View Full Version : Attractive, realistic duos to add if we traded down for 2 picks....

Lamb and Zeller. Lamb seems underrated. Great scorer with length. Zeller has zero length but he's still solid in many ways. He's a decent fit with Biyombo. Lamb could guard bigger wings eventually if he adds weight, if we decide to keep 2G Henderson....


Lamb and Terrence Jones. Yeah, Jones could be a headcase. But there's a lot of NBA game there if he asserts himself. These guys could bring offensive firepower and spacing over the course of the next couple of years. Jones is physically developed already, unlike Lamb, and also brings some length/shotblocking to the table.


Lamb and John Henson. Might take the both of them a few years to add the strength for being truly effective. But they bring a nice mix of skills and length.


Harrison Barnes and Royce White. Adding strength/physical maturity and some ball skills to the team.

Kemba, Hendo, Barnes, and Biyombo need a facilitator/passer like White, who thankfully rebounds way better than his play-alike Boris Diaw. That would be an interesting core.

depending who we trade down for. If we can Cleveland's picks, I would like T-Rob and Royce White or Barnes and White/Melo

If we traded with Cleveland, I'd be elated with ThoR and White. I'm just not sure Robinson is making it that far unless the team we trade with promises to take Beal.

Other thoughts:

Drummond at 4-6 and White much lower. Adding a lot of brute strength to the team. White's ball skills mixed with Drummond's length/shotblocking/dunking ability.

Or MKG at 4-6 and White much lower. Then get maybe 7-foot Ezeli at pick 31?

Good stuff Vet.

My dream draft would be Thomas Robinson, Moe Harkless, Royce White. So Harkless/White would be my duo of choice when trading down. That still leaves us small and it would be adding basically two SF's, but those two guys have the most potential for value based on where they will be drafted.

I think its important to note how good this Bobcats team played when Boris Diaw played well. I think Royce White can be that same guy for us, but with a better motor, more physical presence and a lot more rebounding. He is going to be a hell of a player for someone.

Another duo I would dig with say the 6 and 11 from Portland would be Harkless at 6 and Leonard at 11. SF with crazy potential and a true 7 foot physical presence with hops.

I assume that Harkless and White could be effective on the court together. White looks strong enough to guard most PF's. Maybe he's wide enough to keep some centers out-of-position too. Thoughts?

Also, yeah, just imagine Boris with a motor and rebounding. That kind of versatility and all around game is exciting. (If we can get him on a plane.....)

If we can get Boston's 21 and 22 id nab up White and Melo QUICK!

Yeah I mean if we played Boris Diaw at center we can play White at pf haha. He is bigger and stronger too.

It sounds like what I've read on here that the 10th is up for sale? If that is the case assuming we keep the 2nd and 10th picks I would want Robinson and Harkless at 10. Just my opinion not sure what it takes for us to get the 10th pick.

I'd like that too. But I don't think Harkless last that long. I think Barnes goes to Cleveland at 4 and MKG will be gone to DC. Leaving Harkless the next best SF prospect and Golden State at 7 will take him there. If we want Harkless I think we have to pick before Golden State unless MKG or Barnes falls that is.

I would bet you my house that harkless does not go as high as 7! And if we trade down my 2 picks would be gun and bullet, cause i'm gonna want to shoot someone if we fuck this up and miss out on robinson!

Robinson's nice, but there are some other attractive players too. If we can get one of the top 4 or 5 guys and another lottery or mid first round pick, I'd feel o.k. with that. Hell, the way it's looking now, we could probably get Robinson at 4.

Screw Taylor. Would much rather have Miller, White, Melo, Lamb, Jenkins, Wroten, or Nicholson with the 24th pick

Trade down with Portland, take Damian Lillard and Royce White. S&T DJA for a 2/3 or sign one from FA.

Kemba
Hendo or FA (prefer Terrence Williams, Belinelli, Nick Young, Landry Fields)
Maggette or FA (prefer Crash?, Batum (pipedream), Jeff Green, Sam Young)
Royce
Bismack

With Lillard and Mully bringing scoring punch off the bench. I like Harkless and Meyers Leonard a lot too.
