Following potential 2015 draftees

As far as I'm concerned, if we land Trey Lyles or Frank Kaminsky with the 12 it will be a HOME RUN. I'm foaming at the mouth for the draft to get here. Mostly because it signifies the start of the offseason, and I'm eager to see what the Front Office has planned. Assuming we're fully healthy, we're a playoff team and anything less is a disappointment. The draft could be really great for us because both Lyles or Kaminsky will be able to contribute productively and positively off the bench from the get go.
 
He reminds me Jeff Teague. Brutal to pass on him. Think he would hinder dantes development? What could we get for trey?

Except he seems to worry too much about what Locke thinks. To me Locke is just another guy out there with an opinion in a sea of opinions. Agree or don't agree and call it a day. All he's saying is that the track record of older players who don't excel in their first two years isn't great. In that sense Kaminsky is a risky pick. I'm not sure he's right in Kaminsky's case, but whatever. I'm a lot more concerned about Frank's defense.

I do find it interesting that when the data disagrees with certain posters the response is the the player they are pushing is "unique" or "special".
 
Lyles is an intriguing prospect.

However, he doesn't even attempt to play defense and makes CJ Miles look physical. For as talented as he is man does he have some glaring weaknesses.

Trade into the top 8. Draft Hezonja, Johnson or Porzingis. Call it a day and let Snyder and Co. get to work.

Just don't see them moving up. Burks and Hood will be out of the question unless they can get the #3 (Russell). And the GS 1st isn't valuable enough (unless Curry's ankle explodes in the finals).

I honestly don't see this happening. We have a lot of young talented players on rookie contracts. Why trade those? They're cheap, talented, and undeveloped. Why trade someone who could explode?

Also, if the talent at 8 is far better than the talent at 12, why would a team trade down? Unless we are willing to give up a big piece, like Favors, don't expect a trade.

You can't trade Exum or Hood, they might explode to be great players (and are so cheap right now). You can't trade Favors, because he's too big of a piece for us. And teams aren't going to give us a top 10'pick for Burke.
