    Lebron, Kobe, Howard, Durnat and overseas players. What more do you need?

    They won't fall into the bottom 12, and I'd just as soon give up the pic now, rather than wait till it's unprotected. We have so many players with expiring contracts coming up, and if they decide to rebuild, they don't want to owe an unprotected pick.

    I agree. If we don't get out of the first round, the first place I look is to trade Wes and/or Nic.

    You talked about making teams better... you loved melo, I showed you. I didn't think I needed to spell it out word for word. Those others are unattainable.

    It's really simple logic. :)

    DeMar DeRozan or John Wall would be tight!

    Really? Why?

    I'll just be sad. And I'll likely come in here and commiserate, then talk about how to improve the team over the summer.

    I think that is highly impossible. They may not be worth a damn once they get there. But I think they have another 6 to 7 wins in them which IMO is all they need.

    But if they miss out on the playoffs. They prob miss out on the pick, because they are on the fringe either way. And you can't be on the fringe and keep your pick.

    Be honest. Were you even alive when that draft took place?
