    Len already suffered a stress fracture in his foot. Him getting bigger is just a scary thought.

    And that is one sorry ass looking group of lottery picks.

    As of last night, it was believed OKC offering Kendrick Perkins and two first-rounders (Nos. 12 & 29) and possibly second (32) to get 5.

    Perk?

    That's supposed to be appealing?

    That's more like a fucking insult.

    Ford thinks Burke will slip to the late lotto.

    So, do you take him at #10 -- BPA?

    He's a spark plug for sure. He could be a Nate Robinson off the bench. I'd do it if McC and Pope were gone.

    Utah wants a PG badly, is Burke on top of their board? probably, so swap #10 for 14 and 21 and send them Freeland!

    Brian Scalabrine, who has worked out with Steven Adams, says he's "unbelievably strong", compares him with... Omer Asik! I'll take that!

    I like that move to unload Freeland. I think there are going to be some good deals in free agency this summer and the more $$$ the better.

    Just read somebody who's convinced that the Blazers will take Sergey Karasev. Hmm. I'd be okay with that, but that would mean we have to trade for Gallinari for the complete set of Eurobasket SFs.

    He sounds a lot like Kostas.

    Except Robinson is an all-world athlete, but the worry with Burke is that he's a below-average athlete. I'd only take him to trade him. I'd take Schroeder over him if we're keeping the player.

    Both are tough, both are sort of tweeners, but Karasev is SG/SF, while KP is SF/PF.

    If 14 and 21 become Schroeder and Dieng, then YES PLEASE.

    FYI Dieng's knees have been red flagged by several general managers, per twitter.

    Let's red flag his shoulder, then buy a first round pick and draft him ahead of the Spurs.

    Getting flagged isn't the end of the world.

    Kahwi Leonard was red flagged and he turned out a lot better than his draft position.

    Talked to execs from 3 teams today. General consensus is there's only between 12-15 impactful players worth drafting. Lowest # in many years
