    Too bad Len/Oladipo/McLemore will all probably be gone at that point.

    One of them would most likely be there. If Noel doesn't go #1 reports are magic will jump all over him at 2.

    I think Noel will be a bust. Just a gut feeling. I would like either Oladipo or McLemore.

    I can get behind this. That's a 45 win team easily if healthy and with much room for improvement given the youth at PG/SG/C.

    I don't think ORL will deal away the pick and Vucevic (AND HARRIS!) for LA even if we take back salary in return. They would be starting off with just LA. Maybe we throw in 10 and Leonard and they might bite, but still unlikely.

    Anthony Bennett will be the best player from this draft. his height means nothing because he has great standing reach and wingspan. Will be a double double machine. Grandmama reincarnated

    I am as sure of it as I am that all players from Syracuse and North American born white players are overrated

    Syracuse players are always drafted too high.

    I'm not doubting too hard, and I didn't see him play this year--what's the difference between him and 2009 Beasley, other than Beasley did better in college?

    I noticed the Syracuse pattern 20 years ago. But because of my silence, I lost my crown.

    Also keep in mind that Beasley is lazy and still has averaged 19/7 per 36 minutes

    His PER has gone down each year, because of his work ethic, but started his rookie year at 17.2

    Would you take a rookie forward with a great work ethic who gave us a 17.2 PER and 19/7?

    I have actually eliminated that word from my vocabulary, along with punishing my children every time I see them standing perplexed with their arms crossed.

    If the LA to Cleveland scenario occurs, is it not funny how both teams will be just playing "the grass is greener on the other side"?

    Both teams have about the same talent if you subtract LMA from our team and the #1 from theirs.

    Honestly, it's more of a timing thing.

    How do you figure?

    Adding LA puts Cleveland at about the same salary situation as we are in currently. The big pay day for Irving will not count for another couple of years.
