Dwane's system.... Lowry use the pick, shoot or pass to Derozan

Regarding everyone thinking Masai + Weltman will trade the picks, what exactly will he trade them for? I know it's strange for this team to have consecutive years of multiple first round picks, but the most likely scenario is always no deal. That means keeping the picks, or at most maybe trying to trade up. It's not a big deal since they could always take a draft and stash with one of the picks. Not like a rookie would get a ton of minutes anyway next year.

In 2020 the top 2 prospects are Canadian and Nigerian RJ barrett and charles bassey. That's probably the year you tank perfect for Masai lol

Isn't the roster going to 17 players next season? Get ready for the team to get younger. Ideally I would like to draft and stash and get 3-4 unsinged rookies. With masai scouting that's playing with house money.

"Creation of “two-way” contracts that will pay players who shuttle between their parent teams and Development League teams depending on where they’re playing. There will be additional roster spots on NBA teams as well to accommodate the two-way players. Players on those contracts will receive more money if they go to the D League, with the hope of keeping them from taking deals overseas."

Keep as many picks as we can, let PP walk, draft legit power forwards in the mold of Shawn Marion and that guy on golden state

Some great games last night in terms of prospects.

UNC v Duke
Oregon v UCLA

I would take Brooks with our second round pick - why not? He's Canadian and a good SF wit T-Rex arms.
I still don't know if Kennard will translate into the NBA game but he's a good scorer.
I know Grayson Allen is kind of loco but he's a good player. If a coach can control him he could be a steal.
Ball will 11 rebounds. :-O He's real good. The flavour right now is Isaac but Ball is going to be an All-Star in the NBA.
I would take Giles with a first round pick. He's not there and he can't contribute for a few years but the potential is there. However watching Parker always hurting his knee is scary. Giles has potential to be good.

If we somehow we get Ibaka without giving up these 2 picks I'll be impressed and keeping these 2 picks are beneficial because Demar/Lowry/Ibaka will eat up all our cap space.

I get the feeling his wingspan will change when he's measured at the combine, but I could be wrong.

I would be surprised if we have two picks by end of season. If we try and get an upgrade at SF or PF before trade deadline one of those picks will be in play...

Brooke reminds me of Wes Mathews a bit before injurys...

Undersized a bit but can shoot it, attack the rim and help out on the boards a bit
