Yeah, you're right. Outside of Steven Adams and Luke Ridnour I didn't know who those guys were.

Steven Adams was drafted with the 12th pick and has averaged 5 points and 5 rebounds per game in 2 years. You can pretty much bank on the fact that Randle and Okafor average more than that in their next year.

Luke Ridnour had been in the league for 10 years before the James Harden trade.

So yeah. I didn't know who Mitch McGar and Alex Abrines were, and neither did many.

The point remains that the trade isn't the same. A 12th pick, a second round pick, and a bullshite point gaurd? Yeah. You knew exactly what I meant, but congratulations on schooling me about 2 nobody's.

Knicks keep pursuing deals to move out of No. 4 spot and back in lottery, league sources tell Yahoo.

The Knicks finally have a draft pick, finally have a good one, and are working SO HARD to screw this up.

You don't know that for sure though.

He was traded for like an hour ago.

That wasn't the trade....

The Thunder got Kevin Martin and Jeremy Lamb, two first-round picks and a second-round pick

It's weird, everyone acted like it was doomsday when the Knicks got the 4th pick and predicted they would trade it. It's shaken out where the top of the draft is stronger than just the top 3 and they could have their pick of a lot of intriguing guys- mudiay, porzingis, Winslow.

If they pick up an ok asset just to trade down and feel better about picking trey lyles that's so Knicks. And I like lyles.

Yeah I like Lyles pro prospects a lot, I don't like him being taken before 10th at all though.

I think the draft is sort of a crap shoot after 6 tbh

It blows my mind when these successful businessmen get a team and can't figure out that they need to have a proper power structure.

Grizz sort of went through it last summer. Pera bought the team and gave Jason Levian I shite ton of power. It backfired and we almost had a colossal melt down last summer.

I can at least understand when a tech guy who made quick money screws it up. Stephen Ross being all over the place for the dolphins drives me crazy.

I was a big Levian fanboy when he left philly, guess he wasn't as sharp as I thought.

RTR: Rumor is the Grizz are interested in the Gallinari sweepstakes. Thoughts?

I still think he is. Some of the moves they made while he was here were fantastic. I think Pera wanted to be more involved and that is where they started to run in to issues.

According to one of the local radio guys here that is about as connected to the team as anyone that there is apparently zero chance of it happening.

I think we offered Jeff Green and they hung up the phone.

I would have loved it tho

That's all well and good Vivz, but Karl still needs to work with Cousins and you can't expect a guy who has been coaching for 25 years to just sit back and not meddle with the roster.

Especially when Karl has done that at every stop

Woj just said on FS1 that the Russell to LA rumors are a smokescreen to get Philly to trade picks. Said that Lakers are set on Okafor and haven't spoken much today to Sacramento about Boogie trade
