I have a feeling you're going to see many of the same teams in next years lottery. If the Celtics can move Rondo then they definitely get in there too. Like the panel was saying last night I think Boston is still a little "too good" with Rondo to be bad enough to have a great shot at Wiggins.

But yes next year's draft is going to be crazy.

LOL @ the thought of Pierce/KG listening to JKidd.

I have no idea what the Nets are thinking. Not even a year ago Kidd and the Knicks were at war with the Celtics and now you think you're going to get two of the most veteran players in the league to play under Jason Kidd?? How long is it going to take before honey nut cheerios comes up? What a disaster.

But should be entertaining I'll give them that.

How do you all feel about Oladipo being selected by Orlando? I mean, I was hoping for McLemore because I'm a KU homer and all but I hope Oladipo pans out.

All of these teams want Wiggins. Might as well draft a role player who is a sure thing as opposed to a superstar potential in McLemore.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 06-28-2013, 10:03 AM

McLemore does not have superstar potential. That's rank homerism. He's not a good enough ball handler or defender, and although he is a good shooter, because of the first deficiency it will be difficult for him to create his own shot.

He'll probably settle in as a 14-18 PPG scorer. A very nice player who might make an all-star team in his best years, but never a superstar.

Agreed. And I like Kansas. I was more concerned at how he shied away from big shots. In close games, he often completely disappeared and it was sometimes good shots he was passing up.

'Hamas' Jenkins · 06-28-2013, 10:30 AM

McLemore is likely the third-fourth best player on a title team. A guy who can get hot and carry a team for a quarter at a time, but never a primary option.

**The Bad Guy** · 06-28-2013, 10:34 AM

I have no idea why the Kings wanted him. The Kings need a wing player in the worst way.

Thorton, Evans, Isiah Thomas, McLemore, Jimmer. That's 4 out of the 5 backcourt players who have a shoot first mentality.

I hope he goes to Houston or Dallas.

The stupid ****ing billboards, and the wooing of a guy who's on the Amanda Byrnes scale of bi-polar makes me sick.

Because they're the Kings. Stupid teams make stupid decisions.

Gilbert's desire to get bounced as a 7 seed and lose a chance for a high lottery pick in a great draft had them take Bennett over Noel.

A lot of NBA teams are just dumb.

The Celtics aren't moving Rondo, Ainge stated that very clearly last night. They are building the team around him and in the next 5 drafts they will have 9 First Round picks.

I think they will be competitive but I don't expect them to win 35 games either.

The Kings are the Chiefs of the NBA. Stupid franchise for the most part.

There's a good chance that seven or eight of those first rounders are in the latter half of the round where you're looking for a guy who can fit a specific role, maybe as an energy guy or a 7th or 8th man.

If Ainge is serious about rebuilding the Celtics he needs to sit Rondo next year.

Kobe is going to sit out the year. Lakers some how win the lottery and get Wiggins. That's my prediction for the year.
