    People writing BS stories like this, should be fired on the spot. Let's trade Ingram for the mid 20 pick while we're at it...

    D'Angelo is not going anywhere.

    I get that people are dissapointing he hasn't played at the level some expected with the #2 overall pick and that type of commitment.

    His numbers and his overall production still improved and overall as a player he's getting better and there's still promise and hope that he can develop into an All Star.

    You add some more talent around him like a Lonzo Ball and then Paul George comes in next year let's see how the kid fares before giving up on him.

    I could understand a rumor where we traded Russell for 5/10 or something, but Russell for 8-12?

    It was Ramona Shelburne who said we were trying to get a second lottery pick and that teams were asking about Randle and Russell. She said the talks never got far. If that's "dangling" Russell then sure... whatever Ford.

    Maybe I could see that, too, Real. Trading a 20 year old starter for a guy about his age with less experience and no greater likelihood of stardom is stupid.

    Poor Chad Ford. Prostituting himself by saying whatever he can think of that will get page views. Sweet, sweet page views.

    I'll be honest, I plain don't like Duke players, Ingram was a major exception for me. They rarely produce stars, they produce a lot of guys you'd like to punch. Deng got added to that list this season for me. Oh and Kelly was supposed to be a "shooter" too.

    I liked Grant Hill. :D

    Kennard is definitely punchable, but he apparently has completely blown people away in workouts. When I watched him play I felt like he could be there at #28 because I'm not positive he's an NBA athlete in functional situations. Check out this workout though:



    There were apparently dozens of scouts and GMs there watching and he blew everyone away.

    He's shorter, less athletic, has a shorter reach, and plays nothing like Hayward. Where did you even make this connection? Their skin color?
