But like is that really that much better than somebody like devin...I think brandon can be good but 3 overall just cements how weak this draft is.

I'd say it's better than Harris. The scoring/assists will probably be similar, but Knight is a much better shooter.

Harris is solid, but he has had injury issues his whole career. Why not get a guy like Knight who will be a good back-up, and probably a good starter when Harris is out.

If they don't take Knight or Walker at #3, I think they probably will take Jimmer. But I kinda want Jimmer to go to Indy or somewhere like that.

Jimmer at #3?!?!?!

Or do you mean at #12? LOL

12 of course lol. I love Jimmer, but that would be stupid. Like if they don't pick a PG with #3, they could easily take Jimmer at #12.

I know.

I was messin' with ya.

So you think if they take a PG at #3, they won't take Jimmer at #12?

 

[The Young One]

I wouldnt bank on Jimmer being there at 12...supposedly Sacramento loves him.

 

[Elite]

And Sacramento wonders why they haven't made the playoffs in like 6 years

Yeah, this post is pretty damn spot on.

Jimmer isn't going to be the missing piece of the puzzle for the Kings.

Oh. I wouldn't expect Biyombo to hit anything out of dunk range. LOL

Isn't he Ben Wallace 2.0?

In the sense that he's a 6'9" center with no offensive ability... Not saying he will ever have the career Big Ben did.

even his defense isnt what bens was.

So you think if they take a PG at #3, they won't take Jimmer at #12?

Yeah, no point in drafting 2 PGs with your only 2 picks in the draft. They have other needs.

And I highly doubt Sacramento will draft Jimmer, even though they like him.

Jimmer had 5 work-outs and supposedly all 5 of those teams love him. He should of done more workouts.

Do you see any draft night trades happening??

I think there will be a bunch. Teams are telling me that trade talk really started picking up on Tuesday. Cavs are looking at potential deals using the No. 4 pick and either Baron Davis or Ramon Sessions. Jazz looking for deals. Would be open to discussing Paul Milsap or Devin Harris. Wizards looking to add talent around John Wall. Pistons are being active. Rockets have been very aggressive (as they often are). Bucks have made draft day trades past 2 years and are being aggressive again.

Interesting stuff. Jazz open to trading Millsap or Harris....hmmmm. I hope the Blazers find a way to get Sessions. Pistons being active makes me LOL.

why does that make you lol? new owner, new mentality. we couldnt do anything before cause the team was owned by cheap skates. now, i do hope something happens though..

 

[lonesomefx]

okay, now as a Knicks fan and Kentucky fan... you all are gonna say "#HomerGoggles" but if a team like the knicks were able to trade up high enough for a player like Knight, he could really have a chance to be something special. give him a year under Chauncey's wing and he could learn a lot. The kid is academically gifted and a great learner. He can stroke the ball. He has all the signs of being a really good player in this league. His ceiling is a lot higher imo, then people give him credit for. He picks up on the things fast. He just needs a good enough teacher. These are my honest beliefs.

2 words....Joe Dumars.

we couldnt spend money..


not his choice. understand that? our new owner gave him three years to do whatever he can to turn our team around.


do i think dumars is as good as before? no. but i do believe hes going to try harder now.

 

[DJT]

He has to try harder now, he's on a short leash.

 

[Pugz]

thats what i just said. lol.

 

[DJT]

Yeah, but it doesn't mean he has yet. lol

 

[Pugz]

what can you do now? everyone is waiting for the draft and then the cba is gonna screw everyhting...

 

[DJT]

From my knowledge I think they can make trades now. Seems like a lot of trades might go down draft day.
