Considering none of the offered picks were the Nets, Lakers or Kings pick the deal wasn't actually that great. I know the rumors had one of those picks involved but if they were never on the table, I can see why Indy wouldn't do it.

One would've been the clippers pick and the other would be memphis..its better than taking on Oladipo at 20,000,000 a yr

That could happen. Ball can play off ball.
not sure if they can keep lopez, randle, & clarkson but if so, thats a complete team.

For me is not going to be a suprise if Ibaka and Hayward show up in a Miami Heat uniform nest season.

Pat Riley is that good.

I don't know whether I should root for Hayward to leave Utah or not. Obviously I would prefer the West to be weaker, but I don't want Ricky to be stuck on another lottery team.

Milsap going to Denver. My God. This will be a brutal battle for the playoffs. Our lack of shooting might really bight us in the ass. Def not seeing a top 4 seed right now. Might need 46 wins just to get the 8th spot

yep. after GS...

I think Houston lost some outside shooting threats with Bev and Lou leaving, not sure how cp3 and Harden will co exist but they will.

SA is another year older but should be a safe pick for #2 but yea, theyre no spring chickens

I like Minnesotas starters the best after GS but our bench will be potentially our demise, hopefully we adopt a GS rotation where Butler/Wiggins & KAT/teague will always be on the court.

okc has 2 superstars and 2 solid bigs...but yea, still have andre roberson but move up because clippers and jazz might fall

denver- nice little nucleus

7-8 will be Utah if they keep Hayward, Portland

Unlike other teams though, we got two superstar talents that have many years of improvement left. I love our odds against anybody with one more year of experience and training for Wiggy and KAT. KAT in particular should have a chance to become the best player in the NBA 2-3 years down the road, just gotta keep working.

Yup, I feel like the people who are questioning this team's potential aren't factoring in that Towns and Wiggins will get better and they should be placed in more beneficial situations now that they have some help.

Normally I would never bet on a team as young as the Sixers making the playoffs but with the majority of the eastern conference looking like this

Those kids actually got a shot. I don't know why Hayward wouldn't bail. You can run the east, hell Shabazz might be an all star there next season :lol:

Orlando summer league is such a snoozefest. I don;t know how every year it manages to have every damn team with the most irrelvent or injured rookies. Like every years, maybe 2 lottery players worth a damn seem available to watch in Orlando Summer league.
