Guess it's Porzingas

LamarMatic's cousin. You guys have sold me on him. This consensus mock that Laimbeer posted is a really likely scenario.
investigate Adam Silver

I went with my man Payne, but Porzingis is likely.

Lol. I like it how you and I are high on Grant. I'm not 9th pick high on Grant, but I damn well am on Payne. I think we both want to try and solve the same problem.

Without a new coach and Al gone I think that problem is here to stay no matter who we add.

Re: RealGM 2015 Fan Forum Mock Draft - CHA #9
going with Lamar's cousin as well.
If we did draft a big, I would really want to trade Al.
Start a rebuild with the young bigs.

If Porzingas is still on the board, I will absolutely **** revolt if we pass on him.

Not super high on Porzingis, but seems to be the best player available. Got to go with him.

Looks like a Porzingis runaway. Thanks for playing, folks.
