As it stands, if we hold at six or drop down to eight for some reason, I'm okay with it. There's a lot of talent in this draft, and I'm confident that most players in the top 10 (as it stands on DX right now) can help us. Granted, I'm not a WCS, Hezonja or Kaminsky fan and I think these...

Actually, I would like to see someone hired in the FO (should PDA leave) that is an expert in contract negotiation and all things legalese. IMO, in addition to strong talent evaluation, this skill is what gave Sam Presti the upper hand when rebuilding the Thunder - he made trades, acquisitions...

*drops mic* Excellent post (and unfortunately) have to agree with you on all fronts here. Of course, a lot of us are holding out hope here, but it's going to take some serious creativity to turn our current set of assets into something that gets us better.

Quick, before he can pick another Diogu, O'Bryant or Randolph!

Porzingis seems to scare a lot of us, and you can count me in that group. Sure, I love the idea of placing an athletic, floor spacing and shot blocking 4 next to DeMarcus, but I doubt Porzingis will fulfill that dream based on the red flags I'm reading about. In short, he reminds me of Jan...

Winslow is an intriguing wing who brings a lot of things we need: defense, 3-pt shooting, and passing. That being said, I'm not certain he's a top-5 player and more of a 3-and-D type roleplayer - his scoring capabilities are limited and some scouts think his 3-pt shooting could be a fluke. If...

Wouldn't touch him with a ten foot pole. And this is coming from an Arizona fan who's been rooting for D-Will all along. He just can't play NBA basketball, unfortunately.

Biggest bright spot was getting a taste of winning basketball. So utterly unfamiliar given our nine year drought. The thought actually crossed my mind (albeit with sincere doubt) of planning for playoff games; including buying plane tickets, splurging on seats, and spending some quality time...

Given these front office personnel changes and what a disaster this season has been, it'd be prudent of ownership to release PDA and Mullin this summer, if not sooner. With history as a guide, I fear the moves they could potentially make in order to save their jobs, damaging the franchise long...

What needs to be done to build a winning team is (in order) address long-term weaknesses in passing, spacing/shooting, defense and basketball IQ through personnel changes and sticking with a good coach (like Karl). 1.) Passing - this needs to be addressed through personnel upgrades and changes...

On that note, let's do more trades with the Wizards! Back on topic, agree it's either 1.) Monarchs 2.) MLS 3.) Sports Radio Hype BS. Probably #3.

I'd like to keep the pick. It's an asset. An asset that we don't necessarily need to use for a new player, but one that we can use in a trade. Outside of Rudy, DMC and Collison, we don't have much in terms of assets that other teams would want. If the team could find a way to play well and keep...

Looking at DraftExpress's recent supercut of Emmanuel Mudiay's season in China, I'm a bit more sold on him as a prospect (considering I never was a believer to begin with). I see a rich man's Tyreke Evans as his ceiling: better athlete, passer and defender w/ similar issues re: jumpshot/range...

I think we tried to do this a few times during the late aughts but nothing came to fruition. Unfortunately I'm in NY now, but consider my contribution "not going to the Knicks game on Monday":

Just please don't hire VDN. Please.

It's funny we're revisiting this thread but sour times make you wonder "what if". With the utmost respect for his basketball acumen, I'm in the camp that Geoff Petrie is a stellar GM of a bygone era, especially when it comes to revitalizing a small-market franchise with a history of losing...

From afar, I'm quite impressed by the way Chris, Phil and the team are handling this. They're in a spot that sales people fear the most: selling a product that's crap and doesn't look to be getting any better and just raised prices. But the way they're selling it is honest, genuine, and shows...

What is your realistic timeframe to reach the playoffs?

Sadly, I was at this game...it was even worse live as it was on TV, you could really see it in the team's body language (and Boogie screaming at Stauskas after he missed a wild pass). They never got into their offense, played lottery-era Kings defense, and I nearly walked out at the end of the...
