I mean at this point we should fleece the Kings just to do it.

You guys think we'll have Chriss run the 3 in the future? Or just have Bender play the 5?

I made that great point two pages ago!

Bledsoe
Booker
Warren
Chriss
Bender

That's in the future...but great for small ball...and it's not really even small, and rebounding is a huge problem for now...but still we have so many options for lineups in the future.

You posted this lineup twice already BW, are you trying to get people to say it is good

I guess you missed my point. I was saying I already posted it and showed it again.

The climax is right after the trade was announced, details still muddy and posters saying Bledsoe or Knight has got to be involved involved. They are just convinced it has to be one of them as part of the trade

And then

When I see this quote on the board, the entire second paragraph and tweet is missing.

That would really suck if for whatever reason the trade didn't go through and we ended up with who they wanted at 13.

I added it in after. Didn't wanna do a new post by itself without the first para.

I'm a bit down about losing Bobo. Been getting hyped about him for a little while now. I think he'll be back eventually ala Dragic

Best part about working until after the lottery: seeing the posts change from calling Chriss a bust to how amazing he is. Lol

Love the draft so far.

This is gotta be a record of international players in the first round.

I still think he becomes more of a SF down the line... he doesnt have the rebounding and post defense mentality (yet?)

Yeah, for Oladipo, Sabonis, and Ilyasova

Thunder got two young good players and a stretch 4 for a quickly declining Ibaka.

OKC raping the Magic for a player on the decline. Sabonis could replace a lot of his production and then you add in Oladipo and Ilyasova as bonuses.
