Splits going balls deep.
Exum is not dropping to the 7 slot, no way. He's 4 on most draft boards.
Well LA might end up with Marcus Smart then.
Smart is not a bad player, he's ridiculously strong for a PG. He finished with 19 And1's and has been known to bully players in his position. Dude can post up and is strong finisher. Shooting needs work though.
Also an excellent defender in college. Tremendous instincts in passing lanes.
I read Bosh comparisons with Vonleh but they couldn't be anymore different. Bosh is a scorer since day one, Vonleh has upside offensively but he's going to need tons of work. Defensively is where he'll shine. Great motor with NBA ready body. Also has an aircraft like wing span 7'4. Has a knack for blocking and rebounding which is always a nice commodity. Probably won't live up to a #7 expectation assuming he's picked there unless he puts in work to become a two way player.
Trade #7 to Suns for #14/#27/Minnesota 2015 1st
Take LaVine at 14, and someone like Shabazz Napier or Spencer Dinwiddie at 27.
Double up on PGs since it's a need position, but worst case, LaVine has size to shift into a SG if the PG element doesn't take, but Dinwiddie or Napier are proven winners as a lead guard.
Also get a 1st that's valuable to Minny for potential Kevin Love trade/sign-n-trade, or you get a 1st for next year when you prep to sign away Love from Minny.
Suns then draft Gordon at #7 and the best available SG/SF at #18.
Beast.

LBJ says he doesn't care what seed they are at. He knows they traded their 1st round pick to us in the IT/Clarkson/Nance Jr deal. Currently det pick sits at #21. As it inches closer to the lottery, it makes it much easier for Maginka to pair with Luol Deng in a trade. Deng is still owed $36M.
This is a significant step in our efforts to sign 2 max players AND keep Randle.
Lonzo
Max Player
Ingram
Max Player
Randle
Lopez
That's a contending team right there. I wonder what 2 premiere max FAs are out there waiting to join our young core?
Or we can get from under Deng's albatross of a contract, sign 1 max player, re-sign Randle, and punt our capspace to 2019 when Kiwi and Klay are available.
I'm good with that too tbh.
We may be able to poach either Kiwi or even AD this summer. We can offer anybody on our roster to Pop for Kiwi (or he walks for nothing like Melo did New York). In this scenario, we have 3 max players as early as next year.
For you farmers rolling your eyes, does Pop say no to a combination of Kuz, Ingram, Cavs 1st round pick - vice watching Kiwi walking for nothing? I doubt it. Same diff with the Pelicans.
cavs may actually want a wounded Boston ...
sliding to 7th better than 4/5 sloth tbh ...
And if Lue was smart they have to find a 2-3 game stretch to rest LeBron ...hechas carried way to much of a load ...and though James appears superhuman its the recipe that tore Kobe's achillles ...
