    Seems like a lot to me, is it really all that unusual? We have:
    • #6 - Kaman
    • #6 - Lillard
    • #8 - Aminu
    • #9 - Vonleh
    • #10 - McCollum
    • #11 - Leonar_
    • #12 - Henderson
    • #13 - Davis
    Plus two more first rounders
    • #15 - Harkness
    • #22 - Plumlee
    Then, in the second round
    • #31 - Crabbe
    • #41 - Connaughton
    • #54 - Diaz (is he even on the roster?)
    and Frazier was undrafted.

    Diaz is not on the roster, and you forgot Montero, who was undrafted.

    The last time I can recall having so many lotto picks on the roster were back in the Jail Blazers days.....

    I was thinking the same thing. If we perform as well as those teams this year I'll eat all my hats.

    In my mind only, Plumlee is a lottery pick. Why? He made the all-rookie team.

    We already tried to get one (Greg Monroe, #7 pick 2010), but he turned us down.

    Think Sacramento is ready to give up on Ben McLemore (#7 pick 2013) yet?

    Plumlee is also the only one of the new guys whose former team will regret losing him.

    I think the Lakers might miss Ed Davis, even with Julius.

    I dunno. I like what I saw from Vonleh. He has some potential. It might take a year or two, but I like him.

    As far as Plumlee, he's the new acquisition that I could see taking the biggest step forward this year.

    I think he can really be had. In fact, I'm almost sure of it

    He makes 3.3 mil next season. We have cap scape so we could trade just about any contract... Montero?

    I doubt they're looking to just give him away. I imagine they'd require some sort of decent return. Kaman likely doesn't cut it.


    Edit: here's a three way deal with Milwaukee and Sacramento that would return McLemore (a #7) and Henson (a #14) and somehow makes all three teams worse. That's an accomplishment! :)

    Id trade Hendo for him. They'll probably want shooters around Rondo though.

    EDIT: Just remembered they got Caron Butler and Belinelli. Plus they still have Caspi and wI'll likely play some 2PG lineups with Collison and Rondo. They could use another vet like Henderson.. Hell I'd throw in Crabbe and a future pick and I think that deal gets done.

    Kaman won't get it done when they have Cauley-Stein, Kofous, and Cousins that can play center.

    I actually think only Von or Hedo by the self would work.

    I think they want Von because they already got enough wings

    That's why I brought Milwaukee in, sending Mayo over to Sactown. Supposedly the Bucks want to get rid of him, but maybe the Kings would think they could succeed surrounding Rondo with a big-3 of Mayo, Rudy, and Boogie. That's basically the same as Ray-Ray, Pierce and KG, right? :)

    With his defenze, can Davis move over to center sometimes to spell Mason? Was watching video and he's a pretty thick dude!
