Even if we miss the playoffs will probably only have a low level lottery pick.

Do you honestly believe that another late Lotto pick is gonna make a lick of difference?

Will that make our guys shoot 3s better?

Will that make our team defend better?

Will that make Drummond come correct every night?

Will that make RJ healthy?

Will that make SVG put the ball in Harris' hands more?

IF you answer no on those than WTF do we want with another young kid that will barely crack the rotation?

Heat and Hornets are winnable games. Reggie might be back for those last couple, so Celtics and Hawks are probably winnable too.

Step away from the ledge.

Agreed. Another Stanley Johnson / Henry Ellenson means absolutely nothing to this team.

If we drafted well they would..... Devin Booker or Myles Turner sure would look good right about now.

I'm not saying it will make a difference, i'm just saying that's where we're headed.

I personally remain unconvinced by Drummond, and i would gamble on trading him away on high value while we can.
