The 2017 NBA Draft |OT| Trust The Process
- Thread starter Jarate
- Start date
But, isn't he the next Melo?
BTW, Lebron has to be pissed right now about Butler. Lavine with an ACL and a back up isn't that much.

damn would have liked to reunite Lonzo with Leaf. We could use a forward that can shoot.

Meh, he's a trash defender. And imo, Lonzo made Leaf relevant.
Late teens is where most projections had him
Hi, Lavar.

So apparently Lamarcus Aldridge just started following Kylie Irving and some other cavs players on twitter...

If he could play defense he'd be a top 10 pick. I'm not expecting a 10 year starter out of a pick in the 20s. All of these guys are gonna have fairly huge flaws at that point. A guy who can play 15-20 minutes a game and give you some scoring/shooting at the PF spot, especially for a young developing team/PG, has some value as a late 1st round pick.
why not have Lonzo make Leaf relevant again but in the NBA

Did you hear that loser couldn't even make his high school varsity team until junior year? The kid just has no heart.

haha I fking love this kid
He was early/mid teens before I believe. In fact many mocked him for Blazers at 15 for a long time (it was usually him or J Collins mocked for Blazers)
Bolden is still available.
Get that guy and he will be that and much, much more.
Pop gonna assault KLove for not defending

I'd rather have Giles over Leaf.

Beyond his basketball skills, Patton is a perfect fit for Minnesota. The kid is from Omaha and went to Creighton. Staying in the Midwest in a cold weather climate won't be an issue for him if he develops onto a star they want to keep around long-term.
He's just sceptical about this round earth baloney.

Maybe. Maybe he won't. I do like him, but the 20s and later a complete crap shoot. Statistically most guys drafted at this point in the draft are never heard from again. Nobody really knows what these guys are going to be.
Does Aldridge play defense? Otherwise thats a dumb move by the Cavs
Cool, always good to have good character players

If it's Green/LMA for Love then that's a good trade for Cleveland. If it's just LMA for Love, then Cleveland got fleeced.
I see him as a backup at first and then the eventual replacement for Dieng as starting center when Dieng's contract is up.

If you can flip TT for LMA.
You fucking do it.
I don't care what TT does well. He is no LMA past present or future

He can play defense but its questionable how well he'd play defense out of San Antonio.
Feel like Pop could get more out of KLove than he ever could with LMA
Cavs lose in this move

why in the world would SA do that trade?

Is that an upgrade?
Well yeah obviously. Or we get a Butler, Tony Parker, IT, Manu situation.
Bolden is my guy. Imagine a Larry Nance Jr but can guard just as well 3-5 and shoot 3s. While also being taller and longer.

I don't know but that was the rumor going around. I think it would be a dumb move for SAS.

New rule?
I wouldn't be surprised if Osman is also involved. There's no way Cleveland makes that trade if it isn't Green and Aldridge.

I was just thinking a Love for Aldridge trade might happen. lol

Something's wrong, I like every move the Kings are making right now.
RC Buford and Pop are not stupid lol, they are not gonna touch TT

SA seems to be trying to ditch LMA in part to shed salary. Not sure why they'd take back Love.
Also LOL at thinking they'd take back TT's horrible contract. Pop lived through Trasho Nesterovic once already. I doubt he wants to do it again.

LMA for Channing Frye. Who says no?

I'm not sure if that's a good trade for Cleveland either. JR is pretty clutch and is surprisingly good for the locker room in terms of emotion. Green is an upgrade but LMA might be even more of a pouter than Love.
