Somebody tell this dude you can't throw out the word "core" when the "core" changes every single year.

A's over Royals. Lester and experience will prove that he's worth the trade.
Tigers winning it all. Tigers are, imo, peaking at the right time.
Yeah i think its the most sustainable way to build a team long term. If you look at franchises that have drafted well and developed well, they're usually consistently good over time. And it doesn't happen overnight, there’s a development process. A lot of the guys in the draft are as young as 19 years old so it takes time for them to mature and grow. But i think some of the most exciting things on our end and for the fans is to see a guy like Devin Booker at the beginning of his career…If you draft well every year, then you’ll have a consistently good team in time and it will be sustainable for a long time.

I see a big Problem next year. I don't think that we will get the 1st Pick to get Simmons. And another PF of the draft isn't ready for a starting job i think. I wish we have luck and can get a D-league steal like Whiteside
They announced PJ Tucker will be our long term starting PF. He will sign a 5 year deal this summer.

It was the 18th pick. We took Ennis. I believe we had the 14th and took Warren.

People on the trade forum, general board, etc. I bet anything we had two other options with first round picks. Likely Toronto, but Masai probably hates McD. I read someone on their forum say McD took Ennis two picks before their pick and tried to trade him for their pick AND Terrence Ross. I mentioned at the time I figured he probably tried to pry something out of picking their player, but someone there seemed to be pretty sure about that fact.

I mean, I like DMo plenty, but he's coming off a back injury and will get PAID this summer under the crazy cap, so it's not the end of the world to get a pick. And honestly, while many hate this draft, I think some guys I like will be available there.

I have yet to speak bad about McD; sure he makes mistakes, but he is no punk and will not be bullied, that says a lot. If you want to deal with PHX, come correct or don't come at all. I love it. Dude is strong in deals. Like a previous poster said, we are setting up right. If Knight looked to pass first, he could but us in a strong position for a top 2 pick. Trade Bledsoe:
Knight
Booker
Ingram/Simmons
Rabb
Len
TJ
Archie
Picks
at worst, Dunn.

Fixed that for you. I'm a fan of neither but you serously want the Knightmare running the point over Bled who at least looks for teammates?

we just gotta find the long limbed freak players. 2013 draft was pretty bad but they had two of those freak players in Giannis and Rudy Gobert.
