    Eother way hes a very good defender and best rebounder in league that teams have to account for in the P&R. He'll get putbacks. Has chance to improve at posting up eith his athleticism.

    Hes a much better version of Chandler.

When he hits the pine, it improves to 101.7 points per 100 possessions, according to NBA.com. That's not good news, especially considering that his backup is Spencer Hawes. While the Clippers' defense gets stingier when Jordan leaves the floor, just about every DPOY candidate has seen the opposite effect on their team's bottom line."

    There is a quite a few other damning revelations in that piece in regards to DAJ's defense. I think he can be a top tier defensive player, but I am not sure his production matches up to that potential yet.

    Kaminsky not looking good so far today. Guy makes McGary look athletic.

    Nice bench player.

    Great...to do what exactly? Miss the playoffs?

    You should not be making moves to get yourself potentially in the playoffs. These types of moves should put you over the top. I know the Lakers pick is only top 3 protected but what about next season when they are just a 35-40 win team. A 14 pick is not going to change the fortunes of the franchise in all liklihood.

    The pick goes to Philly if its 4th and beyond.

    I read they traded second round pick.

    The Lakers arent going to be drafting early in the next couple years when they have Russell/Kobe/Randle. So upgrades will be at FA and "tanking makes nonsense"

    Knicks have had a good offseason, still should trade Melo though.

    What is Kobe right now? I'mnot sure I would bankon him being a good player for much longer.

    He doesnt have to be great. He actually has talent around him.

    The actual talent core are rookies (aside from Hibbert). By the time Russel/Randle are ready Kobe will need to retire.

    I dont expect Randle or Russel to struggle in year 1.
