Know why they're keeping Ben? He's now the most tenured King. The pressure will overwhelm him ... and he'll contribute to the downward spiral. Oh wait...thought this was the Crazy Thoughts thread. :p

Collison, Evans and Ty can run the point with players like Richardson, Buddy, Tolliver, Temple, Bogdanovic and Skal to dish out to.

Reke is still only 27 years old if he holds up physically we can use his services without the weight of the franchise this time around.

anyone watch DC7's post practice interview.... first thing he said "if I'm still here....."

somethings going down in 2 days... he's probably good as gone...

and damn we have 7 SG's on the roster (8 if you add Bogdanovic) - 0 SF's, 1 PF who's really a third stringer.. somethings gotta change

Lakers in tank mode, they dont want to lose that top 3 pick. Williams was keeping them in games.

Replying to my own post, oh well. In the last 3 drafts that the Lakers have been in the lottery I don't believe once have they been bumped back. Currently they have the 3rd worst record, anybody willing to bet they will fall out of the top 3 and lose their pick.

I think DC is saying nobody is safe...and nobody feels comfortable right now.

Magic just took the reins. They'll get the #1 pick. You can bank on it.

Why would Philly do that? They have so many picks already and I really doubt they want to basically trade Okafor for McLemore. I could see maybe Collison, McLemore and the 2nd.

That would be OK. I never thought much of Okafor but his offensive game paired with WCS's defensive game could be a nice combo.

Now with Hield, NO's pick and a better chance of keeping our own pick, we would be young but could look reputable next season.

How so? Okafor at this point is FAR better than McLemore. Must be missing something?

The statement was meant to show that the 76ers aren't going to trade him for McLemore and a 2nd rounder. I was trying to put ourselves in their shoes and ask if we would trade Okafor for that package. I'm sure the answer would be no.

Well, I said Ben+Collison+Philly's 2nd, which I doubt they'd bite on that either. I'd consider trading one of the first rounders+McLemore though.

You'd need a rebounding defensive beast of a stretch 4 next to him if you wanted to be successful. Not sure many of those exist.
