Weird thing from Atlanta is that I think young would've had a good shot at success playing for Bud

Not much action so far. Schroeder has to be on the move eventually.

He has a good chance of success playing for anybody.

Remember how excited we were whenever we got Kanter the day of the trade. This is like the opposite of that. Now I'm sitting here thinking like why the hell don't we have a pick, oh yeah freaking Enes Kanter.

I don't think so, he's going to need to play without the ball a lot to maximize his impact. If a team gives him the green light and let's him dominate the ball it's going to be a failure.

The player comps have been very underwhelming. Guys like boozer and Harris for top 10 guys...

This whole “not tipping picks” but profiling the pick right before it happens is irritating. Takes the fun out of it.

Also, Woj just seems so awkward on TV. I half expect him to yell "I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MY HANDS."

The good news is if Lebron and George go to Philly, my sign and trade fantasy for Mikal is still in play.

Charlotte needs star power so they move A guy who has a chance (admitted he'll probably bust) for a maybe solid role player. So Charlotte.

If you're Charlotte and you're smart why not save yourself a couple hundred thousand by having the clips select the thirteenth for you instead of twelve?

We don’t have the dice to roll.

Mpj and Denver is an excellent fit.

I couldn't disagree more. This guy is Steve Nash-like. He's a phenomenal set up guy. He'd be almost useless off the ball.
