No.. no more Kirilenko for me. Thanks, but no thanks.

With Hayward showing what he could do in terms of facilitating - I think having Irving there is a bit redundant.

Also I think it will be easier for Williams to move to SF (ala Beasley) than Millsap given that he's already knocking down 3's and just the way he moves.

i think millsap isnt a good choice for SF anyway. but having a more affordable player in SF like Leonard, which i think will be a really good piece in any team, plus having a good pg like Knight or Irving, would make me happier than having Williams. i dnt know why but i just dont feel williams will be a star player. He seems more like a role player. But irving can be an elite point guard.
 
With Orlando going up in flames, is there any chance they'd trade Howard to us (with an extension done of course) for the #1 pick, Favors, the GS pick and filler? The way things are headed in Orlando, that's not such a bad deal and good luck getting better than that for him. Please advise.
 
Irving, easily. We have skilled and athletic big men. Now we just need someone who can get them the ball and can shoot well to space the floor for them.

Trade the #1 for 11 points and 7 rebounds? Ok then....

1) There's more to the game than pure production
2) He's been great in the playoffs
3) He's smart, young and has many other qualities (methodical low-post ability but doesn't demand possessions and is a good passer, very good at setting picks and playing off of them, legitimate giant of a player and can move his feet remarkably well on both sides of the ball despite that, is strong, has no real injury history to speak of/remarkably durable for a player of his size, has strong fundamentals, and has a jumper) that become a rare combination.
4) There is no sure-thing in this draft, even Irving (hasn't played a ton) and Williams (tweener).

In fact, I don't think Memphis would do it unless we sweetened it and took Mike Conley as well.

YES! This would defenitly be the best offer out there for Orlando. It would probably have to include CJ and Rights to Tomic as part of that filler! Imagine Dwight and Al playing in the front court together.

I don't know that they complement each other very well, but I do know that Dwight wouldn't sign off on an extend-and-trade to Utah (at least not now).

Dwight Howard is going to be a Laker. It is pretty much set in stone.

I'm not so sure. Lakers still have to sweeten that deal. That probably means Smith is going to ask them to take back at least one of of his bad contracts. And I'm not sure how great the net gain is from Howard to Bynum if you assume that A) Bynum will be healthy for a whole year (big assumption) and B) They start running the offense through Bynum. Bynum is a massive talent.

If I'm the Lakers, all I'd be trying to do is replace Fisher with someone who can actually defend.

Jose Calderon is not a great defender, but he's not any worse than Fisher is against most PGs at this point, and offensively he's a massive upgrade and perfect for what they do (so long as Kobe doesn't fall apart).

Kirk Hinrich would be perfect for them, though, IMO.
