    So after tonight I think we are in the #4 and #11 spots still. ESPN still has us taking Zeller no matter what with our second pick..... No thanks

    If we're there at 11 we better take a guy like Terrence Jones. Fuck drafting for "need"

    Yes. Let's draft a tweener that can't shoot and has (according to nbadraft.net): "Mental lapses, bad body language, dips in concentration and loss of confidence."

    We don't have enough of those guys already on our team, huh?

    Best player available..... just not a big white guy. the success rate on a quality white player is 95 to 1!

    I agree with this. Do not draft a white center, or PG in the lottery. At least no PG this year in the lottery

    NJ winning 2 in a row is good

    I'm all about the upside on Jones. Tyler Zeller? Ugh.

    Do it again, NJ!

    About to climb to the 6th worst record ahead of CLE.

    odd that 6th only gets 1 less PP ball than 5th. kind of a wasted spot for us if they finish there, since it essentially doesn't reduce their odds of their winning the lottery (there's a big dropoff in the odds of winning for 7th).

    unfortunately because of the Deron situation they're the one bottom 10 team that could benefit from NOT tanking, so expect them to at least keep trying to win.

    if they catch GS we could easily be picking 9/11 : )

    i'd rather had 9 and 11 in this draft then having their pick around (hypothetically) 4 or 5 next season.

    hypothetically if they win the lottery this year deron might re-sign and play up to his potential the whole season, and in the east they'd likely make the playoffs next year. so yeah even if they finish 9th worst this year no reason to feel bad about it. take the pick and run.

    If we do get Williams, and are able to re-sign Batum, I wonder if the Blazers would package their picks to try and move up in the draft, or if they'll go for quantity.

    We won't know if we can get Williams until after July 1st.... whereas the draft is in late June.

    With portland's bad luck, I feel more comfortable if NJ ends up 7 or 8, so they don't have much chance for the top three.
