Up to 6 draft picks, including 4 potential 1st-rounders turned down to draft Kaminsky.
smh
smh
Rozier wasn't even a good college player
Can Winslow shoot?
Rockets with a money draft
As for the Idiot (MJ) Hornets, all they had to do was draft Winslow and sign a FA power forward they could afford like Bass, Jordan Hill or Amir Johnson (7mil) and they have:
Kemba---Roberts
Batum---Lamb is a decent scorer/shooter
Winslow over MKG
Johnson/Hill/Bass--- Marvin Williams
Big Al --- Hawes
Starting 5 can play.
Bench not bad with several former starters.
Playoffs.
Instead...
I understood the greatest need was 3 point shooters. That ain't Winslow.
No, not really at all. Daniel Orton was more athletic and a better shot blocker, but he gave zero effort and had a very negative attitude. Dakari is a much harder worker, and has a very good attitude.Basically Daniel Orton
I understood the greatest need was 3 point shooters. That ain't Winslow.
Golden State wanted Harrell and Looney.
Those were 2 key guys since the entire Western Conference (and NBA) needs to figure out how to go small to match:
SF - Iguodala
PF - Barnes
C - Green
Spurs had a shot to grab Harrell/Looney and go:
SF - Kawhi
PF - Harrell/Looney
C - Duncan
Take your time and pound ball into Duncan versus Green FTW.
I like Milutonovic, but they got burned last year when they finally took a US born player, Kyle Anderson, who is skilled, but ridiculously slow. Ridiculously slow will not work in the West. Maybe the East. So, they reverted back to draft, hold and wait, but PROBLEM is they can't wait much longer.
Second pick is 6'10/250 out of UMass and he looks slow too.
Spurs needed a replacement for D Green, if he leaves, and an explosive forward they could interchange with Kawhi (to matchup with GS). So...I guess the hope now is Lamarcus A comes to SA and blends well with Timmy.
I love that a Boston homer is calling shots at the Kings for overreaching 3 or 4 draft slots for a need when Ainge overreacted about 10 slots for Terry fucking Rozier, a too short combo guard on a team full of short combo guards.
You keep on rationalizing, RSF.
