You Miss Understand.

Just one pick with a Top 4 protection this year, and just Top 1 protected next year (which is not quite unprotected).  Not two different picks.  Two different protection levels, if it doesn't transfer this year.


Our vets -- Courtly, Lance, Kant -- are redundant/unnecessary.
It is good to have some vets on a young team.
Pa Bev = a PG, a position of need.
Likely he'd start for 2 or 3 years as a stopgap.
Or if someone beats him out, he'd be a top backup PG.
If we're committed to Tim then a defensive presence at PG is a good idea.  Could just stick with the franc development plan.

Courtly right now is our 4th SG.
He's a very obvious trade candidate.
Last year, Knix were trying to get a 1st round pick for him.
This year, it's probably best to get a 2nd round pick, or a role player, just to free up the $12M cap space.  And keep things clear for Trier/Datsun.

Lance is all right.  But Vonleh is younger and better.  And Knox needs reps. 

I'm fine with Kant sticking through the season, as I expect.  But he's Disgruntled Goatish.  Mitch and Chop Suey aren't really ready.  KZ not back yet, and might just not play more than 15 games to 20 (if any).

Really, I'd keep Kant, doubt Lance will attract any useful asset, and so would be working hard to move Courtly for anything (except a longer contract).  Not at all against vets.  Not in favor of moving all our vets.  Pa Bev would be a welcome addition.


I wouldn't do Mud & Vonleh for Fultz.  Mud might be better than Fultz.  Mud & a 2nd rounder is all I'd go.  I'd like to Buy Low on Fultz.

If Bo had been GM this conversation wouldn't be necessary, as we'd already have Rubio.  He was available.  And Phil failed to pull the trigger.  I heard there was mutiny in his shorts that he had to attend to which distracted him until the deadline passed.

I don’t think I miss understood. Maybe you didn’t mean what you actually wrote.

Oh, and top 1 protection? Gimme a break! Might as well leave the pick unprotected.

So leave it unprotected the 2nd year.
If we have KZ and Simmons it wouldn't matter.

All you'd really want to do is protect it in this our tank year so you don't lose out on a Top 3 or 4 talent.

We should not take on any PG that is offensively challenged - who cannot get shots for himself AND his teammates.  (You can decide where Beverly falls with this parameter)

Dealing Mudiay now would be asinine.

Allow him to show ANY and ALL glimmers of what he may be if we re-sign him.

Re:  Celts

Brown and Rozier getting just a combined 41 minutes is criminal.  Brad has to stop it with the Gordie love.

ORL sure tried to choke away the game in the last 2 mins.
Lotta blunders.

ORL often plays Big: Vucevic, Gordon, Isaac at the same time

Knick game starting now -- MLK matinee.

Protect it top 10.......

If Knox is so so and Frank a NADA then we need that one extra young guy who pay POP.  Hachimura in that grouping.

Dotson earned it.

Lance?  I guess the plan all along was to get him healthy and use his defense and leadership

Fiz is trying to win.

This should scare you, if just a little :)

Franc & Knox are very young.
Both show promise.
Knox has a pretty high ceiling.
Both still learning.

Franc playing well early this game.
Nice 1st half for Franc.
Knox too.

What if he doesn't sign here? 
Then we missed an opportunity to add to the cupboard.

We need to amass assets for a future deal.

Poor sport.

He didn't even get fouled.... then takes his anger out on Kornet.... could've ended his career.
