, it's impossible to predict what Philly will do with their pick.
In terms of defense, I feel we have a greater need for perimeter defense over interior defense. Because, quite frankly, Kobe is now a liability...
And I agree with your assessment on Wesley. Still does not change my stance that we need to fill that SF hole asap, as our 1st priority.
Noah, Gasol, Howard, Davis, Noel, Perkins, Chandler, Horford, Ibaka, Varejao, Splitter, Duncan, Monroe, Bogut, Aldridge, Drummond, Cousins, Asik,...
Defensive bigs are dime a dozen as well...... if wings are so readily available, how come we had Wesley Johnson starting for us the last couple of...
Like you mentioned, if we draft Russell he won't start (neither would any other guard in the draft) Clarkson and Kobe will start at the 1 and 2,...
I wonder what his market value is. Would you throw the max at him?
And if we draft Russell, with Middleton, they could emerge as one of the most potent and deadly 3-point shooting backcourts in the league.
Good point. Middleton is my #1 FA regardless of our draft pick.
That won't be a problem for us. We will have at least Randle, Davis, and Black who can play 4. Middleton will be asked to play 3 almost...
I was under the impression that Middleton was a SG-SF. He is way too undersized (height and weight) as a PF. In fact, that's what the NBA has...
I had a thought regarding the increasing salary cap and backloaded contracts. If the cap were really going to raise to 100+ million by 2017-2018,...
Randle isn't going anywhere. After all the anticipation, we owe it to ourselves to witness this kid develop as a Laker.
