Team confirms Ben Mclemore will be in New Orleans this weekend for an INTERVIEW not a workout

Mclemore's stock apparently is taking a hit as Orlando has locked into Trey Burke according to a league source

The only problem with drafting McLemore is listening to Gordon whine before he gets traded.

Gordon can STFD and STFU.

We need scorers, especially while Gordon's off the court. With the injuries he's had, there's been a lot more "off the court" than "on the court" with him.

Wow at the magic possibly taking Burke that high..

I'm all in for McLemore if he falls to us.

McLemore could play some 3 next to him, and play 2 when we have Gordon running the show at 1 at times. And he can play the 2 next to Rivers with the 2nd unit.

Gordon can shut the frick up. If we get McLemore, it is time to showcase the frick out of Gordon if he is healthy and trade him for whatever we can get at the deadline.

And can shoot lights out. His knock is his assertiveness and taking people off the dribble.

However, if he falls to us because of some draft workouts, I will be so goddamn happy.

You know what? I'm not getting my hopes up for this. I'm just going to expect he doesn't get past Phoenix and we take Bennett or MCW or someone like that.

I'm happier about Orlando and Burke more than McLemore getting to us.


If Burke's gone, it means two of McLemore, Oladipo, Noel, Len, Bennett, and Porter will be there.

Don't particularly want Bennett, but we'd have at least a 50-50 shot of a better player than him being available.

Let's talk about the teams in between Orlando and us and if they would take him:

Washington

Charlotte

Phoenix

Why wouldn't any of those teams take McLemore?

Washington just drafted Beal and have Wall, so I can agree there.

But Charlotte and Phoenix?

I like Mclemore a lot, he reminds me of Paul George in that they both have crazy athleticism and a great shooting stroke.

If he can improve his handle he could be a star.

Draft Express redid his scouting report video the other day

Thanks for the news, Sammobile.

I can't see Charlotte wanting Oladipo (or Porter, for that matter) as they have MKG as their defensive wing. So we just have to hope they want Len, Noel or Bennett.

And then Phoenix...I have no idea.

Phoenix needs pretty much everything.


I'm not sure how well McLemore fits alongside Dragic, who is definitely a shoot-first point.
