Hey all, good game, Ulis and Williams look really nice. Glad to see Warren's picked back up too (though I admit I wish it weren't this game lol). See you next time!

What did you think of Chuck saying "Al, tonight's your night" and then ramble about himself for a minute and a half, saying nothing about Al McCoy.

Drummond/Chandler/Williams
Chriss/Bender
Warren/Dudley/Jones
Booker/Pope/Barbosa
Ball or Fultz/Ulis
Our 2 2nd rounders could be good enough to make the team looking at the Mocks.
Is this realistic? What's are payroll? If that Detroit trade goes down Booker better be ready to be the man and I don't see room for Tucker

yeah that was pretty much classic Chuck. "Al, this is your night, here's 10 minutes about me, thanks Al"

still loved seeing him and Jerry there though

Pope is a RFA this summer and will probably get a big offer from someone.

Kinda crazy we won both those games with bledsoe and booker playing terrible.This bench unit is really clicking. Very hopeful bender comes back and joins in on this fun

Why the hell did we win these two games, makes no sense at all. Also, it's so funny and sad at the same time that our 5th pick gets so badly outplayed every **** game by an undersized, undrafted guy. Lol at Alex and his future millions, go Sauce. I'm a fan

Not a big deal, the Magic and the Sixers won too.

I have enjoyed a lot these wins, I love our new ball movement.

Excited to watch our next game. Three in a row here we go!

I'm in agreement. The only way he can really succeed in this league is if he becomes the shooter that IT is. Otherwise he's Ish Smith with only a slightly better jumper, which would still be a serviceable player.

The 2017 draft? I like Ulis a lot but that's insanity. You shouldn't be more excited for him than Fultz, Ball, Smith.

We are solid when we pick at 5 though, remember Alex Len?

Isaacs/Tatum is No 5 in DX's mock draft so I'd be okay taking one of them there anyway.

Drummond and one of Kcp/Ish/Bullock

Bledsoe and Len

I'm not sure we say no. Thoughts everyone?

If we get Fultz then I would lean towards doing this deal, but then again how reliable is Drummond in the playoffs? Imagine going against the Spurs, Popavich would love him. He just shot 1-10 from FT and then 1-11 two games later. He'd be a complete non-factor in the 4th quarter.
Then again, if we were in the playoffs at that point, I would hope Bender is at least a rotation player and can play the 5 in a pinch.

If we are sure that a PG in the draft is the real deal, yeah.

1. If we are sure that a PG in the draft is the real deal, yeah.
2. Nope. After much deliberation, I officially declared Len a bust on Feb 2, 2017.

I don't get posts like this at all. We've been wanting our rotation to shift towards the kids, and now that it has it turns out they can win some games from time to time. That's something to be celebrated!

Spot on, I was complaining when we on earlier on in the season when we were winning thanks to tucker and chandler, but when you are playing DJJ, Ulis, and Williams who got no burn in the first half of the season you can't complain about that. We will still get a top 5 pick and I am bummed out that we will miss out on Fultz and Ball but the development of the entire youth on the team will be better for the future than just one player who might be a superstar. And we can still get a star in the top 5.
