I think the individual bandwagon threads are too much. You can convincingly make one for 20+ players and clutter up the forum.

We'll ensure its limited to the few names that are pegged to be in our draft pick area. All others will be locked.

Yeah some of em were fine but you guys should probably lock the bandwagon threads and allow a draft thread. I mean the Donatas one is fine but there are too many draft threads.

And sadly there will be many, many, many more to come.

Updated the OP w/ new threads. I don't want to add any more, looks like we got all angles covered.

So we're only allowed to have 6 bandwagons? This is a slight at Jimmer Freddette and an absolute outrage.

Added the Combine thread to OP.

I mean we could have a few more....Kanter needs one for example.

Should lock the Enes Kanter thread now that he's said his dues. Just IMHO.

Just change title to: "Enes Kanter Bashing Thread" or someone else suggested "Enes Kanter Unbandwagon Thread"

Why was Alec Burks bandwagon thread locked?

I guess the MODS felt he wasn't in our range?

BC himself mentioned right after the lottery that Burks is one of the players we are looking at. :dontknow:

Alec Burks needs a bandwagon thread.

Why no interest in Thompson or Joseph? Don't see why we couldn't try to trade down for Thompson at least

Why would we trade down and get a lesser player at a position where we already have a glut (Bargnani, Johnson, Ed Davis)? When there are better players that fit our needs much better available to us at #5?

I guess Adam is the posters name as well?

If we get another pick in the lottery I'm okey with either Alec Burks or Kawhi Learned... I think Alec Burk and derozen complement each other very well, I think Alec Burk is a pure shooting guard who can handle little bit point guard, while Derozens skills are more suited for the small forward position and I don't think Derozen at 6'7 210 pound is undersized to play the small forward position... I will be more than happy with a lineup in future ..Kemba/ Alec Burk/ Derozen/ Ed Davis/ ???
