    Probably his agent, but still.

    He would probably be playing being Derrick Favours and Paul Milsap in Utah, not that great being third string. I heard he wants to go to washington, which isn't too shabby considering he'd get to play next to John Wall and off the top of my head I can't think of any PFs they have there that would be ahead of him on the depth chart.

    I'd still start Blatche and Mcgee over Kanter anyday of the week, so I don't understand the logic there either.

    So Kanter's agent is claiming it was a mix-up and the only team he doesn't want Kanter to go to is Milwaukee. Toronto will visit with Kanter when he is in Chicago for workouts.

    oh that makes it better, it's only Milwaukee, why wouldn't he want to go to Milwaukee to play with Brandon Jennings and Andrew Bogut.

    Has something to do with the way Milwaukee dealt with Ersan Ilyasova.

    Milwaukee has like 10th pick or something. They wouldn't be able to draft him anyways.

    Its the day before the draft and I think the person I would be most happy to see the Raps drafting would be Jonas Valanciunas. I know they need a PG but unless they're able to draft Knight or Irving I don't know if there is a PG worth drafting in the fifth spot.

    One website is reporting Biyombo has a back issue that may scare off some lottery teams.

    ^ Nobody is going to take on 20m this summer. Next summer, when he is a 10m expiring, is our best bet.

    I would be ok with that Parker deal if Knight and Kanter are gone but otherwise doesn't really with with the rebuild. And Calderon would definitely have to be going to SA otherwise we would have too many point guards.

    Question is, who do the Spurs want to move up for? They are historically fantastic drafters, so whoever they want may be worth a look. I hear its Jonas, who i would be happy to get (after Knight). I know he likely won't come over right away but we are rebuilding anyways so we can suck another year and get a great pick in next year's draft.

    If you had to pick one player that you absolutely DON'T want, who would it be (saw this on the Blazer's board)?

    I would say Jan Vesely. Can't shoot, no real position, fairly skinny, not even that athletic (his biggest strength).
