Yeah, but he is not near the defender than Singleton is, and Faried would own the boards in that offense. Probably close to 15 a game...and yes, I honestly think that.

David Kahn is going to trade Minnesota's 20th pick for 3 undraftable power forwards and a ham sandwich. But it'll be a pretty good ham sandwich.

Where would singleton play on NY? Not at 3 or 4 so why not take a defensive 2?

Its Leonard for Hill. Pacers may have also given up the 42nd pick. I dont like that at all. Ugh. Indy is always trying to bring in guys from the city for fans (McRoberts among others). Only ones worth it right now are EJ and Oden when they are FAs.

He could play anywhere. But he 5. I mean, look at their centers lol. Is Shumpert gonna start over Fields??? Doubt it. I know that Singleton would start over whoever they trotted out at the 5 last year though.

Looks like it's JUST Leonard.


And if I'm a Spurs fan, I'm pissed.

I'm sure they thought about it but if they have to start Singleton at the 5 they're in trouble.

I really dont see how this makes much sense for either team, unless they move Hill to a 2. In which case its a little better. Strange trade to say the least. I KNOW the fact Hill is from Indy played a huge role lol.

That could be true. But Id rather start a guy who will start instead of a guy who will be a back-up, unless they plan on upgrading some other way. They are in trouble if Sheldon Williams, Jeffries, or Turiaf are still out there starting as well.

The best bet would have been to tell Amare to man the fuck up and play the 5.

Michael Jordan is a terrible owner. I have no idea what they are doing or what direction they are going

This is the one thing I hate about the NBA draft...

Basically all of the Euro/International guys are guys NO ONE has ever heard of. Kind of wish American TV would show a little more International ball....

That was strange.

Whoever gets Kenneth Faried at this point is getting a steal, imo. Probably the best pure rebounder I have seen in a loooooong time.
