What's new

Following potential 2015 draftees

Would be super surprised if we trade up for Porzingis. You have to really really like a guy to commit that many assets to a player who is as risky as Porz is.

No one in this draft is good enough to trade up for outside of Russell and Towns.

So you are saying you wouldn't trade up for Okafor if he was on the table for #12 + Hood + Burke?
 
We pretty much have what we need. That's why it's hard to imagine picking anything other than a backup center or moving up for anything.

We have enough wings we like and would like to see what we can do with them.

We have our starting bigs. There is no doubt about that.

Our point guards aren't the best at this point but are still way young and could develop. Therfore drafting a point guard doesn't make sense either.

Imo, it's gonna be something like Kaminsky or Turner, or we are trading out.

I personally wouldn't mind moving on from Burks, and trading up to get Mario or Winslow. I think we'd be better off. But on the other hand I'm willing to give Burks another shot too. Just not sure his defense will ever come around.
 
Yeah, bad deal on my part. But saying you should only trade up for Towns or Russell is stupid, imo.
Not really. You could end up making a terrible deal.

What if Hood turns out to be a stud, and then you trade him, picks, and Burke for Okafor who could turn out be a very average crappy one way player. Or someone else who just isn't that good. Then you wasted all those assets and set your franchise back pretty far.

We know we have some pretty good stuff right now and are gonna be pretty good. It's hard to argue we mortgage everything just to take a chance on another lengthy development project.

We could definitely use anohter wing.

Ingles is funny, but he isn't a rotation player on a contending team. I think we need to upgrade that 4th wing for sure. Unless Millsap develops a consistent 3pt shot, we will have to get another quality wing.

Same goes with every position right now. All our backups kind of suck or are just OK other than Hood and, at times, Booker (though he hasn't really shown to be consistent enough). We definitely need upgrades everywhere.

Personally I would highlight back-up center as our least concern since I'd rather just see us go small when Gobert isn't in the game.

Yeah pretty much.


There is a slight chance we take a flyer on guys with tremendous upsides but extremely raw as well though. Oubre, Payne, Looney and Lyles come to mind.
