LamarMatic's cousin. You guys have sold me on him. This consensus mock that Laimbeer posted is a really likely scenario.

I went with my man Payne, but Porzingis is likely.

    Lol. I like it how you and I are high on Grant. I'm not 9th pick high on Grant, but I damn well am on Payne. I think we both want to try and solve the same problem.

      Without a new coach and Al gone I think that problem is here to stay no matter who we add.

      going with Lamar's cousin as well.

      If we did draft a big, I would really want to trade Al.

      Start a rebuild with the young bigs.

      If Porzingas is still on the board, I will absolutely **** revolt if we pass on him.

      Not super high on Porzingis, but seems to be the best player available. Got to go with him.

      Looks like a Porzingis runaway. Thanks for playing, folks.
