Bledsoe paired with McLemore could be very very awesome.

Slightly OT: In your opinion, Is this site worth a bookmark? I used to follow "Howard The Dunk"(Andrew Mel), but now that's "Presto In The Paint", with a new writer.

My buddy Brett Roberts is running it now! (AKA Nene, here on RealGM)

Oh that's cool. I believe that's the poster with the Djokovic avatar. I'll rebookmark it.

Melnick just joined MBO yesterday (I think), so for you, probably yes

I don't read the blog, but I do follow their twitter feed, which is usually pretty good

I would do it but I think you have to throw some picks in for Indiana and Clippers to entertain the thought

Apparently they agree with you cause the PS4 is basically a pc.

With your personal business, would you gamble this way? Would you pay 70% of your bills for things you don't use just for a very slim chance that you will get a return. Because, more than half the players taken in the actual lottery part of the draft end up being bench players. Then, maybe only (1) or (2) out of every draft end up All-Stars. Thus, you are looking at maybe 10% chance of getting a player that can make a difference. Otherwise, you are looking at players that may help you to .500.

I see no reasonable reason to tack on more salary for a mid round pick. If it was top 5, hell yeah! Otherwise, hell no.

THIS, I dont understand why everyone thinks we wont miss on a mid 1st? What makes you believe that Henny is going to find a real deal player at 14? It is a crapshoot picking in the top 5 let alone top 20!

Now, I like Henny, but it is just as easy to get a Kwame as a Dwight. Better yet, what if you get a Greg Oden. If you go thru it all, probably 80% of top 5's don't even pan out like they should.

Henny is not a miracle worker and I will NOT put my faith into him until he can prove me wrong. Because, he did good with Vucevic, Harkless shows potential while I am not sold on him yet and Henny did take back Al Harringtons contract. Thus, Henny is no Money Ball man if he takes bad contracts when trading away the best Center in the world.

In fairness, you forgot about drafting Nicholson and O'Quinn, and signing Moore out of nowhere, and picking up a potential diamond in the rough in Jones.

Half the roster is basically on Henny, and looks promising for the future.

I'm not advocating trading for mid range picks. I think they're very risky and would generally prefer keeping a known quantity over trading for a risk. But I do have some faith in Henny, based on the job he has done so far.

Well, at least someone is getting traded, granted it's only Morris. Boring

The next Xbox is rumored to have 8gb of DDR3 ram. The PS4 will have 8gb of DDR5 ram.

Sony learned from their mistakes with making the PS3 difficult to develop for and will use a PC type design. Not to mention Sony always brings it with 1st and 3rd party developed games.

Microsoft is about the Kinect and social media. They stopped caring about the core gamers a long time ago.
