    Re: Fucking Seriously

    Come on, the original poster has a good point. 2nd round picks?? Those are basically throw away garbage....and we have to have future 2nd rounders in SOME year.

    I would have given up Mo Williams for Hawes.

    Currently we do not have a second round draft pick until 2019.

    Re: Fucking Seriously

    Who exactly are we going to sign in 2015? LA and then who? Resign Lopez and Matthews? Who do we get? Basically it is resign Aldridge, Matthews and Lopez and hope McCollum, Lillard, Robinson, Crabbe etc develop or lose LA and start rebuilding around Lillard. It seems to me that right now without major changes this team will be a middling playoff team for the next 5 years?

    Re: Fucking Seriously

    I'd really love to know what Olshey's plans are going forward

    If it's keeping the same starting 5 next year..... we're fucked.

    Great, now convince Philly, who only wanted expiring deals back to take Williams. It takes two to tango

    Re: Fucking Seriously

    How could trading 2 scrubs be a disaster? TRob hustles, but brings nothing else to the table. Leonard doesn't even have that going for him.

    Re: Fucking Seriously

    I missed where we were needing a starting C. If he is as much of scrub as people here think then his trade value is null ... it couldn't be lower. It takes a couple years for most centers to learn before you can expect anything from them. I honestly doubt he becomes a starter but I think he has enough physical tools that he is worth hanging onto through the summer, then if he still I lost next year dump him fir a 2nd rounder.

    I don't care if Robinson lives up to being a #5 pick... it wasn't our pick we traded 2nd round picks for him. He is fine as a reserve.

    Re: Fucking Seriously

    8 months ago at the draft, Olshey spent 2 #2s to get Crabbe. So Hawes' price is someone named Crabbe and someone named Earl.

    Many new GMs/coaches start by spending assets saved by their predecessors (Lenny Wilkins at about 5 teams, every single time). So I complained about losing a decade's worth of 2s and everyone said, they're worthless, who cares.

    Crabbe was a mistake. Lopez was worth it, though.

    Really? Both guys rebound at better than 10 per 36. To have young bigs that come in and grab boards then they are doing something productive.

    Re: Fucking Seriously

    hindsight being 20/20, maybe we should have saved some #2s or something, but whatever, im not about to FREAK THE FUCK OUT ABOUT IT

    The team should've traded the RLEC and bolted to the second round.
