Yeah I read about that a week ago. Caught me by surprise. Don't know much about his game to form an opinion (maybe someone here who does can shed some light on him.) For what it's worth, past Rising Stars winners included Rudy Fernandez, Bargnani, Ricky Rubio and Gallinari.

Friend of mine who follows Euroleague said that he is the best player in EL right now.

With a name like that he's automatically a scrub.

Looks like an absolute scrub. He couldn't have contributed not a damn thing to our team. I mean for God sake, we had James White.

Add his rights in the deal with #10 and the TPE for Chandler. Acquire as many assets as we can while remaining somewhat competitive.

That would be very nice deal for us.

Not only do we get the #10, we get Kostas, TPE and I believe in doing the trade we regain flexibility to potentially use our full MLE along with ability to do Sign and Trades.

In theory you would be adding a legit player at #10 (best available) and another legit prospect at #24 -- along with Kostas who could be a nice candidate for the SF spot next to Melo. Then you still have the TPE to go out and sign a servicable BIG to replace Chandler and still have use of MLE and other avenues.

SO GOOD THAT IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. :(
