    My dream scenario: We end up with Isaac and Giles somehow. Damn

    Honestly, I saw him play in only one game. I wasn't impressed.

    Butters would have kicked his ass....

    Bad sample size, but as much as I would like to, I just didn't see anything that made me attracted to what he was bringing....

    Everything would be forgiven from my side toward NO if we ended up with Isaac (without giving up the 'Big3'). He's a while away but he's exactly what we need. Get it done Neil.

    I think teams will be more conservative about the cap, because 'what's the point?'

    I admit I said the same thing about him in January. I never noticed him on the court. However I do think he got better, as many freshmen do. He had some games where I thought...... Ok I can see what they are talking about. In 2-3 years he could be pretty damn good. But we won't have to worry about it because he will be gone before we pick.

    Hopefully Kennard will be gone by 15 as well. Plus 1-0r 2 other players not expected to be in the lottery. We need someone to slip. Interesting that OG Anunoby has slipped to 22 on draftexpress. His outside shot must not be impressive in the work outs.

    As long as we aren't trading CJ, Lillard or Nurkic, then I don't see any move we make as a desperation move or one that could hurt us in the future.

    Jerry West going to LA means that probably takes the Clips out of running for Melo.

    Sidebar, what exactly is a consultant in this NBA context? I really don't get what his role was in GS and what it will be in LA. Is he supposed to be the free agent whisperer or something?

    When Joe Dumars stepped down from GM duties in Detroit they kept him on as a consultant...now that Bird has stepped down in Indiana they are keeping his status as a consultant....I think it's sort of a gold watch with benefits....

    Lauri is closer to Brook Lopez than Dirk.

    Not sure. I think the guy I'm thinking of may have had one of those Jewish beanie caps on. No propeller.

    I hope Phoenix takes him and Portland can swoop in and get Tatum.
