Guest Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 What are Detroit's needs? They seem like a collection of players rather than a team. They are a team that is currently at $97 million dollars and that's before signing KCP to a max or close to max deal of $25 million. So I think they'll be looking for salary cap relief cause they'll be in luxury tax hell with only pick #12 as a roster addition. Reggie Jackson is a headcase for that team especially at $16 mill - the team as a whole played better with $6mil Ish Smith running point. I think they would like to move RJ.

Guest Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 DET looks like a team built by a guy not qualified to build a team. Do the right thing and step down, SVG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 31, 2017 Report Share Posted May 31, 2017 Ya, I just want to point out to the folks at squawk, not naming names, that wanted SVG as our coach about 4 or 5 years ago. We would have been screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 4, 2017 Report Share Posted June 4, 2017 I wonder who we would be targeting if we moved up. Thoughts? Bunch of you wanted Lauri, while others Frank...I like OG, but other juicy prospects as well. If it happens, would it be a move up 5 or 6 spots or are we talking about a blockbuster that would include somebody on our roster like Dwight, Dennis or Baze. This would be ballsy as hell but imagine if Schlenk wanted to bring in his own point guard and trades Dennis and #19 to move up to the 3-6th pick in the draft. #3 is Philly, who can use a point guard, #4 the Suns who have Bledsoe but I'm not sure they are set with him, #5 is the Kings, who had actually shown interest in being rumored to want Dennis and liked him a year or so ago, and they need it all. #6 is Orlando who is also in need of a point guard because I don't think they are happy with Payton. With 3-6 we could target Fox, Tatum, Isaac, Josh Jackson, Dennis Smith and Monk. Im just thinking all bets are off when you have a new GM. He likes what he likes.

Well you sold me on OG, so I'd trade up a few spots for him. The fact that he's so physically similar to Draymond Green gets me excited. He's half an inch taller, 4 lbs lighter, and has a 1 inch longer wingspan than Green. If we can teach to have the offensive skills that Draymond developed, then he's an all star. However we might be better off taking your boy Semi Ojelye. He's mo much more skilled offensively than OG, so he's much less of a project. Now OG didn't test at the combine, but I doubt he's as freaky of an athlete as Semi. Semi can jump out of the gym and had elite agility testing at over 240 which is insane. However, he's an inch shorter than OG and has a 4.25 inch shorter wingspan. That's what bothers me a little on Semi. He's got there size of a guard so I would exactly want him playing center in small ball lineups like I think OG can, so the trade up might be worth it based on upside.

Honestly, the Knicks drafting him is the worst thing possible for Frank. Maybe in a year or two after they've ruined him for two seasons (as they ruined THJ), Schlinek (sp) can trade for him for pennies on the dollar and Bud can whip him into shape.

DBac Posted June 16, 2017 Report Share Posted June 16, 2017 Dangle 19 and the Cavs pick. I think that gets you into the lottery. I'd go for Zach Collins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That Philly big 3 could be so good. That's 3 potential legitimate super stars which is what it takes to make it to the finals apparently. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Josh Jackson will either be a superstar or thrown in jail. He is as dumb as rocks if his Kansas stuff is completely true. Has superstar level talent however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KB21 Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 The superstar term gets thrown around a lot, particularly with these one and done guys. Josh Jackson is a perfect example. At best, he will be a supporting star player, but considering that he can't shoot, my bet is that he becomes a role player in the NBA. I don't think there are any "superstar" players in this draft. I think there are a few that can be a star in the NBA. The majority of these guys are role players if you squint hard enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
