    That's a good move for a team draft 8 and below. Maybe even 7

    Agree, although I dont think Thompson will ever amount to anything more than a solid role player off the bench.

    Does LA do that deal? I don't know.

    Sac REALLY doesn't need that deal. The last thing they need is another power forward and selfish shooting guard.

    Philly? That would give them a draft of

    Potentially Exum, Juggler and Thompson Solid start to a rebuild in some peoples eye. Not mine. Far too many Cuse players on one roster

    I think I would rather have someone like Aaron Gordon. So IMO I would say maybe for a team 10 or below. Although I did think that Waiters looked pretty good against us. But in the end both Waiters and Thompson are bench players and someone like Gordon will be a starter.

    I HATE Soup Juggler, so I agree with you. Just saying that would probably start to make sense for some teams

    Those two are not worth a lottery pick. Silly Cleveland.
