Looks like you might have some more editing to do. 8-)

So their vets (besides Thad) are injured but they just shocked the Blazers. They've got some good talents.

Hey Doc, just to let you know I undoubtedly feel your sentiment towards the pick. I know we've has some discussion on that topic and I don't want you to think I'm all for just washing that away. Hell if this was the year to keep a pick and finish low enough to keep it.......THIS IS THE YEAR my man !

Okafor, Towns, Cauley-Stein and Johnson is all I've been thinking about. Even if we couldn't get Jahlil or Towns I'd take Cauley-Stein or Johnson in a heartbeat. These guys can help your team asap.

I can't even think of prospects at a time like this because the pick isn't even guaranteed at our current rate.

Its really irritating. We should want this pick more just to keep it out of the hands of the Suns. All the prospect talks is kind of pointless until we make sure we can secure a successful losing season.

Stop worrying about the stupid draft/pick. ... If the Lakers aren't worried about the pick then neither should you.

lol this pick aint something you can just lose 5 games at the end of the year and retain

gotta get that work in early and stay ahead of the curve

like racing, you gotta have pole position in order to finish on the podium and not leave it until it's too little too late to do anything about it

we're not getting the pick. there are far worse teams than us who are deliberately tanking. we on the other hand are in denial.

I'd worry about retaining our own pick if we hadn't acquired one from Houston. Granted it will be in the 20's, but I'm hoping we can add another 2015 late first through trades.

In a way, having a late first will be better because it won't tie up as much FA money.

Tanking only promote bad habits. I would rather developed good habits for their players than keeping the pick
