Also i'm sorry if anything I said was construed as trolling, that wasn't my intention, and you guys have alot of awesome posters here, that deserve better than some of the moves management has made. However some posters here do fly off the wall with the really insulting scrub talk and put downs of other teams, which seems really petty when talking about a team that has swept the season series, 3 of the games coming before the trade your board though and I shouldn't have reacted.
Also ignore pacersrule, he's a pure troll, and not a nuanced one at that.
Hopefully you guys have some lotto luck, this draft may seem top heavy, but there are always a few players that will suprise from the mid/ late lotto. The number 10 pick has been money actually historically, and hendo looked alot better than I thought he would, I guess LB really was holding him back to a huge amount, I liked him coming out of Duke, but was disapointed by his rookie campaign and the early part of this year.
If you guys do happen to draft a future star in the you have the makings of a nice starting lineup, especially if Tyrus Continues to realize his potential, which is still ridiculously high if he goes all out with his athleticism. Also you guys really need a PF in the worst way, no shots from boris diaw? I mean the assists are nice but you need to be at least a token threat to score the ball. Perry Jones would look pretty nice at the four, particularly since he wouldn't be replacing someone that is that physical in the first place in Diaw, and even if he ends up being a 3 in the NBA Jackson could be moved for a solid four once he's due to expire.
I don't think your future is as dim as the guys at ESPN (though the homer in me doesn't mind them predicting us as the 7th best future

) would have everyone believe, but at this point tanking needs to happen, because you need that one elite piece to build around.
