We could possibly take McCollum with the 10th pick and trade him to the kings for Marcus Thornton. I would personally prefer if we kept McCollum because he can give us scoring off the bench and he will bring that maturity of having been in college for 4 years.

Pat Riley said this: You get rebounds, you win rings!!! More often than not, the team who wins the battle on the boards will win the game. Rebounds on both ends are extremely important.

Sanders was my pick for a spot on the all defensive teams because he had a great year in terms of Shot blocking and defensive rebounding. And he was in the conversation for most improved at one stage. He is still undersized. He would be a defensive version of JJ Hickson. And other than the fact ...

I completely agree. Pierce would bring a culture change. And we as a team really needed someone to help our young players through the tough times. Jeffires and Pavlovic were veterans who didn't see much court time and from what I saw didn't really bring that helping hand to our young guys. Pierc...

Joakim Noah has had his injury troubles. His crazy game and high energy make him a constant injury threat. What separates him from Oden and Rose (I had to just mention him) is his willingness to play the way he loves.
I think he would much better if he would adapt his...

To go another season with so many rookies is not a good idea. We need a couple of vets and atleast one young bench scorer. If we want a Center, go after Hawes from Philly and Dorrell wright can be signed as a free agent. We can trade our 2nd round picks to Boston for one of their bench guys. The...

I think we could get a good backcourt combo in MCW and Lillard. Both can handle the ball and have the size to guard their matchups on the defensive end. I think if MCW can be a reliable mid range shooter and a dependable free throw shooter (provided he gets there more than Wes) we could have a d...

So we got a different Nate. I honestly am a little skeptical because Tibbets doesn't have much nba experience, nor a reputation as for coaching defense. But he was great working with young talented players and I think he could do some great work with our young players.
And ...

Haha, my bad. Must learn to proof read these comments. I meant to say my name is not Caitlin. It's Cailin...
But that was just to clarify.
I did some reading on Coach Tibbets and imcquite impressed. He really had a good hand with young players and was key in helping ...

Well, regardless of who owns them next year, I feel that they would be looking to start fresh. If they dont want to lose Thornton they may decide not to match an offer made for Tyreke Evans. Evans is a versatile player who can play both guard spots and has the ability to run an offense when Lill...
