top 4 is still not bad man, you guys haven't had a great PG since forever so it would good to get someone like Rusell deliver highlight reels.

Towns doesn't want to go to Minny.

Hopefully Okafor is a better fit with the young run and gun style of Minny.

Maybe the Lakers can make an Offer so they can get the pick they want.

I would say F U phi but they still got 3rd and will probably get Russell who they want anyways....maybe the curse of evan Turner repeats itself lol

now that this is over, I want Russell over Okafor. saw on twitter that Flip may prefer Okafor to Towns

RealGM fail.

Anyways, very happy. I'm pretty sure Minny goes to Towns and we'll have the choice between Russell and Okafor.

This is terrific. I'm so happy. Tanking this season was so worth it.

Bigs won't be better than the perimeter guys coming out but they are assets. Them being assets means we have a chip to trade for Russ or Cousins. I can deal with that. Take which ever is left as that is the best asset

Sign rondo to Nash's old deal.
Pay Hibbert to come over and anchor our D
Give the room exception to a wing that actually knows how to play ala Gerald Green

Rondo
Clarkson
Kobe
Randle
Hibbert

Okafor
Young
Green
Black

Rondae Hollis Jefferson and Upshaw with 27 and 34

Don't bring Kelly, Sacre, Wes, Lin, or Wayne back

True dat hopefully this is the same scenario like oden/durant draft

We will be getting the PG that Philly does not like unless we go bold and gamble on guys like Porzingis. This is unless you guys rock the boat and take Mudiay ahead of Okafor.

You gotta go with Okafor I think. A center with that kind of skill is unmissable.

May be Phil trades the pick altogether, which I read was a strong possibility if you don't get top 2.

It's not all bad. Russell or Winslow will both be excellent complementary players to Melo.

Minny wouldn't care - In the day and age, teams don't care what the players want (and they shouldn't). If they want him, they'll pick him. Period.

Sixers will probably take Russell over Mudiay. I'm not sure if Mudiay will excel in the triangle offense. You guys would know. :lol:
