Brandon Knight(Pistons)#8
Kemba Walker(Bobcats) #9
Markief Morris(Suns)#13
Kawhi Leonard(Spurs)#15

Griffin and either Irving or Rubio on the same team will be very fun to watch.

Rondo to the Lakers, giving up Pau.

NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO, NO.

pau is only going to get worse, while rondo will keep getting better

....It would come as little surprise if Durant won multiple MVP awards and multiple NBA titles, as his team is built with an excellent blend of youth and role players with good seasons left in their tank. Durant also set a new trend by signing his max deal for the full amount of years available. He's a terrific teammate and is as coachable a player as there is in the league. Similar to: Grant Hill

Despite playing sparingly at Duke following an injury, Cleveland drafted Irving first overall this past June. Irving has quickly served notice he will be a force among point guards, similar to Rose and Westbrook. Powerful, quick and more skilled than either of those two players at age 20, Irving has helped lift Cleveland from the depths of the NBA to a potential playoff team this season.

He's one of the few guards in the league who can finish 60 percent of his rim shots, make 40 percent of his 3s and be a 50-percent shooter from 10-15 feet. Irving's PER is better than 22, putting him at No. 5 overall for point guards behind Chris Paul, Steve Nash, Rose and Westbrook. He's having a better rookie season than any guard on this list and better than LeBron James had in Cleveland (18.3) during his rookie year. He still can get a lot better on defense and in his overall game, suggesting multiple All-Star appearances and perhaps some league MVP potential. Similar to: Deron Williams

He has a competitive nature with excellent ball-handling skills and loves the no-look pass. Rubio plays with tremendous poise for a young player. Rubio penetrates defenses, creates openings for himself and makes his teammates better. He is averaging 11.4 ppg, 4.7 rpg and 8.9 apg in 34.8 minutes per game. However, he must reduce his turnovers, of which he is averaging 3.1 per game. And his two biggest question marks are his ability to defend elite point guards and his shooting ability, currently at just 39 percent from the field

I think Monroe is a little high (although he's very solid and even better than I thought he'd be), and Gallo, Curry, Cousins, and Kyrie could all be moved up a spot or 2.

hoops23;1080680 wrote:Agree. Pau is ass. Lakers get killed by quick PG's, which would instantly improve if they got Rondo.

Not real sure why Boston is hell bent on giving up Rondo though, he's only 25...
