McLemore has hired Rival Sports Group to manage him. Has been working out in LA with Pooh Richardson.

Credit Shabazz Muhammad for participating in all parts of the NBA Draft combine. He isn't shying away from the competition.

Something I really like about Bazz. He's got the knack of a competitor. If we slip to #6 like I think we will, I'm starting to lean very heavily towards grabbing him.

Conversely, if he has a great workout and shoots up the draft boards, he could push someone else like Burke or Porter down to us even if we do wind up #6.

Yeah Bazz's competitiveness is great

I'm a little disappointed McCollum is sitting out the drills. I really wanted to see where he is in his rehab. He's supposedly 100% and it could have really help his stock.

I'm loving the fact that Muhammad is coming in with a chip on his shoulder.That's what I like to see from a prospect of his caliber.

Mcollum is my guy, he will be a top 6 pick. Last summer he was dominating every summer camp and right now he is the best player in this draft along with Burke ( he doesnt have the potential of mclemore or bennett but he is a better player right now). IMO Mcollum is a lock for ROY and he is a is a better version of Damian Lillard.

cant wait to see burke, otto, and bazz participate in the athletic portion of the draft, plus props to bazz on being the insane competitor he is, i still see him, as a paul pierce and thinkhe will be a 20 point 5 rebound guy in the league

Agreed. His upside more than makes up for the off the court shenanigans we've been exposed to.

If we can trade Gordon and come away with Muhammad and Burke I'll be thrilled. I think he can play the two where his length, size and strength will give him an advantage for day one. I think he has enough lateral quickness to guard the position. With a PG like Trey controlling the team it'll help Shabazz focus on what he loves to do score.

We can draft our SF of the future next year. I would even gamble on DeAndre Jordan. The Clips more than will look to move him for salary purposes. With Gordon gone we'll have the cap space.

Burke/Vasquez
Muhammad/Rivers
2014 pick/Miller
Davis/Anderson
Jordan/Lopez or Lopez/Jordan

Good young core and it allows us flexibility to bring in a guy here or there if somebody doesn't work out. Most importantly the we have cap space to sign our on young players to extensions when it's time.

Maybe you over looked the trade Gordon part. We may have to take back some salary but with Gordon gone we'll have plenty.

No I didn't overlook that part, but with what team do you think we can trade? Any scenario case?

I could see the T'Wolves as potential trade partners. They have a short shelf life with Love.

I would love that, and Bazz OR Oladipo could drop. The last ESPN lotto mock I did had us taking CJ Mac at 6 and the TWolves taking Oladipo with Bazz going to Portland right behind them.

I would not mind it so much, but i prefer the combo Burke and Oladipo.
And it would not be enough in return for Gordon depending in what other player they add.
Anyway i don't think we will see many changes this offseason.

No. A fifth or sixth ain't the worst that'll happen either. Can come away with someone pretty good there.

I really like Oladipo as well and would prefer him over Muhammad however that could require another top 6 pick as opposed to something in the range of 8-10.

I would gladly trade Gordon for Oladipo. If the Suns are still interested in EJ and are willing to do a draft and trade (D&T) I'd be thrilled. I think Oladipo can be a better player overall. When you consider the health issues and his opted out clause in two years for me that's excellent value for EJ.

On the little season recap on the right, it says the Pelicans went 38-44... Where did they even get that number from?

They asked him why he chose to participate, and he said whether he's picked in the lottery or the 2nd round, he's here to compete and he's not running from anybody. Said he thinks the attribute he has that will translate best is his physicality.

That's not true. Don't buy into the "weak lottery" ESPN mantra. There are plenty of players at 4-7 who would be great to have. Dipo, CJ, Bazz, Burke may drop, Porter may drop, etc.

Rudy Gobert dominated:

@DraftExpress: No one can score on Rudy Gobert inside the paint. Block, deflections, steals. Changing everything around the rim. #nbacombine

Attachment 4913

Yeah...I am all aboard the Rudy Gobert pain train. Dude would be a very, very interesting pair with AD.

Adams is going to be a steal... I cant believe that rat ******* entered this draft. How dare he...

I agree I wouldn't mind trading back into the 1st for the kid. Despite still being raw he's has real NBA skill already. He reminds me of a more athletic Nikola Vucevic.

I felt the same way about Drummond last year albeit Drummond is the superior player. I cant believe Drummond fell to 9... Its insanity.

Hard to beat unreal size and length. If he were more skilled, I'd be all in.

I've been on his train for a while. If we could buy a pick to grab him in the late 20s I'd be happy.

Funny how a year ago I didnt even think that'd be possible.
