If we keep the pick.

[Diesel]

We should look for trades and take either Carney or Morrison.

And get either Williams (Eric) or Craig Smith in the 2nd round.

What I mean is that we should trade either Marvin or Chillz.

Being that those are our two most valuable pieces of the logjam...

[Nicholasp27]

there is no logjam with marvin/chill

smoove will be fulltime pf

chill can get 30+ mpg at sg/sf

marvin can get 30+ mpg at sf and maybe even play some backup pf as well

chill gives us much needed depth and still gets to be 6th man for 30+mpg and be one of our leaders...

we have al as our most valuable trade piece, plus we have a top 10 pick, plus we have andersen and maybe rmorris plus we have cap space

we don't need to be hasty and lose chill/marvin at this early stage

MAYBE in the future when we are tweaking our roster, but at this point we aren't tweaking, we're still building chemistry while looking for a starting pg and defensive, rebounding center

[gsuteke]

well said, well said.

Diesel is suggesting that the strength of this draft lies at the forward position and that we should grab a forward like Morrison, etc. If we did that, how many minutes would you see available to Morrison, Gay, etc.?

[Diesel]

Nick has already drunk the Koolaid.

He probably thinks we draft one of the forwards like Morrison or Carney and call them a C and automatically they become a C.

[Nicholasp27]

i wouldn't draft one of the forwards, unless it was a pf/c like aldridge/shelden/etc where we could legitimately do well with a pg/jj/marvin/smoove/draftee lineup

if i drafted one of those, it'd be to trade them

If Josh Smith is a power forward why doesn't the team's coach use him at that position?

[CrawDaddy]

Because the team's coach is a moron.

[Seano]

How bout we just wait and see where we end up first, before making plans on trading a pick that we have absolutely no idea where it will even fall in the lottery?

You say we should take Morrison, but that's presuming we end up with at least a top 3 pick. That's a pretty massive assumption at this point, isn't it? There's no telling which way those ping pong balls will fall. We could end up #1, or we could end up #10.
