1.) Lillard: pysched to see his potential take off. 2.) Meyers Leonard & Joel Freeman: would love to see these two guys battle for playing time...
The Blazers didn't really need to be on any list of Batum's because it was pretty clear they were always a last resort, if nothing more. Batum...
If the Blazers (Terry Stotts and staff) are serious about being a good three-point shooting team, it can't hurt to have a three-point specialist...
Having Andrew Bogut and David Lee in the frontcourt is solid. Richard Jefferson is a proven veteran small forward, Steph Curry can score, and Carl...
Beyond the top two teams - Oklahoma City and the Lakers, seems to me there's a significant drop off. l see four teams likely to make the playoffs,...
I know that Olshey's preferred cliche is "moving the needle" but I think there are a few other ones that apply. Either "step in the right...
Kerry's usually quite good, but I think he got emotionally invested in this one, because Jaynes is a friend of his and he and Dwight seem to really...
Thanks - and to blazedanugz!
Great stuff, everyone. Especially Brian From WA for the great salary cap analysis. Tell me if I have this right: in order to make room for Batum,...
More than anything, I think Larry did the job he was hired to do. He got the team on a much more level financial footing. But when it came to...

I'd say the trade would make the Lakers the second-best team in the West, ahead of the Spurs, but still behind OKC. Nash is not as good as Westbrook...
I think the one other route the author mentioned, but I think undervalued, is trading for expiring contracts as a fallback position, if it's looking...
Or... what about trading up? I believe this has been discussed before, but Chad Ford was on ESPN radio this morning saying that Charlotte...
I wouldn't believe anyone that said Drummond was the same player Oden was at the end of their respective freshman years in college. Oden was...
I thought Green was pretty impressive in what little I saw of him at Michigan State. I'm surprised he's projected to slip into the 2nd round. If he...
I wouldn't have a problem with a player on the level of about 1/3 to 1/2 of the #6 picks. Shane Battier, Antoine Walker, Ron Mercer, Tom Gugliotta,...
I don't have a problem with trading up to the #2, mainly to take Kidd-Gilchrist. There might be a few other players worth taking that could fall to...
Hard to rank anyone above DeMarcus Cousins in terms of talent, but could you get him, and is the talent worth the potential headache? He's under...
