From a talent standpoint

You meant Jeff George for McLemore right?

Oladipo is the better all round player so your comparison is a little off.

The GB has a thread entitled: Cho almost got fired. Time for the 'tards to come out.

WORD

But how far up? Don't they need a PG?

They can probably get Burke at 7.

Oladipo is a bonafide role player, even his coach thinks its an insult to compare him to D-wade. however Bill Self claims hes the most talented player hes ever coached.

They can but if they are including him they can get to 4 in my opinion.

McLemore is a bonefish head case. Everyone watched him disappear in games. Jeff George had tons of talent but 0 between the ears.

How is Cho on the hot seat when Rod Higgins still has a job?

But they don't need to go that far up to get Burke. They need to go as far as 6 with the Pelicans. Kanter/Anthony Davis.

They're picking 14th, as far as I'm concerned Kanter and 14 is enough for 4.

Hes a headcase like drummond? McLemore isn't a headcase bro, he may not have a killer instinct, but we have Kemba for those type of situations

What if the Pelicans only require Kanter for 6 rather than Kanter + 14? What if the Pelicans have more to offer than we do? We might have to bust out that Portland pick

My point is if you can get to 4 and make sure nobody jumps ahead for the same price then you make sure you cannot be jumped.

Why not go higher if they have the option? If they have their sights on a guy and they're willing to give up Kanter for him, they're not gonna risk waiting to 6 when they can jump as high as 4.

Great lets go ahead and draft a scared shell of a player who is only able to shoot and can't dribble. That sounds like a wonderful waste of a pick. Listen I am fine with taking a risk on him if Oladipo is gone but don't gamble if you won't have to. Take the better player with the higher floor right now and be thankful.

For a move that big it is doubtful that they get it with just Kanter. Also they still risk us or Phoenix trading with someone else that wants Burke.

Trade 1 - Bobcats select Ben McLemore and trade Ben McLemore + Ben Gordon to the Pelicans for pick 6 and Eric Gordon

Trade 2 - Bobcats select Trey Burke and trade Burke and POR pick to the Utah Jazz for Kanter

Kemba Walker
Eric Gordon
Michael Kidd-Gilchrist
Bismack Biyombo
Enes Kanter
