    Then what do we do? Who do we draft? Or what could the #1 pick get us in a trade?

    Go after Greg Monroe or DMC with this pick.

    I'd trade it. The #1 pick should be Noels and I don't want to make another Oden like mistake and take the injured guy. Now if we get 2 or 3 i'd keep them and take Porter or McLemore.

    In this draft, yes.

    This isn't a draft with a Durant or an Oden in it.

    Why is Noel considered the number one pick if he has a torn ACL?

    Monroe is horrible value for the #1 pick even in this weak draft when we can sign a better version of Monroe in FA with Jefferson. I would trade it for DMC though.

    I don't like Porter at all. (From the few times I saw him) but McLemore is interesting. Lot of POtential. I would be leery about Noels.

    I want the 3rd pick!

    Why not pick McLemore at #1?

    I think I would, but somehow we do not do well with the #1 pick.

    Outside of Oden, when did we do badly with the #1 pick? Educate me.

    After we win the lottery, we will go back in time and draft MJ instead of Bowie, Durant instead of Oden, and Faried instead of Nolan Smith. Then we will bring all of them back to the future so we can have a super team of Lillard, Jordan, Durant, Randolph, and Aldridge.

    If we fix all our draft mistakes, we don't trade Randolph; I totally get that... but who do we take instead of Roy?

    Winning the Lotto earns us even more flexibility to improve. There may be a team willing to rebuild around Noels or McLemore and who would be willing to give up their veteran for it (ATL, DAL come to mind).
    I'd think we'd have to look really hard at either drafting at the spot and trading LMA for more future assets or other positions.

    Rondo. Then we take Drummond instead of Lillard.

    If we win the lotto, it greatly improves the quality of player we can realistically get or target with a trade.
