    Can anybody else live with us being shitty next year after looking at how good the top of the 13' draft already is.

    I'm salivating over McAdoo. Guy is a hybrid 4 that can play with the rock in his hands.

    Cody Zeller has McHale like footwork.

    Noel is supposed to be every bit the defender Anthony Davis' is.

    Shabazz Muhammed has superstar potential.

    I have been on record a 1000 times at least hoping we are shitty enough to land a big prize next year

    Sign me up. I can live with one season of developing young talent and taking some losses.

    I agree and we will need one of those guys from next years draft. I don't think we can turn it around that fast unless we get very lucky with this draft and FA's. I just want to get a player that is going to be able to create his own shot and setup other players.

    Why couldn't this Zeller be in the draft?

    Watch him take it to Anthony Davis a couple times in that video :)

    Yeah, I really like this Zeller. He is twice the player his brother is and I would love to get him.

    Cody Zeller looks like a ballerina playing among sumo wrestlers. You can't teach soft hands and post moves like that. To have them better than 99% of the NBA at age 19.....GTFO!

    Easily take Nerlens over Zeller.

    I watched the regular season game when Indiana came back and upset Kentucky. Zeller was a one-man wrecking crew. They just fed him all 2nd half. Anthony Davis was guarding him.

    Oh, I'm totally fine with sucking balls next year enough to get a great player. This team's problems go deeper than what can get fixed with a single draft with all of the options outside of the top 2 tiers of players and an anemic free agent class.

    Zeller FTW

    Scouts say this draft, and possibly the 2014 draft, are going to be very weak but top-heavy.

    If we're wanting to tank for next year and beyond, the move is to trade Aldridge.

    I'm also fine with that and have said as much in the last couple of months. I guess it all depends on what kind of trades Olshey is able to engineer.

    Hopefully a better trade than ZBO for Channing Frye.
