    I can see the Lakers maxing out Barnes and DeRozan After dealing the top 3ish pick for another teams lottery pick AND two other future first round picks (Think PHX).

    They can draft Poeltl.

    Russell / Clarkson
    DeRozan / Lou
    Barnes / Young
    Randle / Nance
    Poeltl / Sacre

    Not awful, borderline playoff team next season... Definite playoff team in the future.

    I'll buy them all shots to help ease the pain of getting swept.

    Although I do think it could be a gentlemen's sweep.

    They aren't going to make them play all four games are they?

    I want Kevin Durant and Lebron James crushed...going into free agency pissed off. I want Curry pissed off and out of the finals. Underdogs rock! Go Toronto! I'm rooting for our free agency pool to want to come to Portland after losing

    Not a bad outcome really, considering Phillys stable of bigs.

    This means a guy like Okafor may be easier for Olshey to pry away.

    Suh is not fat. He is a beast. Dude is in impeccable shape most of the year. He just adds weight to play dt during the season.

    Pretty sure that's his head on someone else's body in the pic. I'll also give Kenny Smith the benefit of the doubt and assume the same in his case.

    Why is Drexler in our picture? He barely acknowledges anything outside of the Houston Metro area.

    Maybe I spoke too soon about that gentlemen's sweep. The Raptors are hardly dominant at home, Cleveland in 4.

    So boring that not even the fans stay to see their team win.

    If OKC can get past GSW, do they win a ring?

    I think so. I think they match up better against Cleveland than they do GSW.
