They are at the mercy of any deal. If they dont get rid of Jefferies and Hill --they have one spot for a team that has holes up and down the roster. They are shipping out a 1-5 pick to Utah[which will be 4 weeks of embarrassment when it comes]
They are really working from a position if weakness. To be honest with you--I would wait for the draft and try to trade off Gallinari and Chandler IF they bring back two top 10 picks where I can get Monroe and one of the C's. If I can start with an infrastructure up the middle--then I can work backwards. Gallinari is so overhyped but maybe one team in the top 10 will take him--Chandler couldve got pick 5 last year[what a blunder--but oh wel]
if u can trade Gallo or Wislon for top 10 picks in this draft it's a no brainer, but i don't see any of the bad teams in the NBA being willing to do that.
but where does that get us? starting all over again... lets say we do that and the picks turn out to be , blah players... even busts.. then what? honestly any pick that comes here outside of wall will ride the bench with dantoni as coach. you can bet your dollar on that!
Wall is a stud but there are other big impact level prospects in the lottery this year... DeMarcus Cousins is a beast, then u have guys like Turner & Johnson who many are high on & i've read some good things about... Favors looks like he could be special too & then there's that euro kid from Lithuania who they're hyping up to be the next Sabonis/Dirk clone... don't get me wrong here, i like Gallo & Wilson, but we're talking about top 10 picks in a talent rich draft... but u'r probably right, i don't wanna arm DW with any more picks he might get some bright ideas about trying to dump Curry's contract.
but TMS, Jordan hill looked like a beast last year.. If gallo played college ball, I wouldnt' doubt he would be a beast.. at what point do we say. Ok coach, these kids have talent, develop them properly. I have no doubt if gallo was on a team like the kings with westphal as coach, he would be a hell of a player right now and we would be regretting we passed him up... the teams philosophy and how we treat young players has to change.. for years we have had coaches that ignored young players... gallo and chandler can play, I have no doubt they are as good as anyone in this draft, this year should have been spent developing the kids.. and so far, we faield at that!!
Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser...............
