A few special players Ive brought out on to the main forum. I hear different names from the NBA thrown around and Id rather us either trade for draft assets and get younger--build the right type of players around KP. Forbes might be the best 3 point shooter in the draft--and he wont be on any draft sites--so I think some people would like to see a player like this.

But we all know these names that you've been making threads about so it's not like you're finding any sleepers at all. Everyone you've talked most about are 1st round picks.

Sorry I missed those threads that were posted about these guys.

Would you not question the intelligence of any GM that would build around a first year player? Should we start the list of players who had a good firat year only to flop. Not saying he will but its still early to abandon a current game plan. This type of knee jerk reaction more of fan crazed mindset. Again....who do you trade and to whom in order to get a top 15 draft pick. And btw,as many current trams with stockpiled first rounders can attest, not always a recipe for playoff basketball.

We spent 100mm $ on free agency last year and were 23-32. The best player weve had in 20 years was a draft pick. You have 15 roster spots--the best way to find guys is the way the Spurs Warriors and Thunder have done it--through the draft then free agency to enhance. This is a complimentary second line player who has good enough form to one day be a potential NBA starter in the right situation. To get a player like this youre looking mid 2 to undrafted and a salary of less than 1mm. I think if you start adding +45% 3 point volume shooters from very good CBB teams--you will do well.

Can you please explain how an analogy in which the Spurs are used is relevant? By your strategy, they would have traded Duncan, Ginobli, Parker to gain draft picks. The Spurs are exactly the opposite of a team that gives up on proven players only to stock pile draft picks. As for 100 million, would agree there was too much money given to certain players this past off season. Would have not signed Rolo, KO, Etc. Like some guys from last year that were less.

ill ask this again. lol
