    MM wins for draft picks. But then you wait a year to sign Love when he doesnt re-up with a wink wink nudge nudge say no more say no more deal.

    You could add Monroe. 23 year old 15/9 guy 17/10 per 36 minutes 18.1 PER

    That was in my proposal. Trade LA straight up for the #1 and then use the cap space to sign Monroe. Keep Batum and play him as the point forward with Dame and Wiggins.

    You also need to add in Portland's lottery pick in 2015 after the team wins 32 games with rookies and role players.

    Good also. I'm not as high on Batum as most of the rest of you

    All kinds of skill and potential. Back injury though.

    You don't think a team with Dame/Wiggins/Nic/Monroe/Rolo could make the playoffs? I don't know if I agree. I think there would definitely be a step back, but I don't think it would be that bad.

    I saw some things from Nic during the playoffs that I was really pleased with. I actually think his ability to play point and defend point guards makes him a great backcourt mate for Dame. Let Dame play the scoring guard role and use Nic as the point forward. It's very Bulls circa 1990's.

    Wiggins wll be a superstar sooner rather than later. He and Lillard would dominate. It's a wing league

    this is such fantasy basketball talk but while we are talking about it lets get two things straight.

    1. wiggins is NOT a sg, hes a bonafide SF
    2. jabari parker is NOT a pf. he is an even more bonafide SF

    did anyone watch these guys play this year? wiggins has a ton of upside but he is a couple years away.
    jabari is going to be able to score right away but will he be able to do as much as batum does all around? the answer is a definite no....

    Labels don't matter. All that matters is that I think Dame/Nic can play with either of them.

    Questioning if we watched just causes friction, so let's stay away from that shit.

    Wiggins is projected by most scouts to play SG

    And it really doesn't matter because Dame and Nic can play pretty much either guard position.

    Jabari Parker, the last thing we need is another guard. We would be going after a cheap replacement for Lamarcus. Am I wrong?
