2014 NBA Draft Thread

[RynoRules]

I realize that there is salary cap issues but McDermott will be a less effective dunleavy. At least with Harris you had a guy who can do something with the ball. How many possessions do we end up relying on a guard to do something with 3 seconds left on the 24?

 

I'm actually angry. Denver son'd us in a trade and got afflalo for nothing. Afflalo is on a value contract and is basically the perfect backcourt pairing for rose. Harris would be a nice conversation to afflalo. Instead we get dunleavy minus and let's not forget the redundancy created with Mirotic.

 

It's as I've always feared. Garpax fell in love with themselves again in the form of Jimmy Butler.

 

Agree and disagree.

 

First, he's a much better scorer than Dunleavy was at the same point in his career. Moreover, Dunleavy is almost guaranteed to be traded. Mirotic isn't in any way guaranteed to be here, but even if he is you literally cannot have enough scoring wings in today's game.

 

Agree that Afflao would have been a very good pick-up.

Pretty sure nurkic and Harris are less of a cap hold than McDermott. Didn't they say nurkic or whatever is in turkey for two years.

[Andy]

Apparently we will also be getting Anthony Randolph in the McDermott trade.

I realize dunleavy is probably gone. I'm just saying I expect a lot less from McDermott than what we got from dunleavy, maybe I'm wrong but I dont even know that thibs will use McDermott.

Could be. This really comes down to whether you think McDermott is Chandler Parsons. I for one think he could be.

 

I also would point out that a lot of teams passed on Harris. I don't get why, but they did.

Expiring contract?

His current contract expires after the 2014-2015 season, in which he has a $1.8M cap hit.

Carmelo trade piece, no doubt

[Ryne Ween]

There was a time when an anthoney Randolph acquisition would have excited the [expletive] out of me.

[RynoRules]

Napier reminds me of Iverson. He's obviously not that good, just reminds me of him.

[Derwood]

Napier to Miami

[RynoRules]

Napier to Miami

 

For their 2020 No 1 pick?

[Ryne Ween]

I don't even know that Napier is better than Mario Chalmers. This does not make Miami any better.

The thing is Reese Davis is not tht bad. Neither is Rose. It Simmons distractions and [expletive] that ruin it. It's like a class clown disrupting a class except he's 50.

I can't figure out the Anthony Randolph inclusion at all.

Damn, lots of talented guys dropping into 2nd Rnd. Kyle Anderson and Cleanthony Early, for example.

He can be used as part of a sign and trade to get Melo. 1.8 mill cap number that expires after this season,

[PosterToBeNamedLater]

Not that I am a great scout or anything, but I don't really get all of the Gary Harris love. When watching Michigan State games, I never was enamored with him or thought he was going to be a really good pro. He seems a bit small, slow, and can't really create his own shot.

[SpongeWorthy]

I'll take McDermott who can be a historically good shooter than just another decent swingman type (Hood, Young, Harris, etc)

Anthony Randolph's $1.825M deal expires in '15. Perfect for Knicks' rebuild.

We already had a slew of small contracts to use for matching that we're unguaranteed, for immediate cap savings. I don't see the scenario where we need an extra 1.8m plus it hurts your ability to actually have cap space.

 

Also in any trade he can only be traded alone. Now you can split up a larger deal, but unless NYK has a trade exception to use I don't see how you can split him off in a trade.
