Demps should have gotten a top 7 or 8 protected pick this year then down to top 5 next year, he probably would have gotten it if pushed hard enough


Top 5 protection out to 2020 is both ridiculous and unnecessary. I have a feeling every time he pushed for higher protection Philly countered with more years and then the clock ran out. They may have had some exploratory talks prior to the draft, but this all went down pretty fast in real time while the Pelicans were on the clock. Philly had the leverage because they were unloading the better asset IMO. They could get a decent deal for Holiday any time after the draft, we'd have trouble getting as much value for our picks after the draft. I seriously doubt Philly would have agreed to anything they thought would make it more likely to be a 2015 pick than a 2014 pick.

March 3rd, 4th, & 7th will answer whether or not we keep the pick…

we play Sacramento, L.A., & Milwaukee..hate to say it but we've got

to go 0-3 to have a legit chance at keeping it.

if we win no more than 5 of the next 25, well'll get that #5 pick according to my tank guestimator.

Roberts
EG
Tyreke
?
Ajinca/Withey/Steamer

We can at least agree that we do have a chance though, correct?

Keep in mind, Tyreke went 2-9 with 4 points in 27 minutes last

night. We DEFINITELY have a chance for the ole goose egg.

that's what I'm thinking...we will have to go about 5-20 or worse to even have a realistic shot.

...currently on a 5 game losing streak and looking terrible. If AD misses significant time, it could happen.

We just have so many bad players on our team right now. MIL, PHI, and the Lakers are the only teams whose talent sucks more, imo.

ya, there's a shot...the lineup will likely be:

Roberts
Gordon
Aminu
Ajinca or Babbitt
Stiemsma

ya, he is very bad...just a competent SF will be a big upgrade for this team and make a big difference, imo...priority #1 for the offseason.

...one of the decent thing about his game in the past -- FT shooting...down to 62% this season...and his hair

We're not catching the top 3, but I think kobe will play a few games.

BOS 20-39 6.SAC 20-37 7.UTA 20-36 8.NYK 21-36 9.CLE 23-36 10.DET 23-35 

They have guys that will keep playing hard. So, once they all win 4 games, we'll be in the lead. AD injury a blessing in disguise

No one taller than 6'5 will be able to play any decent ball on pur team

I've liked Ajinca's play recently. He's a really good bench player.

Just felt like saying that.

Jazz and cavs will plqy tomorrow, so one of them will win. Kings and lakers will also play, so one of them will win. We have a hard schedule to finish the year. I think a top 4 finish is possible. Can you guys imqgine adding one of those rookie Cs or SFs?

At #4, we'd only have a 17.2 % chance of dropping to 6 or 7

I was surprised to see Sacramento still with so few wins, I thought I had heard they've been playing better since the Rudy Gay trade. But I guess they still are the Kings. Demarcus Cousins just got suspended and fined for punching Patrick Beverly and going after a ref. He's out of control in the video clip with multiple coaches having to hold him back.

I wish sometimes refs would get thrown out of the game. They annoy me.

cuz is such a tPOS


At least he wants to win. It'll be very interesting. Let me just fantasize for a minute

Jrue
improved Evans
Parker/wiggins
Stronger Davis
Whoever we trade EG for

6th man: Ryno

Bench:
Ajinca
Money to sign vets with Aminu & steamer money
Hopefully morrow
Rivers
Roberts (meh, he can shoot)

I'd be so flapping satisfied with that.
