    Nik thought it was our best hope at adding talent. Tunchi looks at it as an asset that can be traded.

    JBC has some great stats that should translate well to the nba, and that isn't even counting his apocryphal stats. I hear each apocrypha assist is like two nba assists.

    We picked RHJ in the 20s and turned him into Plums. Darn right picks have trade value.

    Our first round pick this year is Montero, we just got a head start on his development. He'll fight for rotation minutes next year. I have him ahead of Connaughton.

    Alexander is another guy that can be a bench piece but with a more specific role. We need another big man that can defend and he's probably already NBA ready as a help defender. Remember, he's still only 20.

    Those two guys are pretty much just as good as anyone we'd draft if we had our pick. Yeah, we lose an asset but Olshey made up for it by getting Cleveland's first.

    Some real A+ commentary in this thread. A real showcase of what this community has to offer.

    Pour some out....

    It's alright, I'd rather give up a pick this year than next.

    He became a great referee after his playing days though. The best rules interpreter ever.

    I'll be honest though, sometimes I think he just made up rules that sounded reasonable at the time. His "burner phone call" to the commissioner story is suspicious to me.

    Two games in the next 10 days. No need to rest anyone. You don't want anyone rusty.

    I still would not take the chance with that much rest in the next 10 days. If the games are meaningless than you can cut Dame and CJ's minutes, but I don't think at their age they need the night off.
