How can the wizards trade Rashard lewis’ horrific contract and we are still stuck with Andris?

Ugh….do you people need to keep on over thinking this?

The pick should be Barnes if he falls, which he won’t, so the next candidate should be Perry Jones. After that, it should be Terrance Jones.

Perry Jones has more upside than Terrance…obviously!

And you guys wanted damaged goods in the one dimensional Sullinger two weeks ago? haha

No Tyreke Evans..he would be a cancer to the team. (his play, not his personality)

Josh Smith is available it seems. Hawks want to move up.

Maybe Trading Steph to Kings for Tyreke, so Kings can trade 5 + Steph to Bobcats? We take Lillard and slide Klay or Reke to 3. Would be super interesting to see;

Lillard
Thompson
Evans
Lee
Bogut

The upgrade would seemingly be athleticism in exchange for a little less bball IQ and shooting prowess. Whatever they do, I hope they are able to package Bieds or RJ in a deal for some cap relief.

Trailblazers wouldn’t want another draft pick unless they wanted to move into the second pick to take Kidd-Gilchrist. That would leave a donut hole @ the point that even Jason Kidd couldn’t solve in the long term.

Still think the W’s best bet is to move into the aforementioned #2 slot, but who to package? The only likely candidates are Klay & Steph & the Bobcat’s already are stocked @ the point. Unless they would be trading, say, Kemba Walker & the #2 for the #7 & Steph. . .

Lillard would be insurance for Steph & allow him to play the 2, mitigating primary ballhandling responsibilities. . .Klay would then be the 3? Supposedly he is a relatively weak rebounder but as a 3 he would have the quickness advantage but give up height mismatch almosd nightly. . .but the backcourt depth would be something else!

McGuire would have to stay & this would almost make Rush redundant. . .Wright would get another chance & perhaps more touches with a glut of ballhandlers. . .

BSPN reports Sullinger was diagnosed with a bulging “mass” in his back. They go into project Sullinger may not even be considered in the first round.

Supposedly the condition is exacerbated by a “tight” hamstring & flexor tendon in his accompanying hip.

I’m here to tell you I have a back condition 9three crushed nerves in my lower lumbar region) exacerbated by a hamstring pull & accompanying “tightness” in the flexor tendon area. This causes me tightness & discomfort & have depleated my physical effectivity. I am slightly built so don’t have the added ingredient of a weight problem to mitigate the situation. This “weighty” issue (pardon the pun) has to be a definite “red flag” not only to the W’s but the remainder of the league.

Glad this came to the surface now. . .

I never saw us trap or really put pressure on teams like they did to us. Jenkin got the ball taken from him like every other game, why, because other PG’s would make him work! Thats what we will have to do! With Lillard we now will have a PG who is fast enough to keep up with other guards! Taking Lillard would send a message to everyone that we can develop talent!

Wow, that comment of moving Curry to the two wudnt make sene for GS becuz if that was the case they could have kept Monta. But I believe teams with Small guards can win. Look at what the Clippers did with Paul and Billups? And once Billups was hurt they went with Foye if i am not mistaking. Ist all about defense, and if u can be active on defense you can win, the Dubs were not active enough on D to win last year in my opinion! Klay and Curry are the same player to me, just one is 6’8, With Lillard you get a Scoring PG who can pass as well and break down the Defense and dish to other guys! Lillard will have what hye did not have in college, guys around him that can create so he wont have to do as much of that!

Technically speaking the only players on the roster this team choose are Klay, Lee, and Bogut. I’m not surprised that they’re kicking the tires on pg’s, they can’t be sold on Curry from what they’ve seen so far. Although, i do like kendall marshall more than lillard. Lacob has a real opportunity to shape his team this offseason, and the best part, he already has his big man. Not only does he have his big man, he has draft picks in a meaningful draft. I think they’ll trade the pick and a player, either biedrens, wright or jefferson, for a three like batum or wilson chandler and a back up big.
