dont look at the win column ...you look at the loss column

Well, actually insofar as that's a reasonable strategy, it's the appropriate strategy for getting the best record, rather than the worst.
The whole reason for looking at one column rather than another is that teams haven't always played the same number of games. The reason you look at the loss column for playoff teams is that playoff-contention teams are good, and the expectation is that they will win. If I'm a playoff team and I want to know how safe my lead is, I look at the loss column, which tells me how many times I can screw up (lose) and still maintain my lead. When trying to get the worst record, the whole situation is reversed, and the win column is the one to watch.
I think Evan Turner would be an IDEAL pick for us with Tyreke. Those two would complement each other very well. However, Cousins or Favors(if we have a choice I go Cousins, methinks) would be EXCELLENT consolation prizes as well.Ideally, I PRAY TO GOD that we get the 2nd Overall pick and take Evan Turner!
Honestly think that a back court of:
Tyreke Evans
Evan Turner
Donte Greene
Has the potential (and I'm VERY confident) to be the HARDEST backcourt to play against both on offense and on defense.
Casspi, Udrih and Garcia is also a very strong bench to have, but most likely one will be traded to upgrade the front court.
The front court will still be weak:
Thompson / Landry
Hawes
But I still drool at the possibility of that back court
If that does happen, I would dangle a package of:
Thompson + Landry + (one of Garcia, Udrih or Casspi) to see what is out there for our frontcourt.
EVAN TURNER PLEASE!!!!!

Capt. Factorial clarifies things...as usual.
Seriously, are you a professor or something similar? I always appreciate you explaining things I have no patience to articulate.![]()
Non-professor scientist, recklessly toeing the line between didactic and pedantic.![]()

Go Warriors! Haha.
Realistically, I'm hoping we go Aldrich. His D and rebounding is much needed. Guy is a center who actually plays like a center. Although I'd be fine swinging for the fences with one of Udoh or Whiteside.
If we are somehow blessed with a top 3 pick, I want Cousins.
I am praying we get a top 4 pick. Maybe even top 5. Lose from here on out, do what we have to do to give us the best chance at a top 5. IMO, a top 5 just about guarantee's a star player. As soon as you drop to picking between 6-10, you still get a very good player, but maybe not a star.
I really, really want either Turner, Cousins, or Favors. I don't see anyway Turner drops past the 2nd pick. But picking at 4 or 5 just about guarantees we get a pick of either Cousins or Favors. I could see either Aminu or Wesley Johnson being picked ahead of either Cousins or Favors. Maybe not, but I see either Cousins or Favors being available with the 5th pick, and both gone by the 6th. Both will be stars IMO, and both would be the best at their positions the day they step on the court for us.

I can't imagine GS giving that much power to Nelson. I mean really, why isn't their obsession with him over with by now? They have no real future with him as a coach.

or a potentially beautiful one..I certainly agree with you. But right now that whole orgainzation is in chaos. The owner is trying to sell, and I'm not sure who is running things right now. Nellie may be the smartest basketball man they have right now. And thats a scarey thought..
