No hate but serious question...why are y'all so happy about the draft? Like what the hell is Okafor or Towns supposed to do if y'all draft them? It's gonna take them dudes time (years) to even develop in the triangle system (and that's assuming they pan out to be more decent) and Melo is only gonna get older. Why not try and trade that pick to the Celtics for Rondo or to the Suns for Dragic? Then when the off-season comes, throw everything you can at Gasol?

But being excited about a draft pick seems weird as fukk because y'all are NOT rebuilding with Melo still on the squad, lol.

No one is happy about anything. The point is tanking will be the best possible outcome going forward. Whatever moves we make will, in all likelihood, come short of putting a championship contender on the court for the next couple years at the very least. Might as well set ourselves up for the future.

Cauley-Stein = Javelle Mcgee with a Brain/Tyson Chandler who can catch

I wouldn't waste a lotto pick but anything in 8-15 range you're getting great value

He's still growing into an NBA frame too, if the Knicks can get another 1st rounder (Timmy, Shump) ... They need to get this guy.

You'd have to be an idiot to think anyone is happy in this thread.

unless we can make a trade of some sort
we are screwed
draft aint helping us in melos prime
its no coincidence that melos best seasons came with kidd and billups
2 veterans pgs that will tell him to fukk off if they have to and players he respects
only player i see like that right now who will be avaliable is rondo
get him and al jefferson who is also a free agent and take it from there

gasol and lamarcus aint happening

Cap space and draft picks are what keep teams relevant in this league

I hope something gets done about the tanking shyt. I need Phil to go ahead and put some shyt together. Time to move THjr, JRSmith, and the draft pick should all be on the table. I want him to find a diamond in the rough, but i would be happy with an established star as well.
