Who ever is 100% at this point in the season? What, is he planning on being 100% for our playoff run later this season?

The guys injuries will derail his career before he can even sniff all star status.

Well being at 100 percent at the start of the season u wear down, not being at 100 percent u wear down even more, no one is 100 percent but he already in the hole.

He is probably ahead of the curve seeing as how he has hardly played any games in his career. He has missed like 2 entire seasons in his career.

Well atleast next year we will finally know by the trade deadline if he is part of our future or not, best case he balls out and we keep him or trade him for a good player, worse case isnt any worse than it is now and we trade him for a decent player.

I don't see Rivers as a starting SG in this league. More of a combo guard off the bench or best case scenario, a starting point guard.

Not sure what ticket prices had to do with it, but i believe they meant they have long term plans for Gordon HERE.

Dell is a beast, cant wait to see what he puts together in free agency, the draft, and trades.

Is it odd that the last 3 games we have won Eric Gordon hasn't been involved ?

We play 3 bad-mediocre teams in those wins.

Wait, WOW. This is kind of big. No pun intended.

I expect us to take either Smart or Burke with our 1st round pick, unless it lands in the top 3. Anyone who has seen both play a good bit, which would be a better fit here?

Burke. Smart will be a great player but we really need someone that has a proven 3 point shot and that's TB.

But either would be fine with me honestly.

He said address, PG, he didnt say draft one, he could address it with rivers

Or FA, of course. I just think that the draft is the way to go with Smart or Burke. Less money, good timing with the rebuild, and I think that Burke is NBA ready, he's not nearly the project that Rivers is.

What PG is realistically available in FA? Please don't say CP, or Jennings. Cuban is gonna give Jennings the max, and it will be up to Milwaukee if they want to match that awful overpaid contract.

Regarding Burke, are the style of play comparisons to CP right? Does Burke's game resemble CP's? If so, I'd take him top 3 over Smart who is more of a combo guard right? Is Smart style of play similar to Gordon's or maybe River's? I haven't watched any college bball this year, so sorry for all the questions.

NOLa.

I don't like either of those three listed above unfortunately. The only one I would be a little excited about would be Teague.

Ya I also like teague a lot, fast, athletic, good passer, good scorer, but i would not overpay for him, would rather just play rivers and draft BPA
