I want

Jahlil Okafor
Justin Anderson
Anthony Brown

as our 3 picks.

Anderson & Brown both SFs, but I'd kind of like to see if Brown can move down and play the 2 for a handful of minutes. And unless they take a shot on Robert Upshaw at 34, then Brown is better than any of the draft & stash possibilities, who are all Centers it seems.

But why not, just go Okafor and go big in Free Agency.

Aldridge would fit with Okafor. And he can slide up to the 5 for enough minutes a game to get Julius close to 30 mpg.

I'd be content with Okafor, Aldridge & Randle for the next 4 years. And know I have it solidified and not have to even bother looking at it again.


Then you go into 2016 with Clarkson, Okafor, Randle & Aldridge.

And know you need to go SF and SG in whatever order. And fill the back court bench.

if we draft big and then sign another frontcourt player, we're left with slim pickings for our backcourt

if we draft a big, we go after a FA PG, and vice-versa

I agree with the standpoint that it's foolish to think that the Lakers will have 3 rooks on the roster. Its not possible after last years season to basically do it all over again.
 
#27 is most likely packaged with every possible deal from here on out whether its to get someone or clear cap space ala GETTING RID OF NICK YOUNG :lol:

#34 I would be happy with keeping the most... with #2 being traded :nerd:

Wonder if Miami would take NY and 27 for #10 and Mcbob.

Could still afford the max for Harris.

seems like they want to unload salary in any trade involving the #10 pick. 

gotta somehow pay wade, dragic...deng, and whiteside

Mitch and his hatred of Dook :smh:

Or they take DLO, trade him to Philly and get next year's pick back and we get Jah anyway.

We'll be slim somewhere regardless.

They're building a team, and it won't be a 1 year thing where everything is set in stone.


If you have Okafor, Randle & Aldridge.. You are set, you don't even have to look at that positions for anything more than 10 minutes per game. Excluding injury, but everyone would love to never have to worry about injury.

Clarkson, Kobe & ????
???? , Nick Young, Jabari Brown, Anderson & Anthony Brown.


They'll have a couple mil in cap space, then the room exception to fill in the bench at the wing spots. And then hope we find a decent SF at the vet min.


Also with Okafor, Randle & Aldridge. Would open up Black & Kelly to be moved for bench shooting. Black should probably be dealt anyway, his contract could be 700% higher next year if he puts up decent stats, Kelly just to match contracts.


Then you go into 2016 with like $50mil in cap space to fill maybe 3 rotation spots on the wing.
 
Don't think I've ever been nervous going into a draft. :lol:


Who knows what the hell this FO is thinking. Mitch is smart but Jim is a clown.

It's a straight unload that the Heat want to do.


But how about McBob & # 10 for Black, 27 & 34.

McBob replaces Black for a season, or we try to trade him next year when his salary is peanuts for a solid rotation guy.

Add about $5mil in salary. And have $16.4mil in cap space.



Then have Jordan Clarkson, Stanley Johnson, Julius Randle, Jahlil Okafor

That seems to be a distinction, you're not allowed to make.



Mitch can't get credit for all the good.
Then Jimmy get all the credit for the bad.


The last draft where we had eggs in a basket, exclude last year because we have no reference for Randle.. But Jim Buss was the guy begging for Bynum to be traded. He held onto him. Trusted the process. Let him develop into the 2nd best C in the league. And everybody said he'll never let go of Bynum, and then gave the Okay right before the bomb blew up.
 
Man I'm really intrigued with Clarkson, Johnson, Randle, and Okafor. 

YOUNG AS HELL and money to spend.

It'd take way more than that to get number 10. I'd rather have Booker if he's there, don't like Stanley at all.
