If the team sucks then they suck i just find it hard to believe a team with a Rapidly Improving guy like AD along with a borderline AS PG who will continuously get better, A PF in Ryan Anderson who fits Perfectly with Davis, along with a career 20 ppg guy & Evans can not ATLEAST be in contention for a playoff spot. However their is a possibility that they can suck your correct.
However considering the way the majority of the Draft goes there is a bigger chance drafting Nerlins, the 10th Pick in this draft, & a late lottery pick in next years draft also sucking by miles more.
In Jrue you have a big PG, who's giving you 18,6, has been a AS in the League & A great Defender, he's 23
In Gordon you have a 20 PPG scorer, who can create for himself and knock down shots from the outside, he's 25
In Evans You have a guy who could handle the ball and also create for others, Can get to the basket and has career averages of 16 5 & 5, he's 24
With Nerlins, the 10th this year, & a possible lottery picks next year you would be hardpressed to find this kind of production from a trio even if you give them 3-4 years, because outside of the Thunder no other team has gotten close too drafting this amount of Talent in the Lottery.
Now i won't argue for a second that both Gordon & Reke are a bit overpaid for their services, but when your in a market like N.O your not really going to be an option for the Major Players in FA... So regardless if we think these two are overpaid we can't act like they are complete trash players they are more than capable Starters and they haven't touched their prime yet.
If NO was out spending money on Players who are 30+ and on the decline i would bash them, but for the position their in I think they've put together a hell of a competitive team while AD continues to Blossom into the player everyone thinks he will become. And those contracts and the added experience of winning games won't do anything but help them when his time comes to be a FA rather then hurt them.

- spot on again about NO. I just wish they made the Asik pick lottery protected and took someone else besides Rivers at #10 a few years back. Other than that can't be mad at the movies they're trying to make. The key with this squad will be health.

The thinking now is that Caldo fits in the triangle, is a good PG, and can recruit Marc and Pau. So he might be here for the long term.
Also, seems like Phil wants to keep Shump and rather move Larkin for that 1st round pick instead.

Yea I really though Rivers was gonna pan out too
. I also agree that they were better off signing Robin Lopez to a long deal instead of getting Asik as a one year rental... Although i do see them possibly getting rid of Asik over the season.

You think Larkin is bringing back a first round pick this year?

I see that but i figured Phil was gonna continue to make Room for FA next year when everyone is off the books (assuming Melo isn't coming back). It's real risky of a trade to me because 1) Calderon is getting paid 7.5 a year for the next 3 yrs 2) he's worse than Felton on the Defensive side of the ball.
However i do like the pick up of Larkin, i think he's gonna be a pretty good PG in the league.

as bad as a defender as Calderon is.... at least he TRIES... I give him that much
the effort is always there... he's just not good at it
Ellington is going to enjoy NY if it's re-build mode... son would LOVE to have the green-light to Chucktown

He's not worse than Felton on the defensive end. Me and you could have done a better job.
Whispers of Larkin for Thunders 21st or 29th. Which is the exact deal that was there for Shump. I rather keep Shump if thats the case.

It's freaking draft day!
Lol I'm sayin, you want them to make up news?
Ain't that much sports in the world.
Unless you want them to cover more women college lacrosse.
Or maybe some Ugandan cricket.

Nick Young - G/F - Lakers
Nick Young said "there will be a riot" if the Lakers don't do something to bring him back next season.
"They love me. The fans love me," Young said. The team officially announced that Young has opted out of his deal and is now an unrestricted free agent. The Lakers are certainly going to at least entertain bringing him back, but they'll likely exhaust all options for the big-name free agents before turning to Swaggy P.

An NCAA school won their first EVER men's championship last night in one of the 4 major American sports; they could talk about that more.
And yes, I would love to see more women's sports on ESPN, but... yeah, I know.

I wasnt talking about "big" in terms of impact (obviously all of those guys had a huge impact).. I was talking about the amounts they were signed for and the circumstances they were coming out of when they signed
