From the Ben Gordon trade?

[jonathanlambert33]

Bobcats receive the Pistons' 2013 first-round pick (top 14 protected in the 2013 draft, top 8 in 2014, top 1 in 2015, and unprotected in 2016)


There ya go

 

[Elite]

You guys won't lose it til 2015 then

 

[Pugz]

oh well shit. tank as fuck for next year lol

 

[CameronCrazy06]

If you guys had to build a team around one player in this draft, who would it be? Let's say you're starting from scratch so there's no talk of drafting based on need.

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Probably Bazz for me.

 

[Elite]

I'd take McLemore. I think he has the potential to be in the top 5 in the league in scoring for a long time.

 

[Teagz]

Benny Mac.

 

[Pugz]

id love to land bazz or mac

 

[bosoxlover12]

Napier

 

[RipCity32]

I was trolling

During Saturdays ugly 88-58 blowout loss at Tennessee, reporters covering the game overheard coach John Calipari yelling this at freshman guard Archie Goodwin as he headed to the bench, "I can't coach you!

During a timeout late in the game, Coach Cal didn't even speak to his players in the huddle. His rationale?I'm not wasting my breath here,he said afterwards. They're not listening. We have a couple of guys who aren't real coachable, he also said. You tell them what to do and they do their own thing.

Looks like that one-and-done entitled mentality that he essentially encourages from his players has finally bit him in the ass.

I liked Otto Porter at first, but now I just don't see it. He's not overly athletic, doesn't seem that quick, isn't much of a ball handler. I just don't see the upside. Solid role player who will stick in the NBA for a long time, maybe as a starter, but no real all-star potential. 12-14 ppg, solid defense I guess
 
And I say this after learning that the Cavs apparently love him as a prospect according to Chad Ford and other media outlets.
 
But the media was convinced last year that the Cavs No. 1 target after Davis last year was Bradley Beal, even though it was actually MKG.

ive read a lot that they love him, and im happy. really hoping if you draft ahead of us you take him, not that i would see you guys drafting a guard but youre in a position to just take bpa so you could still fuck us up.

I don't even know who I want. Len or Noel I guess. Noel is probably going #1 though so that's out of the question. Need to follow it up with GR3 or Pope at #15 if the Lakers slip in the post-season.
 
I think I might like GR3 more than Porter, and we can get him much later.
 
I like Giannis Adetokoubo too.
