I'd like to see a trade, but I'd prefer it didn't involve the picks. I'd much rather look to make a move with the Foye/Smith/Miller/Gomes/Bassy and the expirings. I wouldn't mind Gomes or Bassy sticking around because I could see a role for them down the road as backup PG and jack of all trades, I don't see where the others fit going forward.

whether or not the picks get moved depends a lot on who's coming back

Admit it, you stole that from the Ndubi Ebi scouting report didn't you?

I didn't know anything about Ndudi except that he wasn't Leandro Barbosa, the main guy I cared about for that spot. (I know, you're making fun of my previous obnoxious comment)

Thank goodness that I am not the only one that gets that crappy movie and sound stuck in my head. Every dang time...

I've decided my perfect draft.

Derozan

Holiday

Sam Young/Wayne Ellington

I would love either Derozan or Holiday, but I don't know if I have the patience to watch them both learn the game for the next three years. Young would be a steal with the Boston pick.

That's a good point. So you are looking to take one flyer with potential and then have someone who is more NBA ready now? I can see that logic, thing is...I have a feeling you have Harden in mind and the more I watch him the less I want him. He reminds me of Ryan Gomes at SF. I admit that's not the worst thing we could get, but man that's a low ceiling for a #6 pick.

At the very least, Harden's game is much more complete than Gomes. He can pass, handle, and create better than Gomes.

Ya, I like Harden...Lots of people have been so down on his tournament performance that they forget he's only like 18. He could be really big in the NBA depending on how he develops.

Harden turns 20 in 4 months. They all could be really big depending on how they develop. Or they could all be busts.

Evans. I think Evans is ready now to an extent, but has great potential due to his length and athleticism.

Yes, except for Evans. Evans will re-write the record book.
