    One thing is for sure, it sure is nice to have options.

    I'm sure Mitch and his staff will make solid choices. Hopefully the desire to win now doesn't make them blow any of their options.

    I don't think we can go wrong this year, but I'll be personally surprised if it goes as easily as predicted.

    Mitch will take the best player available. He proved that last season. Doesn't matter what ESPN thinks. If Ingram is the best player on the board and there is nothing I've seen to indicate otherwise then he'll be a Los Angeles Laker.

    No worries brother, I don't take anything too serious.

    This is all exciting to have options. Not everyone will agree on the best approach, so someone will be in the minority.

    It would be fun if I turned out to be right, but there are much better basketball minds on here. I'm quite enjoying my theory though, and I really do want David Lee next year.

    I think Nance is gone in trade to C Bags, and I want the Memphis pick they own. I see major changes coming.

    I'm ok being in the minority. It would be like betting on the Raptors to beat Cleveland. Unlikely, Glorious in the end!

    ^Us helping the Greens with Nance? Uck... You know they won't give us a look if we came to them. Screw that organization.

    Depends how bad they want the #2 pick. I was really hoping they'd get the 4th instead of the 3rd pick though.

    I do see Bass potentially going back to them and us getting David Lee. I don't think my initial scenario plays out like expected, but they do have a slew of draft picks.

    So we'd be trading Nance Jr for Lee in this scenario? A younger, more athletic, continually improving player making much less money for a guy who averages like 2 more points and 1 more board? Yeah that's a no thanks for me unless we think Nance's knee is gonna explode or something.

    No, if you ready my initial Big Balls offseason trade scenario, Memphis #1 pick in a couple of years when I think they blow things up and Jae Crowder were involved too.
