He's still very raw. I would rather take Delon Wright who will likely be available at that spot and a more NBA ready prospect.
Agreed. But I think he's a worthwhile project. Toss him in the D-league and see what happens. The bigger the risk, the greater the reward.

Maybe look into blockbuster deal for somebody like Westbrook, Cousins, etc.

We should look elsewhere; Rondo is not the the player he used to be.

If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say all my restricted free agents would be out, and all my max guys would be out EXCEPT for Lopez (I think he's opting out). Therefore it wouldn't be too far-fetched to think we could acquire Brook. He was born in North Hollywood, so its kind of fitting. If we remain where we are in the draft, and get the fourth pick we'd be looking at Mudiay or Russell. Lets just say we select Mudiay. Cap wise, after we give Lopez the max, we've got room for a 3-4mil guy (Ed Davis), the mini MLE (Gerald Green?) and some minimums.
PG - Jordan Clarkson / Emmanuel Mudiay
SG - Kobe Bryant / Wayne Ellington / Jabari Brown
SF - Gerald Green / Nick Young
PF - Ed Davis / Julius Randle
C - Brook Lopez / Tarik Black

Is Brook a free agent? Im pretty sure he has one year left on his deal, I mean we could trade for him I guess. Robin Lopez is a free agent though, I wouldnt mind signing him. I think Green and Davis will get paid more money then what you stated.

Brook has a player option, and I read somewhere he will most likely opt out. You're probably right about teams paying Green and Davis more. Keep in mind I did up this board without knowing the estimated cap figures for next season (I believe its going up to 67 mil?).

scoobs07 wrote:If we draft a PG, and given this year's weak free agent class and with the cap going up drastically in summer 2016, I wouldn't mind offering a big contract to Robin Lopez. He has been a solid starting caliber nba center and since he has started to get solid minutes(28.5) the last three seasons, he has averaged 10.6ppg, 7.0rpg and 1.6bpg. Over the same three year span, he has averaged 13.5ppg, 8.8rpg and 2.0bpg per 36 minutes. In addition to that, he has been very durable, on pace to average 76 games during the 3 last 3 years. He is also still pretty young, he just turned 27 on April 1st. He is also not going to hurt is with his free throws, shooting a solid 76% to go along with 53% from the field. We might have to offer him a deal starting just under the max, maybe 4years/70 million to get him out of Portland. At lease we would solidify the center position with a rim protector, pairing him with Black. We would then have about 6 million to use on another free agent and then the 2.8 million room exception.

Minn stays at 2.....unlikely but there is a slim chance they might like Russell better there if he show well at camp. Mainly due to them having Dieng/Pekovic at the C spot....maybe they don't want to develop another big and like some have said Pekovic value is at all time low and I doubt many will trade for Pek w/o having Minn give them major assets to move the contract with Minn would not do.

So you think they'd rather develop Dieng/Pek over Wiggins/Rubio/LaVine/Muhammad?
I'm still thinking you draft that big on a rookie deal and do what you have to do with Pek or Dieng.
Anywho, a lot could change by June. Will be interesting to see.
