Now who else wanna fukk with Hollywood Court?
They need Zeller. Unless they're gonna go all-in for McGee or something, they don't have anyone on the roster that can play C.

Eh, rather wait a year for the other Zeller or Nerlens if they need a 5 that bad, or trade up for Drummond.


I think Tyler will be a good player, but his little brother will be better and Nerlens has a lot more potential as well.

Portland won't be that bad next year, especially if they can plug PG and C. They still have Batum/Matthews/Aldridge.

It's a deep draft and all, but I already know who I don't want:

Waiters
Melo
Kris Joseph
any PG or PF
I hate to say it but Ross too
Rivers
Terrence Jones
Moultrie
Meyers Leonard

I haven't keeper up with Williams much. How has he looked at the 3 if y'all even played him there?

All I can remember is making 3 pt shots


D Williams isn't going to fit in on that team he's a stretch 4 and they have the best stretch for in the league. He needs to be moved for a SG or SF.

He rarely plays at the 3. He's lost completely on D whenever he's at the 3. If they don't move him the plan is for him to drop 20 pounds and play him at SF permanently. Rick just didn't think it was good for Derrick to have to learn a new position with no training camp so he was Love's backup for much of the year.

The Blazers won't be that great next year, I don't think they will make the playoffs.


Also, why don't you want Ross or Rivers?

Because Ekpe would be their best post defender and post defense is the most valuable thing in the NBA right now.

Utah already has a better post defender

and perimeter D makes post D that much easier if you have a good perimeter defender. That's what Avery Bradley has become.

Really a good move since he already knows the 4 and get him use to that 1st then try to 3 next year.

We did the same thing with vesley. He played zero minutes at the 3 this year

I think I already went into my concerns with Rivers, but as for Ross, he's improving on his weaknesses and he deserves props for that, but that Washington team should have been so much better than it was. What the T'wolves could use from the wing is a very good shooter who can also be a secondary ballhandler if need be. Ross can shoot, but he's below average at dribbling, and that's gonna hurt. Rubio was excellent as a passer, but as a team they were still near the bottom overall. It would be nice to get another guard that can facilitate for himself and for others if plan A (Rubio) can't get the best look. I'm still iffy on Jones, but for now I'd rather look to upgrade SG via trade if Derrick's still here (with Derrick we have 4 starters pretty much set)
