Motrez was making some bizarre decisions this past year had me worried. Whether it was his attitude or shot selection... sort of a red flag in terms of his IQ/personality

I did not know Michael Qualls tore his ACL. 
Wanted the Spurs to nab him, or Bobby Portis but, know Portis will be gone at 26. I see we are interested in Larry Nance, Jr. Also. I'd take any of the 3. We need a wing or a big. Period. Over-the-hill Ginobili and Thiago's been injury prone so, we need to draft a 4 or 5.

I am sure George Karl would probably ship #2 to Nuggets for Lawson OR Faried and #7

Kristaps Porzingis really shows great awareness (other than wanting to play for the Knicks) in these quotes: bit.ly/1HeHwnL

3 way that nets kings Randle, Lawson, and probably a swap of picks among those 3 teams seems ideal for them. Honestly if Sacramento can get #2 I'd do that deal and grab Jah. You don't lose anything really in the long term

That trade is so dumb if it happens. No pick in this draft is worth boogie. He is the best center in the league and you trade him smh

Wouldn't consider him the best center in the league mainly because of the numbers he puts on a pretty bad team.
But yes I doubt LA offers Randle + #2

If the Kings can get the #2 pick, Clarkson and another couple assets and get rid of a bad Carl Landry contract, he could be a ok trade

Praying they take Okafor or Kristaps so Russell can fall in the Sixers lap.

The obsession is that centers are the anchor of your defense. The NBA is a PNR league and if you have to play a center that can't guard it - it's VERY harmful to your defense. I've watched Brook Lopez play about 400 times. When he's passable defending the PNR and defending the rim, our defense is solid. When he's bad, it KILLS the Nets. If Okafor has trouble defending the PNR, properly rotating and protecting the rim, or rebounding defensively - it's going to be exploited on a regular basis.
No one is knocking low post offense - it's just that becoming GREAT in the low post is really, really hard nowadays. If he proves he can consistently score on post ups + catch the ball deep in the paint (with how physical and big defenders are - this is a really tough task) - he's going to start dealing with schemes specifically against him. Aggressive fronts, hard/soft double teams, entire teams digging at the ball. You need to not just be able to score but make perfect passes, take care of the ball, and consistently fight for deep position. It's not easy but low post offense isn't dead. LBJ just carried the Cavs through the post. Dwight did plenty of work in the post in the playoffs. So did Blake. So did Timmy, ZBo, etc.

Phil takes Mario
Kristaps to Sac
Utah with two 7-footers if they add Turner
Rondae at 16
McHale's family lives in Minnesota / Tyus to HOU at 18
R.J. Hunter, No. 27 to the Lakers. Wow.
Both the Jazz, Pacers swinging for the fences. That's the range.

That's my boy
It's a shame that Gallinari never got a chance to play his own game under D'Antoni at MSG.
