Some will boo, few will cheer, most won't care.

Yep. I for one won't give a ****.

Isaiah Austin >>> Nerlens Noel

Not sure why UK didn't pursue him instead.

Is there anyone good who we could REALISTICALLY get using either of our TPEs? (we got one for ryan too right?)

Tyrus Thomas
Charlie Villanueva
Danny Granger (less likely, and may require picks)
Emeka Okafor
Francisco Garcia
Richard Jefferson
Amir Johnson
etc.

With that said, I don't think we want anyone good. The whole point right now is to be bad.

Good for him, then.

Man, this kid looks way more polished than Noel, and physically he looks beastly.

i think the best scenario for the TPE's is to acquire someone whos garbage for them while aquiring a pick ALA what the cavs did with baron davis and getting kyrie though i dont think they used the tpe on that perticular trade. anyways you want someone who has a bad contract that a team will trade a pick to get rid of said player.

I want my boy Adams also. Head to head with Noel he got the better of him. His sister just won a gold in London for shot put so he is of a good athletic family. And most importantly he is extremely humble. Not many sure fire top picks choose a school like Pitt (hard nose pay your dues and earn it the hard way).

It's a 7'1" guy with handles of a guard.

It'll definitely be an interesting year of college basketball. I don't think some of these guys are sure 1 and dones.

talented but slow laterally and with the ball. Needs to develop that 7 foot frame and stay in the paint.

?? is it because they are already under contract?

I'm kinda hoping they move jj, affalo, and Harrington to get
Ore youth. Maybe the tpe for a player on the last year of a bad contract if it lands us Another potential first round pick. I just don't see the point of hanging on to those guys if we're tanking. Resign liggit, bring Ish back. Keep jameer and baby on as vets. Done

"If a team acquires a player in a trade, they are allowed to trade that player straight-up for another individual player immediately. However, if they wish to package that player with another and make a trade, the team must wait 60 days before doing so." - Wikipedia, "NBA Salary Cap"
