    I means it's okay to believe different things. Harmonious agreement is a naive objective when discussing subjective matters and would defeat the purpose of a fan forum site like this.

    Unfortunately the Pelicans will be lambs to the slaughter against GS.

    IMO I don't think the rockets could move up in that 2nd tier 4-7 picks only giving up DMO/14th and 31st.

    would much rather give up tones than Dmo honestly...but i like the idea of moving up and snagging a top pg or getting that backup C that could Add rim protection

    How about just draft a player that can hit FTs and not turn the ball over. Or seeing that we put up a million 3s, maybe draft a player that can you know, make them at a decent clip :grin:

    On what basis?

    If I was a Pels fan I'd be really upset with the league now.

    Perfect pick for us....Elite P&R player, serviceable from day one, very smart basketball player, his lack of defense scares me but i feel he can improve just because of his basketball IQ...id love this pick

    A 3 big rotation of Dwight, DMo, Kaminsky is championship worthy. All the parts you need. Size, length, defense, rebounding, finishing, post game, and floor spacing. Throw in Smoove as your 4th big. That's a formidable foursome.

    HUGE! but they need to beat the blazers, and they couldn't beat the pacers. here's hoping! 14 would be WAY better than 18. although they don't seem far apart, its usually a different tier of players.

    At 14 there may be better options out there. But if it's 18 or we even trade back to like the mid-20's, Frank the Tank would be a great fit next to Dwight. Actually I'm liking the idea more and more.

    Well, Aldridge and Afflalo are supposedly going to sit out the game.
