Yay we get to confirm yet ANOTHER bust.

Beasley, Marcus Morris, Wes Johnson, Telfair, and now we get to add another one to the list!

So did I. But the fact that the T-Wolves forced Lee on to the Warriors and the Warriors dumped him on us has made me cool off him.

Wait was this part of the #30-#29 trade? Or is this a separate deal?

It makes me sick thinking of the possibility of the Lakers or Celtics ending up with Wiggins next year.

Man, can we trade Sarver and McDonough for Mark Cuban?

I like Cuban, but I guess he didn't learn from his mistake after he cleared all that cap room last time. Howard isn't going there so he's going to have no lottery talent coming in and a whole lot of space with nothing to do w/ it.

I'm a Ledo fan. Talented kid, but I'm very happy with Goodwin. I think he was McD's "Rondo" or "Bradley" pick. A super young combo guard (I know Rondo is a pure PG) that can attack the basket with abandon. Dragic is the only guy on our team that can do that right now. I expect to see him sub in next to Marshall and immediately go into attack mode with Marshall finding him on slashes to the basket frequently. Something like 35% of his offense came on cuts to the rim. We needed that desperately.

Soldier on guys. All is not lost yet.

That's obviously it. Take that salary to move up a pick. Still stupid of us. If they really wanted Goodwin, they would have taken him. We had Goodwin either way. No big deal though. And there is the small chance we like Lee too.

Celtics are clearly in tank mode, but I don't think the Lakers will be tanking. They still have Nash & Gasol. They won't let the team suck too much.

So now we have 3 guards who can't shoot? Hornacek better be a miracle worker because that's what we need.

Suns want Goodwin as a PG so I don't think he will be playing with Marshall. And playing with Marshall would be a disaster too cause both Goodwin and Marshall struggle shooting the ball.

I like Goodwin also but I think if we could have gotten Ledo, a back court of Dragic/Ledo would have been pretty nice and better than any 2 guard we have now.

Oh, they won't want to, but with the west shaping up, if they lose Howard for nothing they will be VERY hard pressed to make the playoffs. And if they Lakers even have a 1% chance of getting Wiggins, I'd be scared.

Here's the link to Noel being red flagged by our training staff... http://nbadraft.net/instant-analysis/2013

Nerlens Noel’s slide ends before it becomes catastrophic. He probably would’ve gone to the Suns, but their team doctors red flagged him (and considering their training staff’s rep, that could be a long term problem). While Hornets Pelicans fans might have dreams about teaming Noel up with fellow former Wildcat Anthony Davis, don’t be shocked if Noel gets traded soon. –Seth Sommerfeld

I wonder with AZ players going much higher than expected, if that means Mark Lyons has a chance at being drafted.

Am I the only one that thinks Dudley works best at the 3? Are we really going to resign Wes Johnson or are going to (gulp) going to sign JR Smith?

Revived · Post #675 » by **Revived** » Fri Jun 28, 2013 3:58 am

Looks like the Suns will get their boy CJ Leslie at #57.

That was awesome between Simmons and Doc! I loved the awkward silence when they cut back to the crew. :lol:

Is Deshaun Thomas still on the board? I know DJ Stephens is.

I don't think we will sign someone like JR Smith...he needs to go to competitive team. Wes Johnson...I don't know...maybe if he will sign for minimum or something.

I imagine we will fill as many positions as possible with rookies or undrafted free agents. No need for this team to sign any high priced free agents. We are obviously going to dump Gortat at some point, probably Scola and Dudley, and perhaps Dragic.
