Towns and Okafor will go 1 and 2, interchangeable.

They both desperately need a center.

Thanks for winning those two games after giving us an absolute train wreck of a season. Fans don't give a rats ass about the scrubs that were on this team this year. What an absolute dysfunctional franchise, can't even lose right.

This is pretty sad though. We were the worst team in the league this year, no reason we shouldn't have had ended the season with the worst record.


We didn't, Minnesota did. :wink:

I'm actually ok with this. It was always top 4 or bust from me. Not happy, but would have been devastated not to have been able to get one of Okafor, Towns, Russell, or Mudiay.

U can find all stars at number 4, u just have to be able to be smart enough to pick them.

I had a feeling relying on ping pong balls would hurt us... But I'll take 4th as long as we keep the pick

we're going to end up with a spectacular player - no need to be upset. mudiay is the real thing and could end up being the best player out of this class when it's all said and done. of course my heart is still with d'angelo but i just can't see philly passing on him.

You guys are insane. Russell/Mudiay will be the pick unless the Lakers take one of the PG's. This is great and we will be drafting our best player in years. Relax, Mudiay is a special talent with great character and will work his ass off. The whining on here is ridiculous.

You can't really be pissed. 4th pick was the single most likely one. The odds were 50-50 of being in the top 3 versus last two. No surprise really. Just not great luck. We're used to that.


didn't phil & mills have a town meeting and claim they weren't trading the pick. and around here, all i heard was the pick was gonna save the franchise. it's funny to me how quickly it's going in the other direction.

At least the Towns vs Okafor debates are now over. I didn't like neither of them.

Can't see Sacramento making the deal now for #4 - so Cousins is off the table as well. Oh well...we have three seasons to add FAs.
