Cousins is the best C in the NBA but does have some questions.

But i doubt it happens given it costs Beal+ a ton.

Other teams can offer more.

How many players from the 2014 draft actually did something this past season? Maybe 6-8 out of 60. Like I said. The draft is garbage.

And that was billed as a weak draft past the top 3

I saw a mock that had the Wizards (Thru trades) get Bobby Portis and Justin Anderson. Holy crap that would be awesome (and would never happen)

Rumors of Nurkic + 7 for number 4. Would be an awesome deal for the Knicks.

Yes please.

Unless Russell is there at 4.

If Russell is there at 4, it's because he REALLY didn't want to go to Philly.

Kevin Love opting out

Not a surprise. He will be going to LA I bet and recruit westbrook.

Lakers can package yhe 2 and Randle and future draft considerations for cousins. Crazy how quick they can rebuild

Depends on who is available.

I think they could sign Koufos cheap this offseason and draft Russel at the four and it will be even better.

Not true at all. Teams are going crazy for Porzingis right now and it seems that Towns/Okafor are going 1-2

Russell is clearly the 3rd best player in the draft.

Russell is clearly the 3rd best player in the draft.

Could argue he's the best.

 

[gilesfan]

Could argue he's the best.

More accurately; with Okafor and Towns gone, Russell is BY FAR the best player left in the draft.

I know we haven't seen Porzingis at all but it seems NBA GMS are pretty smitten with him.

When are GM's not smitten with the tall stretch Euro 4?

He might be good, great or suck.....but.....no chance I take him top 3 with his current build over Russell.

 

[gilesfan]

Yeah. The 5% chance he's Dirk means GMs are creaming themselves.

Considering every single team covets a stretch four that can block shots you better believe that most GMS would disagree with you.

 

[gilesfan]

I would lose it if the Sixers pass up on Russell. That would be great.

You realize he can't play D right? Especially in the post and he can't finish at the rim or play inside on O or D.

He's a better shooting Bargs, basically
