If we end up drafting in the top half of the first round, he's the player who I think offers the most upside to us. Not that we should spend #4 on him, but if we were to do the Atlanta trade, then I'd definitely want us to use one of those on him. To me, the ability to get Hayes at #8 and then d...

[quote]I need to take a break until the draft, these rumors are just pissing me off [/quote] Pels are trading the #4 pick to reacquire Omer Asik....

Since I didn't watch much Cavs basketball last year (which of you did?), can Love still run at all? I'm honestly trying to figure out if he fits into our offense, and I think how well he runs the floor now is important to that....

[quote]It’s a subterfuge [/quote] I think so too. Griffin is close, I think, to the Cavs' current GM. This is something floated as a smokescreen....

So, 538 fired up their computer to project the careers of those drafted, using college stats and measureables -- but then they somehow add back into the formula a scout's ranking? Seems to defeat the point. Also, they didn't have enough data to rate Garland, and they also didn't rate foreign playe...

Here's a longer reply. He didn't have a football offer from us. If he were to join the football team his first year, he'd count against our 25 signees, and we don't want that, so there's no way that he'd play football his first year at LSU. If, after that, he wanted to play football, I'm sure h...

[quote]You all don't think Griffin can secure better players with that money during those years? Pels are finally at a place where they have an amazing young core and tons of cap space to augment it later and you want to add a declining and injury-prone bloated contract to that mix? [/quote] I du...

What all this smoke means is that there's absolutely no way that the #4 pick gets moved until we are on the clock. We may get some potential deals lined up, but they will obviously be contingent on the player who is available at that spot....

That really does get us a strong starting 5 next year. Hunter makes a lot of sense for what we want to do....

[quote]not a word (or very few anyway) about who we MIGHT be interested in if we do end up picking at 4.[/quote] Did we even bring anyone in? If so, I didn't hear about it....

Crewz tweets: [quote]Okay...time for my educated guess on what happens with 4.... Hawks get 4 and E Moore Cavs get 10, Solo, and Bazemore Pels get: 8 (Reddish or Culver), K Love, 2020 Nets pick and future Cavs pick[/quote]...

Yeah, this isn't about Griff doing something brilliant so much as Pelinka being an idiot. Even the fact that Pelinka is now shopping for 2nd-round picks is silly. Pelinka could easily have negotiated the trade for one of our picks this year in exchange for one of their next year or something. H...

I now think that it's unlikely that we actually draft the #4 pick. My understanding is that there is still about $18 million in salary cap room left in the AD trade (which this pick is part of). If we trade the pick for a player with a cap hit of $18 million or less, that won't affect our cap avai...

[quote]Though it would be a bad move for the Lakers to force a rework. [/quote] Silver would bring the hammer down on them. You wanna talk about "bad faith"? Hoo boy....

[quote]the kid is 19, he'll have flaws [/quote] It isn't logical to think that the best center in the draft somehow isn't worth the #10 pick....

The Lakers may not win the NBA title, but they'll be all set to win the championship of the Big3 league....

Here's a live look from a camera inside the Lakers' War Room as Pelinka calculates cap space: [img]https://media.giphy.com/media/chLfoLEerzXnG/giphy.gif[/img]...

[quote]After they sign Kawhi [/quote] Poor Kawhi has been such a great player, and it's sad that he's never won a ring or had the chance to make a name for himself. And it would be so cool to play with LeBron … LeBron! -- just saying the name is amazing. I'm sure Kawhi would be starstruck. I c...

[quote]Cool, so that further proves my point of how low the probability of that #4 overall pick being as good as Turner.[/quote] Right. The funny thing is that people here don't think that Indiana can figure that out too. If Turner is worth more than the #4 pick, then we're going to have to giv...
