Based on nothing, just saying.

This draft will be very fun.

That would be amazing :hihi:

@FletcherMackel: REPORT don't be surprised if Pelicans acquire 13th pk from Mavs, select Giannis Adetokunbo. NOLA also gets Shawn Marion, send Mavs future pk

Nobody is going to beat that rumored deal from the Cavs.

Fletcher has been harping for this exact deal to occur for months...

Sounds like he's just tooting his own horn at this point.

Bledsoe/Rivers
Oladipo/FA
Brewer/Giannis
Davis/Anderson
Lopez/Smith

A guy can dream, right?

I seriously doubt Giannis would come over this year.

I wouldn't even want him to come over now....but if this happens would we still be able to do something in FA?

His money doesn't count until he comes over, if certain procedures are followed (a letter, essentially).

I would take McLemore all day long over Oladipo, but I could see why people love what Oladipo brings. I think both are just touching the surface of what they can truly become. McLemore reminds me of JR Smith, but not a head case or as assertive. The guy can shoot 3s and give you the slashing highlight dunks that we as fans love. Victor Oladipo reminds me of Tony Allen and its almost unreal how a like they are IMO. He will give you a non-stop motor and just aggravate the hell out of who he is guarding that they almost give up. Now if he can give you scoring to go along with his defensive potential then watch out, but right now that's not a for sure outcome. I could see why Dell wouldn't like him cause he is short for the position and we already have a short 2 guard on the roster. I think with time McLemore can gain that killer instinct that he is missing, but is it such a bad thing. If the only weakness he has is that he doesn't want to take over games than I can live with that. I would much rather like someone like him that sounds like a great team player. I think if he goes to a team that will count on him to be the main option out the gate, then he may never live up to expectations. I think the reason most like myself want him more than any other, is because we have never had a shooting guard with those qualities. I was so excited when we drafted JR Smith, but we all know how that turned out.

I meant with Marion's contract if would still any money left to do something?

These "reporters" are just trying to get clicks and get their name out there for their own careers. Otherwise they would do their due diligence, and use their own experience before blogging out every "source" nugget they come across. Some of this is even pushed by these reporters own bias towards certain players, like last year with the T-P trying to push the crap out of Tyler Zeller for that 10th pick, who ended up going 17th.
