?QuestionMark? Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Who are some of your top guys left? Hamilton, Brooks, Reggie Jackson and Donatas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Built Ford Tough Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Kenneth Faried would have been a much better pick. Faried is basically no different than Turiaf, though. He wouldn't have been a bad pick by any means, but at least Shumpert gives them a bit more versatility and could develop into a very nice defensive stopper off of the bench. Plus, it is always great to have an athlete like him when you play a system like D'Antoni runs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Kenneth Faried, Marshon Brooks, Jordan Hamilton to name a few. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is true, although I don't think they would be able to find someone with such rebounding abilities like Faried on the free agency market.

Dash Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Great for the Wizards. Keep sliding Motiejunas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
?QuestionMark? Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Faried is basically no different than Turiaf, though. Much better rebounder than Turiaf. Turiaf is a better shot-blocker. Both limited offensively, but Faried scores a lot more on putbacks and has some post moves, Turiaf has a better mid-range. I think the question mark on Faried is his size. He may just be another Reggie Evans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Regime Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 A trade has been reported. Kawhi Leonard from Pacers (15th Pick)For George Hill (Spurs) Interesting... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He may just be another Reggie Evans. Yeah, so, in conclusion, basically no different. Both bring pretty much the same thing to the table. Also, sounds like there was a trade. I made a thread about this, but figured I'd post it here as well. STEIN_LINE_HQ Marc Stein RT @chadfordinsider: Pacers have traded this pick to the Spurs for George Hill, sources say Spurs also are supposedly getting the 42nd pick in the draft. Hamilton would have been a much better pick here for the Bucks. Sure he can be a bit of a chucker, but he would give them a much needed offensive player. I think he would've been a better pick than Harris, but I admit to knowing next to nothing about Harris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NomarFachix Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I'm just happy we didn't take Faried. Heard the Knicks were high on Shumpart leading up to the draft, so I'm not too shocked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

?QuestionMark? Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Yeah, so, in conclusion, basically no different. Both bring pretty much the same thing to the table. Sure if bringing completely different skills equals the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Sure if bringing completely different skills equals the same thing. Whatever you say. I highly doubt the Wolves are keeping Motiejunas. There is simply no room on the roster for him considering they have Darko, Love, Beasley, Williams and Pekovic all on the roster.

?QuestionMark? Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 There goes Donatas. So much for Houston getting him. If Houston wants a big Faried and JuJuan Johnson are probably the best left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 (edited) Minny better make a trade or they are going to get another top 5 pick next year. They also have Anthony Randolph which makes this 4 and 5 situation crazy. Edited June 24, 2011 by Newman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Built Ford Tough Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Definitely thought Faried would be the pick here. Everything I read suggested that tehy absolutely loved him last season before he pulled out of the draft and still completely adored him this season. Smith isn't a bad pick by any means, though. He won't be anything spectacular, but he should be a solid guard for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 I heard that the Blazers wanted a starting PG in the draft. Nolan Smith can definitely be the one. Also, people have speculated that Brad Miller and two picks (23rd and future 1st) will be going to Minny for Donatas and Jonny Flynn.

Just posted it in the thread in the Rockets forum and Woj said that was the trade. PS: DId they say the Toronto Trailblazers there?

?QuestionMark? Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Agree. At the very least Portland gets a better backup than Armon Johnson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newman Posted June 24, 2011 Report Share Posted June 24, 2011 Wow, Andre Miller for Raymond Felton would be nice for both teams. Obviously other pieces will be involved (Batum?), but I hope this trade happens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
