Anyone with me on wanting Waiters?

[roasthawg]

Assuming MKG is gone? Or am I all alone?

 

[Dime Dropper]

I don't want him, especially not at 5. But then again, I haven't seen a lot of him. I think he's somewhat redundant on this team, and I don't think he has a good attitude from watching his interviews. Certainly not what we need on this team as far as personality goes.

 

[KingsCity]

he is actually very skilled! reminds me of marcus thornton the way he can get the ball into the hoop but with more playmaking skills for his teammates.

 

[roasthawg]

I think you are alone...

That's what I'm thinking, figured I'd check. =D

Vastly superior defender as well.

Problem with drafting Waiters is that someone on the roster has to be traded. Talent wise, I have no problem with Waiters but I don't know who to get rid of to make room for him.

Definitely have to make a trade. Thornton for a sf would be the move I'd look to make. Either that or see what you can get for IT. Waiters brings defense and an ability to get to the rim similar to Tyreke. Might not look like an ideal fit on paper but I think it could end up playing out well on the court.

I'm not completely against Waiters if MKG is off the board, but not at 5, as I'd rather trade down to pick him up.
Selecting him would require a mass roster change where we'd probably have to trade assets at a lower value due to the glut of perimeter players, and I don't know if he's really that much of an upgrade over what we currently have.

NBADraft.net updating their mock every half hour. They now moved Waiters to #4.
P.S. First casualty of the day - DX crashed.

Swapping with GS at #7 would be ideal.

Add me to the "no thank you" list.

Wow... that would qualify as a huge surprise I think.

Well....
We are almost assured that Waiters did get a guarantee.
I could almost see this, considering that Cleveland took Tristan Thompson at 4 last year.

If this is the case, and if the Bobcats take Robinson, then it means that MKG is almost certain to slip to us.

That draftnet draft has mkg going to the wiz and us taking Robinson.

 

[Heuge]

A 6'2" inch 6th man...Not at all.

 

[Gilles]

Actually, they keep Beal at #2 which means they expect a trade between Cavs and Cats since Beal is not a big priority with Cats.

 

[swisshh]

There's just too many guards on the roster to get excited about another combo guard that people talk of as being destined to be a sixth man.

 

[Gilles]

Flip floppers got their act together and moved Waiters back to #7. Now they completely change #2-#5 setting them in this order:
Robinson-Beal-MKG-Drummond, but Barnes is now moved to #8.
DX is still dead. Their rivals probably DoS-ed them.

Apparently Grant's with me, lol... more importantly is whether or not Petrie is??

TO be fair, I'm pretty sure Grant was the guy lambasting the notion of the Kings selecting a cancerous unathletic waste of space like Demarcus Cousins right before the draft while also singing the praises of Jonny Flynn the year before.
