The show went off about 15 min ago. They were sort of half-joking. Saying if they would have kept Ish Smith instead of signing IT then we'd still have Dragic and all our picks.

Yay. Spurs with Milutinov. Only the 3rd time tonight I've nailed a pick (also Cameron Payne to OKC.)

Larry Nance Jr. got drafted in the first round! That's so awesome. I am so happy for that kid. Not cool he had to go to the Lakers but still....

Harrell and Looney are really good value here. Someone take Tucker and a 2nd PLEASEEEEEEE.

With Portis going to the Bulls, I could see us trading for Taj Gibson.

Think there's any chance Kevon Looney drops to the Suns 44?
The only reason I'm still watching, really...

That would be a pretty good pick up, a definite upgrade in the post.

None, but I think we could get Dakari Johnson or Rakeem Christmas. Both would be great fits as a backup to Len. Light years better than Baron.

You all know I've wanted Gibson for years but we can't take him and his salary with the Morris twins still around. We need to save that cap space for an A+ talent on this team. It's why I don't understand Gambo saying that if we strike out on LMA and Love that we'll look for 2 free agents, one in the $10 Million range (clearly Danny Green) and one in the $6 Million range (clearly Carroll.) Those guys might be small upgrades on our roster but it wouldn't move the needle as a team. So as a strategy it makes very little sense and I hope Gambo is wrong.

What's the story on Wright? I think his contract might be up, think he might be restricted.
Can't let that guy go, only guy on the team that can catch a lob-pass.

Trade the fucking twins for picks and a candy bar.

Too many players on the roster right now, need to package some players for one that might be better than anyone in the package... fuck, there goes Looney... Can I say fuck here?

Wright is a UFA. We have his bird rights & can go over the cap to sign him but he's free to sign wherever he pleases. RFA is a status reserved for players coming off their rookie deals. Wright has been in the league for 7 seasons already.

I'd rather have Jimmer than Bledsoe at this point. At least Jimmer can handle the fucking rock.

For three minutes a game?

Absolutely.

Looney is great value there. Harrell is amazing value in the 2nd round. I hope we are working the phones hard for him.

As far as players, including our 2 picks tonight we'll have 11 guys under contract with Knight & Wright as FAs that need to be signed. We also have Macneal as a non guaranteed deal. So after tonight we'd potentially already have 14.

Bledsoe
Tucker
Len
Markieff
Marcus
Granger
Warren
Bullock
Goodwin
Booker
44th pick
(MacNeal)
(Knight)
(Wright)

Given the choice between giving Jimmer the green light behind the 3-point line and Bledsoe turning the ball over driving in the paint... I don't know man, I don't think I can take another season of that shit.
