    Valanciunas and Knight both available for TOR? WOW. Lucky.

    Really though, I can't believe they took Thompson. He's just so raw, can't hit FTs, and has a very limited offensive game.

    I bet they go with Knight. A young backcourt rotation of Knight, Bayless, and DeRozan is a good building block.

    So, you think they take Knight and beg someone to take Calderon off their hands?

    I guess Cleveland has time to develop prospects.

    Calderon blows, I don't think they mind benching him.

    Of course they went with the foreigner--what was I thinking. This is a Colangelo team.

    Looks like they're happy with their backcourt of Calderon/DeRozan/Bayless.

    I hope we try something to move up and draft Knight. Can't believe he's still on the board.

    Not really. DX has him at 7. I think he's top 10, not surprising he's not picked yet.

    Coupled with the recent statements about Bayless by Colangelo (their GM)... they must be pretty pleased with Bayless.

    Just to remind people: Nedzad kicked Valanciunas's ASS in that one game...

    (I notice the highlights they're showing have him dunking on Freeland, but Freeland outscored him handily over two games.)
