Cousins is uber-talented, but I wouldn't touch him with a 10-foot pole. What I like about NBAdraft.net is that they provide an alternative analysis to DraftExpress while having a strong historical knowledge of player comparisons. Sure, DX trumps in the detailed analysis and sources, but...

Christmas time for draft junkies. Not a lot of surprises this year on the Beasley is only 6'7" scale - but a few takeaways: - Ed Davis has a lot better size than most of us thought...he's slightly taller than Horford. But for as skinny as he is, why the high body fat? Doesn't make sense... -...

This will change, I'm sure. But as of now: 1.) John Wall 2.) Evan Turner 3.) Derrick Favors 4.) Ed Davis 5.) Wes Johnson 6.) DeMarcus Cousins Note: As an armchair GM, I wouldn't touch a guy like DeMarcus with a 10-foot pole, but damn he is very talented. From what I garner, the track record...

As far as my basketball knowledge goes back, I've learned that you never, ever trade a #1 pick. - What if Tyreke blows out his knee and doesnt' develop a jumpshot and/or better passing skills? - What if, magically, Tyreke and Wall learn to coexist and synergize? - At the very least, why trade...

Such a tough question, because as it appears now, none of these players available at 5/6 have the potential to make us much better. You hope that you get a surprise here, though... At this point, if we had the 5/6, I'd look at: 1.) Ed Davis 2.) Al-Farouq Aminu 3.) Wes Johnson 4.) Cole Aldrich...

Anyone know how the lottery tiebreaker system works? I remember we got shafted in 2007 in a three way tie, but not sure what the specifics/rules are or how the process works...

You hope that Evans either improves his jump shot or eventually defers to better-shooting teammates down the road. If he develops a jump shot, heaven help the opposing team. If he doesn't, you hope he learns to pass more...

I think Nocioni might be untradable - granted, he can still help a team, but not at that salary. With the logjam at SF and the size of his salary vs. playing time, he needs to go. But where? I have a feeling that we're stuck, and hope he's able to contribute and play hard as long as he's with...

Hope a 2011 First Rounder isn't in play - should we suck again, that draft has potential to be AWESOME at the top with Harrison Barnes and Perry Jones, two near-locks for superstardom...

At least trade Kenny Thomas for a bag of chips. For all these years, he's been clogging our cap and our roster with that terrible contract given to him by Billy King. Lest we forget, Kings Fans.

If I were New York, I'd only do this if I absolutely knew I was landing a quality Free Agent. Also like this trade as Jordan Hill will finally get the minutes (that I think) he deserves...something's got to be going on behind the scenes as he doesn't look like the bust he's being treated as...

Hope this issue doesn't get caught up in all the political bickering/maneuvering that seems to be going on right now. While I'm (emotionally) partial to KJ's side, as his efforts to get a new arena built are much visibly stronger than that of the council's (ahem) activity, I admittedly don't...

Upset, baby!

Well this is disappointing. We finally get Sergio, who proves to be a good passer but exhibits all the same problems that he had in Portland. Still a valuable role player though. Unfortunately, we made the deal for Rodriguez before the draft and DeJuan Blair fell into the 2nd round. Sure...

I say no, with immediate disappointment on what could have been. Tyrus Thomas has (and about 1.5 years from now we'll be saying "had") the talent to be absolutely great. His physical tools are off the charts. Problem is, his head is somewhere between the sewer lines and basement below the...

Can't believe it hasn't been said yet, but I'll be pretty upset if we don't trade Kenny Thomas for something. And to add that, we better get something good for him - not a bunch of Hilton Armstrongs and Rashad McCantses. Dude has been clogging our cap for 4 years!

That's one heck of a frontcourt! But as always, a few questions/objections: what would be the effect on Thompson's play, followed by the lack of range by the two starters (as mentioned), Jefferson's health, and most notably, chemistry. Regarding the latter, I think having these two as...

While I'm in the school of thought that Devin Harris is in a one-season slump (and not a TJ Ford slide into oblivion), I don't think he'd be a good fit with Tyreke. The curse/blessing of Tyreke is that he needs to be the primary ballhander in order to maximize his effectiveness. Devin Harris...

Like many here, I think Bass is a good player, but quite honestly, I don't think we should be rushing to fill our bench when the team (still) clearly needs an upgrade in starting-5 talent. Furthermore, the team really needs an interior defender with size. While Westphal has done a great job...

I think this is a fair deal - although a future 1st round draft pick from Philly would seal it for me... I think Dalembert would give us an overpaid big body off the bench - but overpaid for only this year and next year he's an expiring. I honestly don't know what he'll bring though...last...
