2014 Nba Off Season Thread

[muzikfrk75]

PLAYER CARD
24
P.J. Hairston
Charlotte Hornets (43 - 39)

COLLEGE: North Carolina
HT: 6-5
WT: 229
POS: SG

The Bobcats also need more shooting at the shooting guard position and like McDermott, Hairston is ready to go from day one. For a team that really wasn't great shooting the ball last year from the wing, adding McDermott and Hairston is a major upgrade.

PLAYER CARD
25
Jarnell Stokes
Houston Rockets (54 - 28)

COLLEGE: Tennessee
HT: 6-9
WT: 262
POS: PF

The Rockets have Terrence Jones at the 4, but Stokes could give them a different look -- another big body that crashes the boards along with Dwight Howard. The Rockets are heavy into analytics and Stokes is one of the best analytic values left on the board.

PLAYER CARD
26
Mitch McGary
Miami Heat (54 - 28)

COLLEGE: Michigan
HT: 6-10
WT: 250
POS: PF

Mitch McGary, PF, Michigan

The Heat got beat up in the paint in the playoffs. McGary, when his back is healthy, is tough, physical and plays with great energy. He worked out for the Bucks and appears to be healthy. If he is, he's a steal at this point in the draft.

PLAYER CARD
27
Clint Capela
Phoenix Suns (48 - 34)

COLLEGE: Switzerland
HT: 6-11
WT: 222
POS: PF

Capela's stock is all over the place. He's getting looks in the late lottery all through the draft. He's so raw, but his length and shot blocking abilities appeal to every team looking for a rim protector. If he's gone, other international players like Walter Tavares or Artem Klimenko could go in his place. The Suns have three first-round picks, but I don't think there's any way they're bringing three rookies to their roster next year.

PLAYER CARD
28
K.J. McDaniels
Los Angeles Clippers (57 - 25)

COLLEGE: Clemson
HT: 6-6
WT: 195
POS: SF

The Clippers could use an athletic wing and McDaniels fits the bill. He can jump out of the gym, rebound, block shots and get to the basket. His jump shot needs to improve but he's the type of player who could help right now.

PLAYER CARD
29
Jordan Adams
Oklahoma City Thunder (59 - 23)

COLLEGE: UCLA
HT: 6-5
WT: 209
POS: SG

Adams might be the most unathletic guard in the draft, but he really knows how to score the basketball and could be a spark plug off the bench for OKC next year.

PLAYER CARD
30
Patric Young
San Antonio Spurs (62 - 20)

COLLEGE: Florida
HT: 6-10
WT: 247
POS: C

The Spurs love players that are "over themselves." That's a perfect description for Young. He does all the little things, rebounds, defends and uses his toughness to get buckets. He won't do anything spectacular, but is NBA ready right now.

I'd be fine with Exum and Stauskas if we could trade MCW to the Lakers for the 7th pick. I honestly believe MCW's value will never be higher than what it is now.

 

[BStapies]

nuke the damn team and make a new one

We'd be glad to take MCW off your hands for the 7th pick....we can use a good 6'7 PG

You would trade the 7th pick for MCW?

 

[Newzz]

You would trade the 7th pick for MCW?

I would yes.....especially since Im getting rid of Steve Nash as well


I would rather resign Jordan Hill, bring in Luol Deng and hopefully Greg Monroe as well and rock a starting lineup of:

C Jordan Hill
PF Greg Monroe
SF Luol Deng
SG Kobe Bryant
PG Michael Carter-Williams

MCW aint all that.

[red222]

@RicBucher: Sources: KLove deal to Warriors is dead. Love "unlikely" now to be dealt before draft.

 

[tremonthustler1]

Better start referring to the T'Wolves as "we" again

 

[Newzz]

MCW aint all that.

He's just as good, if not better, than anyone that will be available with the #7 pick......unless Joel Embiid is on the board.


Surely, Parker/Wiggins/Exum will already be gone.


Vonleh, Randle, Gordon arent better prospects than MCW, who's already shown that he is legit NBA talent.


I'd do the trade

I'd do the trade

MCW had a decent rookie season that got propped up with padded numbers he racked up in the midst of blowouts, and there were a TON of blowouts. He still turns the ball over way too much for my liking, and his jumper has so many faults that I doubt it'll ever improve to the point where it stops being a weakness in his game. And it'll be much more diffcult to fix those faults in his jumpshot considering that he's already 22 going on 23. I don't think he'll ever be better than the 8-12 range of best point guards in the NBA. I could be wrong, but I prefer taking my chances with the upside of Exum or Smart.

Draft Exum, and trade MCW and Thad for the #7 and Nash. Let Nash mentor Exum for a year or so.

Right for YALL it makes sense, because you can get Exum


We cant, , so imo MCW is on the same level or better than all the other 3 top prospects that are "mocked" to being still on the board when we pick at 7 (Julius Randle, Marcus Smart, and Doug McDermott)....except he's proven in the NBA already that's why i would do the trade.


Kobe has a weak jumper when he came in the NBA as well, as did Trevor Ariza when he got here.....that can be worked on and fixed

 

[Kang Deezy]

I get it... I understand the draft, the prospects, the upside...

But Danny drafting Embiid and Saric would be the equivalent of sticking his middle finger out to the city of Boston. I don't think it'd go over well

 

[Kang Deezy]

If he gets taken he'll be one of those second round picks that a team stashes overseas for 2-3 years.

He's worthy of being a 1st round pick, even with the fact that he won't play for 2 more seasons.
