Hennigan and his crew are very "methodical" as he put it. He is definitely ALL IN on the Wiggins draft. He knows that's the 2014 draft could be his "Get out of Jail Free" card :lol:

He is going as hard as he can to find his Durant.

We will have 7 active players tomorrow vs Memphis if Jameer is still hurt. That game will be ugly.

In this old DraftExpress video, Lamb says he tries to model his game after Penny Hardaway. FF to 1:14.

My response to today is an overwhelming 'Meh'.

Hate to see JJ go, but completely understand why. As far as the return goes, I would have preferred a pick to what we got just because even a 20's pick can magically turn into something extra on draft night if the right guy falls or some GM falls in love with a guy. Either way, he wasn't gonna return anything earth-shaking at this point (though maybe if Henny had tried to make a deal sooner...) . Don't like the fact that it sounds like we came out on the wrong side of the salary ledger again, but could be wrong about that.

The TPE swap isn't especially clever, it is just the kind of thing that competent GMs are supposed to do since they have all year to ponder this stuff.

Happy that Ayon, Ish, and McBob are gone...nice to have some new guys to check out. Happy that it FINALLY looks like we might dig into the D-League a little bit to fill our last slot.

Doron is def an underrated passer. I think he may surprise some people here.

He was a HUGE part of Kentucky winning it all. Big time glue guy for them.

He may not be the lamb we wanted, but maybe he'll turn into something... and that video reveals why he picked #1 for his jersey number... he's a penny fan. hah.

He must be pretty high on Harris or Lamb...

Would have to think he could have easily obtained a 1st round pick from one of those teams.

Henny sounded very high on both of them. He said Lamb was a 1st round talent in their eyes and Harris was a better option than a first round pick this year.

He's got a PER of 3.2. Maybe he should try something else.
