By knux-future Go To PostLet Gondo have this guys. Geez yall shit over every move they make…let him have this oneEither way, you can't reason with relio.

I think Donovan would be a good fit for a young team like Orlando or Sacramento. But throwing him into the pressure cooker in OKC is just asking for trouble.
To be honest, I think Gentry and Lue are your best bets.
EDIT: Actually, the best option would be to offer Jeff Van Gundy a godfather offer. But we know how the Bennetts operate so...

With the roster we have it's gonna be hard not to contend if we stay healthy.
Edit: Also, keep in mind that we're still the 8th-youngest team in the NBA.

That 'youngest' or 'oldest' team shit is nonsense, I wish people stopped with that.
The only ages that matter are KD's and YN's, they're 26. They're young but they're not 6ers/Orlando young in that the people on the team who matter are actually really young.
By reilo Go To PostStevens also came in with no expectations and a super young roster in turmoil and growth.
Stevens was getting some great results out of ehhh recruiting classes
Here's my Lakers top 5 (they must send the pick to the Sixers if it falls to No. 6 which has about an 18 percent chance of happening) … 1. Towns 2. Mudiay 3. Okafor 4. Russell 5. Winslow
Lakers headed to a Mudiay future it seems?
By Moris Go To PostThat 'youngest' or 'oldest' team shit is nonsense, I wish people stopped with that.It's overblown, but a large part of the job is still going to consist of player development. Guys like Kanter, Adams, Lamb, Roberson and Singler are still extremely young. If Donovan can get the most out of them that bodes well for our future.

yea, which would work out great if KD and YN were 2-3 years years younger.
By IWMTB19 Go To PostLakers headed to a Mudiay future it seems?
LA was high on Mudiay earlier this season. They had OKafor #1 followed by Mudiay, but that was when Clarkson was a 3rd string PG. Even though I want Russell, I think they go for a big no matter where they land in the draft unless they miss out on Towns Okafor and WCS.

I actually totally agree with Hasph regardind Donovan - and I think he could absolutely adapt to the NBA at the same time (more like Synder has instead of Stevens though, because Stevens is a fucking genius).
By DY_nasty Go To PostHe had his conference on lock until Cal put him on the ropes.He did. The SEC was and is still a terrible basketball conference.

I'll be interested to see who he brings in as assistants. Guys with NBA experience are preferred.
Wonder if we could get Mike Malone or Mike Brown.
By IWMTB19 Go To PostLakers headed to a Mudiay future it seems?
If that really is the case tho and then its really Towns Mudiay or Winslow.
I don't want Mudiay, Winslow might be gud but I won't survive the 'wins low' jokes if he busts.
Do I really have to put all my faith in getting #1 overall
Rondo never really fit with the Mavs, as the concerns about the impact of his poor shooting in coach Rick Carlisle’s flow offense quickly manifested and were never solved. The hope of a “Playoff Rondo” sighting was crushed after his poor Game 1 performance and the appearance he gave up in Game 2.
The Mavs and Rondo made a mutual decision to part ways the next day, sources told ESPNDallas.com, framing the reasoning as a back injury as a favor to try to help the four-time All-Star point guard save face.
The truth was that the Mavs didn’t want Rondo, who was going to be replaced in the starting lineup regardless, pouting and rubbing off on other players, Ellis in particular. Essentially, the Mavs made a drastic move in an attempt to do damage control on a chemistry crisis.
Has Brandy finally admitted the Rondo trade was a bust? he refused to accept it months ago.

On the bright side, based on what I've read about Donovan I'm reasonably optimistic that he'll absolutely hate Waiters.
By DY_nasty Go To Postif we draft oubre or kaminsky i'm gonna throw upCan't help you with Frank but at least with Oubre you can lie to yourself with wingspans and potential and shit

By knux-future Go To PostCan't help you with Frank but at least with Oubre you can lie to yourself with wingspans and potential and shitlying to myself about MKG at least paid off. no way i can do it with a knockoff xavier henry
By DY_nasty Go To Postlying to myself about MKG at least paid off. no way i can do it with a knockoff xavier henryI was all-in on Kris Dunn but since he announced he's going back to Providence I'm trying to convince myself that Oubre would be a steal at 14.
Also, now that we have Donovan I'm trying to convince myself the Wiz might give us Bradley Beal.
Our SG situation is sad.
By DY_nasty Go To Postlying to myself about MKG at least paid off. no way i can do it with a knockoff xavier henryHenry finally was starting to get it until his knees imploded..so theres that.
I had already talked myself into Oubre on the good chance we fall to 6 because fuck Hinkie
By KingGondo Go To PostI was all-in on Kris Dunn but since he announced he's going back to Providence I'm trying to convince myself that Oubre would be a steal at 14.Beal would drink himself stupid and turn into Vin Baker's shitty little nephew if he had to share a court with YNB
Also, now that we have Donovan I'm trying to convince myself the Wiz might give us Bradley Beal.

Gondo Lamb a lost cause yo. Dude not going no where.
Knux / DY why do feel the need to play sad music when you guys talk about your team.
Mudiay looking real legit yo. I think he worth the risk.

If he can ever get and stay healthy Chase is a good player. Those things havne't happened his whole time at minny though.
Also, the Noah hate by some Bulls fans is just flat out idiocy. And I mean that in the sense that you're an absolute fucking idiot.

By Moris Go To PostBudinger picked up his player option….so that happenedHe was legitimately pretty good for us in the last like two months of the season. 13 and 4 on 50/40 shooting, I'll take that. If we're getting that dude for $5M, that's awesome, you need a bench guy to come in and shoot.
By KingGondo Go To PostI want to believe, but I can't because the inevitable disappointment of hiring Fred Hoiberg or Billy Donovan would be too much to take.Billy Donovan seems all but done.
He's gonna use up an NBA team like OKC then run back to a better situation in college as a desperate, big name school rolls out the red carpet for him
(Hope he goes to OKC for 3 years - Roy Williams should be fired by then and Donovan can come in and save us)

Andrew Wiggins will became the first Timberwolves player to be named the league’s Rookie of the Year, according to a league source.In your face, jerks.
By rodeoclown Go To Posthttp://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/301748841.htmlThat love trade may be the closest thing ever to a dollar for dollar trade, for an all-star who basically demanded out.
In your face, jerks.
By rodeoclown Go To Posthttp://www.startribune.com/sports/wolves/301748841.htmlHey I said you won that trade from Day 1.
In your face, jerks.
By giririsss Go To PostThat love trade may be the closest thing ever to a dollar for dollar trade, for an all-star who basically demanded out.It'll depend on what Wiggins's ceiling ends up being. The team really wants him to work on his jumper this summer and if he can shoot 3s next year, man, that's a pretty awesome player.
By rodeoclown Go To PostIt'll depend on what Wiggins's ceiling ends up being. The team really wants him to work on his jumper this summer and if he can shoot 3s next year, man, that's a pretty awesome player.Now get a new coach and a PG that can shoot.
By DominicanPower Go To PostNow get a new coach and a PG that can shoot.I'm with you on the coach. He keeps talking about how he wants threes but keeps running this offense he designed for Kevin Garnett 20 years ago.
But I'm still not seeing where this point guard that's better than Rubio, for his flaws shooting, materializes, though. He's really good.
Bets on when Duncan retires? I say he retires next postseason once he's 40. Maybe one more year after that to coincide with better free agents than this offseason.
Thinking about whatever he can to help the team but I fear for his left knee in the long run.
Kings and DeMarcus Cousins are also at odds with George Karl basically experimenting the remainder of the season. For how much he's matured, Cousins deserves some stability as a star.

I actually kinda hope big cuz ends up in NY
but the knicks don't have the #assets to make that happen really. even if they got the #1 pick, they'd need more to land him

Current noah had Knee tendetitis and looks absolutely fucking horrible, why I idiot to not want see him playing?
there's hope he return to form at off-season (lol), but now he absolutely terrible
btw he miss his last 14 free throw

By DY_nasty Go To Postits not too late to slide zach to the 2Over Wiggins? No.
Any teams take Reggie Jackson for their starting PG? Jennings coming back and unless he takes a bench role, will cause some dispute there and dude has made it clear he wants to be a starter.

Your right about Cousins price . Even then If the price was less I am 50/50 on that deal. Cousins wouldn't be able to handle the NY media and would be worse than A-Rod status eventually.
The knicks need to keep the pick and hope a top rookie, the triangle, and Melo along the promise to spend again in 2016 is enough to get LMA over the Texas triangle teams.
By DominicanPower Go To PostOver Wiggins? No.I mean yeah, wiggins does work at the 2 but its not like he'll be too small for the 3. the difference in wiggins' game between the 2/3 spot is smaller than the difference between zach's game at the 1/2 spot.
plus i don't think rubio is complete shit yet
