Indy is better off waiting until the balls are selected before moving forward. Imagine them ending up with the 4th pick with the BKN pick. Kind of a crapshoot for them really.
Wait, wut? 1st rd pick, Anderson and Bogut? So Noel's value >>> Cousins' value? Noel's character issues are worse than Cousins too, IMO.
I wonder how many all-stars these other "#1s" have played with. Westbrook hasn't taken a team anywhere on his own yet - he did it with Harden and KD or at least with KD. Harden had KD and Westbrook; he had Dwight; and we'll see where he goes this year. James has had a laundry list of all-stars. Steph - KD, Klay.
Philly PROBABLY gets the better of this deal, but Anderson's what he is. Noel could be a legit defensive force.
Yup. That's what I was saying with PG. He hasn't had nearly the help these other guys have had. PG was not only far and away the leading scorer but was either the leader or second in numerous other categories too, including rebounds. That's why I put a high value on how much he has carried the Pacers to the success they've had in recent years.
Yes. I'm not sure we can take anything back from them in a deal, but I'd love to have Tim Frazier on this squad.
C Bags wont trade for pg lol http://basketball.realgm.com/wireta...it-Long-Term-To-Team-Other-Than-Pacers-Lakers
question is whether the mavs pick is unprotected in the future. if there's still protection, they got the better end of the deal, imo. if not, we won't know for a while. noel doesn't really fit with dallas's culture, historically, so that part should be interesting. i imagine he and harrison barnes couldn't be more different off the floor.
yeah, they can keep their second rounders; i'll take frazier. lakers need another competent pg who's not a thousand years old.
