    Pek still makes 10 mil a season... And hasnt played more than 65 games in a season, and that was his rookie year.

    Felder's stock is on the rise.

    Oakland: Scoring: #1 -- 86.4
    Felder: Assists: #1 -- 9.3

    He also posted a 29 PER.

    I don't think he'll fall to the late second round. If you want a spark off the bench Felder is your guy.

    Actually $12M, but it wouldn't matter. If we could get #5 for Plums and capspace, we'd be trading for Pek the same way we traded for Varejao.

    Exactly. Only there would be no reason to waive Pek (I don't think?). The first thing I thought when I read that list was, like B.C. posted, I'd like to trade for that #5 pick. This trade works fine for me.

    I have no irrational attachment to Plumlee, particularly after witnessing his obvious weaknesses during the playoffs. Plums is a nice player. He can do some nice things; make some nice plays. I like him. I like winning more. I'd keep Davis and Nards over Plumlee, and I'd rather have the No. 5 pick plus Pek, too.

    There's no way Minny would do that. Pekovic at 12 mil next season is equivalent to a ~8 mil player in the 2015 cap. That's nothing

    Those are the worst jersey colors I have ever seen. He's probably hoping he gets drafted just so he can wear something else.

    I think Kool Keith owns them and they're actually the Baldwin Hills Spacemen. Although Mega Leks is a very Kool Keith sounding name.

    He's on the same prospect tier as Zipser but Rade has the edge in upside - he's a full two years younger and just as productive. IMO both are a tier below Juancho Hernangomez.

    He can't shoot though. Right now he's primarily a slasher/iso wing.

    Rubio was brought up specifically in reference to assists as a stat translating over from Europe. Not at all as a comparison.

    I'll say it again; I don't think Olshey is trying to trade into the lottery. I think he thinks if he is lucky and smart he can get just as good a player late first round, early second.

    Stock watch:


    Juan Hernangomez (95’, 6-9, SF/PF, Spain, Estudiantes)

    After a long period of inconsistency and bad performances "Juancho" finally looks like he found his mojo. The Spaniard forward was terrific in May, averaging 12 points and 6 rebounds, connecting on 40.9% from beyond the three point line in 25 minutes of playing time. Hernangomez has a lot of fans among scouts, mainly because of his ability to score from the 3 point line and his versatility, since he can play both forward positions with ease and his recent performances surely helped his stock, with some suggesting that he might even be a first round pick in this year’s draft

    The Knicks have been trying to buy a late first -- Juan Hernangomez is their guy.

    Second round/undrafted prospects...

    Yogi Ferrell has been killing his workouts.

    17 ppg last year while shooting 42% from three:



    Patty Mills-esque. He'd get playing time under Stotts right away with his shot. Stotts wants his backup pg to be able to shoot. It's the reason why Frazier was waived.

    DX update:

    Hernangomez rises to #25
    Prince is the biggest riser - #17
    Qi goes from mid-second all the way up to #29

    This Greek giant has been a steady riser on most mocks.

    A mobile and legitimate 7'3" -- only 18 years old:

    Looks good, but I don't see him being a star with a name like George.

    Thon maker moved up at least a couple spots (I think 7) and Petr Corniele leapfrogged Brice Johnson, moved up 2 spots I think,
