Wrong. We own our 2016 as well as the Knicks 2016 1st(nuggets can swap with Knicks)

So we are gonna have 2-1st rounders in 2016. Ours and whoevers is worse between ny and Denver

I knew the Heat would come back down to earth. If only our guys could have made their free throws.

Tonight Bosh looked like he was really out of it. Too many times he just floated around on the perimeter.
Wade playing well but the question with him is his body holding up for 82 games. Seems so unlikely.

Fournier is a baller :o

If Ross doesn't show significant improvement this year I would try and make a trade for Fournier. At 22, I see some crazy upside. Move JJ into the starting lineup and give him all of Lou's minutes. I would also consider him an insurance policy if the absolute worst case happens and DD dips after his contract.

I realize I am very far from mainstream thinking on this one...

No because he said Denver can swap with us and that's not true. Our pick isn't involved at all.

He obviously was referring to the Knicks pick.

I swear... I hated those long west coast road trips, when the games would start at like 10:30 and I'd continue watching fully knowing that we're getting blown out by half time. Now, it seems like the prayers have been answered lol we go out and posterize people and beat them as well.

That's nasty, I'm tired of seeing weak defense. When our franchise is finally moving to the right direction, you want to get back to how we were before? I'd rather have Ross than Fournier and it's not even close. Fournier as an insurance for Demar? lol come on man :lol: Ross can be a game changer on the defensive end, when Ross does well or decent, we end up winning the game more times than not. Fournier is definitely a decent player, replacing Ross with Fournier would be terrible... we'd have so many defensive break downs, it would be like having Jose guarding D wade.

Anybody thinking about 2015 Draft? :lol: I know we have other things on our minds but I was thinking about 2015 draft and what weakness we should address. Rebounding for one. I think we need a good defender in PF or C position. We could develop a PF that could eventually become Amir's replacement.

There isn't a whole lot you can address with the 30th pick in the draft. :wink:

It's easier if we all just say "we get the Knicks pick or the Nuggets pick, whichever is worse". Since both look terrible, there's a good chance both are lotto picks anyway. More bullish on NY turning it around with the cap space they'll have next off-season.

No you're not. Masai drafted him and Fournier is a better fit in this line-up. He's 6-7, can hit the three, can slash and can be a good back-up to Demar or play a similar attacking game like Demar. He is a true SG and he's younger than Ross. His D is worse and he's not as athletic but it's not a bad ideal.

It's not completely crazy, but JJ in the starting lineup with DD, Amir and JV would be awful offensively. We need a 3-point threat out there besides Lowry.
