We've talked about him before...He could be Kg. But he looks pure finesse. College will be a shock for this kid. I can't see him developing into anything until he gets out there with some 255lb and up beasts.

Besides a 7 footer with no inside game breaks my heart.

What year would he be eligible to sign with the CBA possibly adding another year or 2 for these young talented players
We currently own 1st round NO DRAFT picks till 2017, 2018, and beyond
We have traded many 2nd rounders that will have good value considering how bad we can be, and we own our 2nd rounders from 2018 and above
Fortunately we might be able to buy 1-2 picks this summer because we didn't spend that money last summer and I believe we can use another 3.2 again in trades to purchase the right of a player

Like the total rebuild of our NYK coaching staff, I look Phil Jackson will look to build/develop players/and continued development players from vet min signings
Problem is with the extra 5m increased for next season, in addition to the continued increase of the salary cap
We need hardworking players in addition to players that demand respect and help build a winning culture similar to a David West and Lance Stephenson

Can we still trade Tyson Chandler and Iman Shumpert for bad contracts and OKC owns 2 1st round draft picks in this summer
NO ONE is untouchable, including Tim Hardaway JR if we can indeed sell high for him

CA no has the ability to sign with teams, making them instinct contenders if healthy
However, if we sign and trade him, it will help along with the moves above, especially if we get rid of players like Felton/Prigs
Preferably trading him to teams like Houston, Suns, and a few other teams would make much sense since they all of the assets, Bulls make sense but we would be fighting for a roster spot with them so it would unfavorable to do so

JR Smith's value will fluctuate with his erratic play, so if we can somehow trade him high next season on his contract year to a contender, it would make much sense if we can get back value for him

Maybe it can be a 1-3 year plan, but we must utilize our cap space wisely and find STEALs, in addition to developing system/philosophy/winning culture
While there are great UFA's in 2015 to build a team around, if we can strike out on 2016 instead with Durant and Noah, they would both give us the players need to run the Triangle
Maybe getting a player like Dragic and a Jeff Green/Thad Young or a Kevin Love/LA which starts at a salary above 15m

Players like Randy Foye, Shawn Livingston, Gereld Green, and many others are very solid role players as value players

I agree with Briggs about DeAndgre Kane and Barakaski, in addition to many LATE and possibly undrafted FA's
