I agree but I still want Burke.Originally Posted by PelsFan2313
I know I'm going to get flamed for this comment, but he really reminds me of CP3.
As much as people hate him for leaving, it would be nice to replace him with the closest player in the draft.
I'd put burke in tier 1 because he is the best PG in the draft, my top 5 right now is noel, mclemore, burke, smart, porter with bazz and oladipo tying at 6th

Fair enough. I wouldn't mind taking Burke if elite ceiling players like McLemore, Noel, and Smart are off the board.
In my opinion, Porter makes the most sense fitting wise with our current core of Rivers, EJ, Anderson, and Davis.
Nevertheless, Demps will probably go BPA. As he should.
"I'm not going to allow my putative owner to answer that question, this is an NBA related press conference. Paul Tagliabue and Roger Goodell have collectively sung their praises of Tom and if uh ESPN has a problem with that tell Mr. Skipper to call me at my office."
Agree in the nba u should always go BPA because u can trade, only time BPA doesnt matter is when u have 2 players graded the same, then u can kill 2 birds with 1 stone taking the BPA and filling a need, i see burke and shabazz both as this, grade them about the same and have a need for PG and SF
Phoenix, Sacramento, and Dallas are all winnable games. Phoenix is pretty much in tank mode losing their last 6 to teams like Minnesota, Washington, and Sacramento. It should be no different against the Hornets. The Kings game will be interesting as the Hornets are 2-0 against them this year. I'm sure they'll give the team a tough time in Sacramento. Dallas is 1-1 against the Hornets and playing against them in our final two games gives us a good shot at splitting those games.
I can see a 29-53 or 28-54. I hope 28 games is the most they'll win. As 29 wins makes things pretty complicated as I expect Toronto, Sacramento, and maybe Washington could be hovering around there if they decide to tank.
I think at the end of the day, we'll be somewhere around 6-8. I don't see any way we'll end up in the bottom 5 in the overall standings.
ya im really hoping monty shuts down gordon and lets him keep rehabing, take GV out so he doesnt hurt his trade value w a possible injury, and give more minutes to people like roberts, miller and aminu to evaluate them.
Man, the Cavs are in their annual tank mode. This is every year. Once they are out of it, it seems like they intentionally continue to lose. 10 straight now.
Wasn't it around this time last year that they shut down Ariza?
We are winning too many games now, when it doesn't matter playoffs wise. And we may finish with a late 10 pick... If we could still get Burke i would be ok.
The good point is we don't stablish a totally losing culture with that group.
No such thing as winning to many games.
When they are meaningless at the end of the season I think there is such a thing.
I just hate the notion of "meaningless" games. Do you think they are meaningless to Davis, Miller, Aminu, etc? No, and probably a resounding no. They want to play well, learn the NBA, grow their skills, audition for a job, etc.
They need these games, and they want to win. Fans shouldn't root for losses. It's quite simple.
Agreed, and I don't. Kind of like not picking your own team in the March Madness brackets. If they win, bonus for you because your team advanced, but if they lose then you got it right
Wherehappens.
Losing out while providing a fight is good enough for me (the ticket holder).
If you Jimmer it, they will come.
Good enough for me too, but I'm not going to blatantly root for losses and/or suggest benching Davis to lose. Davis needs all the minutes he can get.
Does he need the minuets? Sure. But what if he gets injured in the process and we lose him to start next season? That would suck. Give him fewer minuets in these meaningless games.
So we are playing the what-if game now... okay cool. Yes, that would suck, but if we are going that route we should just sign d-leaguers to play our games. Gordon, vasquez, anderson, and davis should be resting if we played that game. Davis needs the minutes more than anyone on the team.
A player is just as likely to get hurt playing 10 minutes than 25+. You can always get hurt, it's sports.
I know where you are coming from and I am not suggesting anyone sit out as an injury concern, but I'm not sure the math adds up here.....
"we might make dollars, but we don't necessarily make sense"
"always be sincere....whether you mean it or not"
IMO, fans should want the team to get better. It's quite simple. What is meaningful to those guys is how they play, not whether the team won or loss. I would not try and throw a game, but as a fan, at this late stage of the season I would prefer they just play well and lose. I realize they cannot nor should not be able to control that, but that is my preference with less than 10 games to go and out of the playoffs.
I said just as likely, not MORE likely. An injury can come at any time.
That's exactly my point of view, with the few games remaining to the end of the season, and all playoffs chances being down since many time ago I would want the team to keep the games close till the end, but lose them.
Next year we start from zero again.
Couldn't agree more, especially with the bolded part.
hornets in sole possession of 6th worst, kings at 7th worst, Detroit at 5th worst.
