Don't forget, too, that Gilchrist had Teague as a PG last year. Teague was a terrific game manager and an incredible athlete, but he wasn't about to open anything up for his teammates they way Kyrie does.

^ So many options. I trust our guys. Really hoping they don't screw it up.

I'm not overly concerned with who they take at #4, but I would like to see them move up from #24 to get one of Terrence Ross, Quincy Miller or Arnett Moultrie.

I wouldn't mind the Portland trade idea provided MKG and Beal are off the board. There's really only 3 players worth a damn in this draft to me and I have a fear they might be taken 1, 2, and 3.

Don't need MKG with LBJ coming back in a couple years.

Just heard that Sullys dad (wasnt told to me) has no resigned to believing Sullys best shot at the top 10 is @9 with Detroit.


I think he's going to come in to the league with a chip on his shoulder and perform very well. I actually wouldnt be against us moving up a few spots from 24 to take him if he falls that far. Would be a nice change of pace when TT goes out

He was not invited to the draft, fwiw.

^^^

I saw that, that's what I'm talking about. He's going to drop because of being "red flagged".

I still whoever gets him from 17-24 is going to get a steal (if he falls that far)

I also like lamb from Kentucky at 24 possibly. He can shoot very very well

I really hope that's not true. AV is good, but he's often injured and approaching a declining age. His contract also gets bigger.

Love andy, but I'd do that deal in a second.

There are rumors that the Cavs are in love with Beal. If they want him they will probably have to use #24 to grab him. This would probably make it tough to make a deal with GSW because the warriors would want that pick.

If the Varejao rumors are true, you gotta pull the trigger imo.

I would take MKG at #4 then use #7 to grab Lamb.

The Cavs offered Andy and 24th for 7th and we're declined

Don't understand the love affair with Varejao. He's a good defender sure, but the Cavs are building their window and Varejao will be too old by the time they hit it.

That makes more sense than the Cavs turning it down.

All the reports I've read say the Cavs aren't willing to part w/ Varejao and 24 for 7. Who is saying the Warriors declined that offer?

Thoughts on signing Roy Hibbert? Highly doubt it happens, but I think it would be great.

Obv Hibbert would be awesome, its a pipe dream though.

GS would be fucking stupid to take that deal.

David Aldridge I thought, would have to dig through almost 100 pages on RCF to be sure though
