    Just a thought.... If we are truly going to give up this year...

    What if we traded martin and scola for bosh? haha

    Heat would own the world kevin martin would score 85 points a night and we would get our big lol...were going to loose anyway might as well get something out of it.

    We should have two first rd picks. New Jersey gets a 1st from us only if we out of the top 14 picks ( not going to happen) and if New York doesnt get a top 5 pick we get there 1st. I say package the 2 1st and go get a Stud no matter the postion

    I agree and the stud to target should be Michael Kidd-Gilchrist the guy is a born leader and a winner that plays at an elite level at both ends of the floor. I think our pick will fall between 11-13 and NY pick between 14-17. Those two picks should allow us to move up to 6th or 7th around where he's ranked. I believe he and Lowry could do great things leading this team.

    A dream scenario for Draft night would be to draft Bradley Beal and Meyers Leonard using both of our first round picks. Both feel a position of need specially Bradley Beal, given the current uncertainty of C.Lee's and Martin's future with the Rockets. One is a upcoming FA the other may be traded... ..

    In addition with Motiejunas coming over next year we would have young talented core with whom we can truly start to build around.

    Lowry/ Beal/ Morris/ Motiejunas/ Leonard

    The way Houston's playing they may end up with only one 1st rd pick and I think the best case scenario would be to draft Leonard another 7ft guy to pair with Motiejunas.

    Trade up for Drummond, whatever that cost us.
    Two 1st rounder+Dragic or Patterson or Morris or any young talent on the roster would be enough to get him.

    No it is tough to trade up we might even have to give up lowry. Remember Drummond has Amare Stoudimre type Potential.
