After all, there seems to be a team every year that thinks they are a sure-fire playoff team and then has a colossal flameout. Last year,we were that team. This year, I got a feeling that it will be the Grizzlies, Mavericks and/or the Raptors (particularly if Lowry gets hurt or goes into non-contract year mode). If we could acquire a poorly protected 2015 1st rounder from a team like that finds itself in those circumstances, I think it'd go a long way to accomplishing some of the stuff you mentioned.

I like Harell as well, since he was in last year's draft but I view him more as a JJ Hickson than a Taj Gibson. Whatever the outcome, I'd be thrilled regardless. Are there any triangle capable PG's that are expected to be available in this years draft?

Harrell will move up to pick 4 or 5 this year maybe even 2. I expect Kaminsky even though projected to early round 2 will make it up to 12-16. If you look at how they both play--its almost a match made in heaven. They would be upperclassmen who could play right away and Im not doubting they both might be better than what we have on the roster. Sometimes stats in CBB for a big man can be misleading although I sense both will be close to 20-10 players this year. That would require a tank for a top 5 pick AND a trade where we could acquire a 2nd mid range pick. Grant would be a guy we'd have to hope slides just a tad or we can always flip a pick for an additional one. If we rebuild--Id like to expedite it. This is going to be a 2-4 year process. I can see our team IF built the right way--if we are savvy--as a team who will be a fierce up and coming team in 2 years.

Id be willing to let next years free agency go IF we can acquire picks by taking on cash next year. Id rather have the funds maxed in 2016 anyway.
