    MPJ was an all star? I guess everyone missed that part. The NBA must have forgotten as well when everyone was named

    No. Actually, you don't. Because OKC gets it if it isn't a top 4 pick.

    They are not going to give up him up even for the number one pick.

    The Chris Paul/Russell Westbrook trade was already the worst in NBA history

    Giving away a Top 5 pick because of it would be next level

    Miami are not a lock to make the playoffs. Currently #7 in the east. 7-10 will have to compete in play-in tournament to make it to the playoffs.

    Yeah they pretty much are. If you don’t think so I’ll be more than happy to wager Miami making the playoffs. That goes for anyone else

    I was saying, if we don't get a top 4 pick, then of course we'll get a pick in the late teens. But if we end up with that pick what do we do?

    At that point, we'll have 3 picks in the middle to later part of the draft. So what's Plan B? Chance of drafting a Star is slim.

    1) So, do you trade the picks for a young star who's due a big contract?

    2) Try and trade up?

    3) Use all 3 and have a young middling roster?

    All star caliber and upcoming superstar. By the time you wait until idiot nba fans vote him in to let you know you already missed the boat to trade for him. Like we already have.

    i am not betting on Miami making the playoffs or not.

    Just stating the facts that is not a shoe-in to make the playoffs as you made it to be given the new rules.

    Let us know when he at the very least becomes Denver’s best player before claiming folks are idiots for not thinking he’s some superstar. Bc right now they’re still correct

    if he’s a true star he won’t need the fans. The coaches will do it for him. Which still hasn’t happened

    I’m well aware of the situation. That still doesn’t make it any different in my mind. They’ll be in the playoffs one way or another. It doesn’t matter which route

    I didn't mean the #9 pick as a definite, I meant whatever pick we end up with in general. Nothing is DEFENITIVE until the lottery.

    Go back and read! I said, if we don't get a top four pick, what's Plan B should we receive #8, #9 or WHATEVER pick?
