If we get 30 we can dump it for cap relief for all I care.

I'm still too traumatized from the last draft to start thinking about new prospects.

I would trade the 30th pick for Arron Afflalo if neither Lamb or our Italian rookie has a breakout year. Probably makes a little too much money though
investigate Adam Silver

This draft will be deep imo and we will get a good prospect late.
Grayson Allen, Malik Pope or Justin Jackson etc.
We need a bench at this point and we'll find role players there.

We are in win now mode. Just like I recommended last year we should trade the pick for a veteran who can contribute right now. The Belinelli trade is starting to look like a stroke of genius. Marco is wrecking SHOP off the bench while Malachi is still struggling just to prove he deserves an nba roster spot.

Adebayo could be a real blessing for this team. I hope i will have the opportunity to see him play. But on the paper (and videos) it's exactly the counterpart for Cody. And he his nba body ready.

I like Bam. A lot. But I'm not sure he has the BBIQ we like our players to have.
Still, getting him at the bottom of the draft would be a good upside pick.

I have watched 0 seconds of college basketball so far. I'm not sure I can name more than 5 players in college right now. It's shocking how little attention I pay to college these days, especially before March.
Ball dude at UCLA
Meeks at Carolina
Allen at Duke
[brain freeze]

I'm with you dude. Half the rookies in the NBA right now I'm literally seeing them for the first time ever. I've stopped caring since we became good.

Ball is the kid to know.
(Even though his jump shot looks like MKG and Josh Childress jump shots had a jump shot baby)
