    A 7'3" PF

    The tallest PF in NBA history.

    Here's a guy I really wish hadn't got injured: Briante Weber. I wonder if it's possible for him to recover. Sounds like the injury was pretty gruesome and a lot of his game was predicated on (a) athleticism and (b) going 100% all-out. But imagine bringing him off the bench if even for short bursts. Like young Rajon Rondo.

    They always said that about Rik Smits and he couldn't handle the weight on his knees. The kid is what he is: a stick. With the shoulders of a teenage girl.

    Ralph Sampson played a lot of PF and was 7-4

    Do we have enough *realistic* assets to trade into the 3-5 range for a shot at KP?

    4 is our ceiling. Philly wants none of our players I bet.

    The only assets I'd trade to move up that high would be Batum, Kaman, Crabbe, 23 and 2018 first. Any 3 of the 5.

    What about the Nuggets pick at 7 if Winslow is around? Sounds like they are shopping it pretty hard.

    Our assets and their wants don't match. 8 is a better spot to move to.

    I think Batum+23 for Meeks, Tolliver and 8 would be the deal.

    What about the magic? Skiles is a defensive coach and at some point that team needs to start winning. Harris is a FA and us more of a 4 anyway. Batum plus our pick plus cash for #5? Their gm said they've been talking to half a dozen teams about moving back. I could totally see them being interested in Batum.

    Here's a great read - it's the annual SI piece where an anonymous scout gives his honest opinion.
    Here's Christian Wood and Delon Wright:

    nbadraft has Oubre dropping all the way down to 23. Thought this guy was late lottery-- what's going on?

    I think Anderson is a safer pick than RHJ because I think Anderson will be able to contribute immediately, where RHJ might take some seasoning.

    Supposedly has tons of potential, but no actual production to back it up. Rumors that his college coach didn't like his attitude/work ethic.
