Following potential 2015 draftees

[stitches]

Done, thank God.

Ulis
Briscoe
Murray
Poythress
Skal

You think Murray can play PG? I kind of see him as a combo guard more than a clear SG.

Thanks Lilo and Stitches!

I love our backcourt this year.

Ulis (little badass, period)
Briscoe (big badass, period)
Murray (tore up Nike Hoops Summit 2x)
Mulder (JUCO transfer that shot around 50% from 3 last year and athletic freak)

add to those

a senior Alex Poythress (PF) finally playing in position (bad for opposing teams)
a sophomore Marcus Lee (PF/C)
#1 recruit and projected #1 draft pick (C), Skal Labissierre (think Anthony Davis)

and Matthews, Hawkins, Willis, and others..

Not as deep as last year.. but just as good, imo.

fixed.

According to https://www.sheridanhoops.com/2015/06/24/mock-draft-6-0-cousins-on-the-move-knicks-on-the-outside-looking-in/#yDTwwgr5FfkzKrQ2.99 Booker is a lock to go to Charlotte @ 9. This site further suggests that if Booker is off the board at 9 Charlotte may trade back with either Utah or Phoenix (I think to get Hunter).

This is good for us, especially the latter scenario. That should get Oubre, Winslow or WCS to 12, even if Turner and Johnson are gone.

I would be willing to trade #12 for #10 and Josh McRoberts.

Then at #10 take Stanley Johnson.

I been saying this for a while. Miami needs cap relief, to make the salaries match you throw in Booker whom they can release, and we get McBob's who is the perfect 3rd big for Snyder. Hell, I'd throw in the rights to Tomic since he's never coming to Utah (maybe in a miami uniform).

So what's the latest on the Knicks?

Anyone (but me) care?

Porzingis seems imminent if it goes Towns-Okafor-Russell. He and Greg Monroe would be the best big's they've had in a long time.

 

[Coach Ellis]

I feel worse and worse for being happy that OKC missed the playoffs They should have made it and we should have had their 2017 pick :\

2017 looks like a good draft, but that OKC pick won't be worth that much. The Jazz are better off having it conveyed in 2018 so they have multiple picks in both 2017 and 2018. That Let's them package picks in a blockbuster deal more easily since they can go multiple consecutive seasons.

Sounds like Noah Vonleh and Gerald Henderson are getting traded for Nicolas Batum.

from Woj.

Wow! They really gave up on Vonleh after a year in which he was injured! WOW!!!! That's such a dysfunctional franchise.

Great trade for Portland if they're rebuilding, except for one thing:

I really really really really really dislike trades like this for the side that is acquiring the guy who barely played this year because you are taking the other team's word for why he wasn't contributing. Makes it a lot riskier. Basically, I just don't like huge information discrepancies in deals like this because it opens you up to trading for some really mediocre assets.

I don't mind the move. That's how deal flow works.
