Chad Ford talking to Matt Dery, both said they've heard we may go Stanley over Justise if it happens that way because Justise's attitude was so bad when in Detroit.

Wow. I wonder why? Was he so arrogant to think that he'd be picked before 8 so he didn't give a f--k? This isn't a good time for these guys to have a bad attitude.

How many draft threads are we going to have going? It's kind of annoying trying to keep up with 2 threads.

He was acting like a dick to the media and not acting aggressive on Defense like Johnson was. Winslow acted like he really didn't want to be here.

I think Winslow was his own worst enemy with his pre-draft workouts, or lack thereof. He should fire his agent the second he gets drafted if he's not in the top-5.

That sucks. I think most of us prefer Winslow over Johnson, but I'm curious how does this affect people's opinions (if true)? Is it a red flag, or do you think he'll get his attitude straightened when (if) he lands here? Or do you take a guy like Johnson who would love to play for Detroit

I doubt Stan will pass on Winslow.

Really. Dery said David Mayo from MLive and our lovable Vince Ellis got treated like crap with some BS answers from Winslow. Bower was asked on 105.1 why the new regime allows them to talk to the media and he said it's like an extended part of their interview.

From Chad Ford's chat today, very interesting...

If, and it's a big IF, the Kings traded Cousins to the Lakers, what would be their best combo at 2 and 6? Okafor and Mudiay? Or Russell and WCS?

I would think Russell - Cauley-Stein for the way George Karl wants to play. I also don't think you should rule out Porzingis at No. 2 -- Porzinigs and Mudiay would be my favorite result. By the way, it sounds like Nikola Vucevic could end up in Sacramento with 2 going to the Magic in that deal

Another tidbit, this time involving us:

Hi Chad, I've read on a lot of places that Hezonja's camp wants him to go to the Pistons and it seems like a perfect fit. Why aren't they trying to move up to get him?

They should because I don't think he's there at 8.He's worth moving up a few spots. If he's gone, it's Stanley Johnson or Sam Dekker or Winslow. But I think they lean Johnson.

Behavior in interviews is important, can't tell you how many people I've passed over because of bad attitudes.

That would be cool. Russell or Porzingis for sure. I think. Lakers could go Russell and Philly could go Porzingis. A lot of wildcards. Not sure what we have that would want New York to trade with us.
