I had a nightmare that we drafted Dario Saric with the 20th pick.

Never read the thread: but....

If...

99% of this thread is not we need to trade Lowry whos contact for any contender or want to be contender is not on cloud 9 they are nuts. Guy is playing on a bargain expiring contact and playing at the at a insane level. Good young prospect or mid expiring at least.

all the top six franchise changers have proven to be lacking, yet I'd be happy to trade'em all cause they really do suck and no combination of a select few and the best one will get us anywhere

He'll go higher than that though, so that's more of a pipe dream. Hezonja or die trying.

My stance is:

Lowry has great value-trade him Novak, Tyler H for a young prospect/picks. All three should have decent value to a playoff team. Even with GV being a passable starter, our PG depth post trade would make the team bad enough that we'll be lottery bound.

Everyone calm down. We're just going to tank next year when there's no competition.

You've just got to tip your hat to teams like the Bucks, Sixers and Jazz and realize that the Raps likely arent getting a top 3 pick this year. No wiggins, no parker. Just not happening.

Therefore, is it really worth it to gut the team, get rid of DeMar, Amir, etc for a guy like Exum or Marcus Smart?

MCW was drafted 11th in a weak draft. Are we convinced getting rid of our best players and being awful will get us a PG better than that?

Drummond was drafted 9th, Paul George 10th. If we hang on to Val/DeMar/Amir/Ross, we can win the divison and aim for a PG or SF in the 10-15 range. There are a TON of good PGs this year, also some excellent SFs as well.

Some decent results so far tonight.

You can't control injuries to players from other teams. If one of Lowry or Amir goes down... which is a certainty to at least Lowry based on his history, this team is in trouble. The Nets are totally screwed

We're done guys - **** pick in this draft coming up.

Might as well get used to battling for 8th for the rest of our lives.

Another win in the books. We will have the best record in the league of the teams who planned to tank.
