So We Lose The Lottery And Draft Second...

We better hope we pick first. I don't know if Barnes is coming out. I don't think I'd want him at this point anyways. I wouldn't want Andre Drummond. He reminds me too much of Kwame Brown. I'd be interested in Perry Jones III because of his size, length, athletic ability, and versatility. If we trade DJ Augustine, then maybe I'd be interested in Austin Rivers. I'm tired of drafting point guards though. We better get that number 1. I don't know if a team has ever been more deserving of it, then the Bobcats.

we certainly deserve it...but it's not guaranteed. Davis is no Griffin or Howard, but he's the only

sure thing in this draft. The drop-off to second looks to be as big as it was from Howard to Okafor.

We need a starter at every position...I don't see us keeping DJ, and I'm a long way from being sold

on Kemba. It just sucks to think about drafting second.

Perry Jones perplexes me as much as Barnes. Both have the physical tools but lack the aggressiveness needed to feel comfortable picking either in the top five.

If we're at No. 2 I look and see what the trade back market is...if there isn't anyone offering to move up I say take MKG.

Three months ago Drummond would have been the no brainer No. 2 but he has tons of question marks.

If we were to trade back I wouldn't mind Barnes/Perry combo...which would be great value.

Just curious, does anyone think the entire lottery system is a joke and should be scrapped? They are the only sport that I know of that does it, and all it does is ends up screwing over the worst teams in the league, the teams that need the talent. Look at the Bulls in '08, they were only a couple of games out of the playoffs, win the lottery and boom, get a future MVP. All the while most of the teams that were worse than they were that year, are still bad. Its a joke to think that far and away the worst team in the league(like us this year, or the heat in '08), could end up with the 4th pick in the draft. All the while teams that barely miss the playoffs have the possibility of getting the #1 pick.

I think the only reason we are complaining about this is because we have the worst record and should have the top overall pick. If we weren't the worst team this wouldn't even be a topic. It's unfair but it's supposed to prevent teams from tanking. But on the bright side we have a 1 and 4 chance to land the top pick.

      Give Legette another season?

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      I mean this is legit AF statement....you don't spend that draft capital on a project just like you don't trade up for an injured RB either, which was done in the same draft.  That draft IMO was a necessary evil for DM to learn from his mistakes (I think he did but some may not). Also I have to mention I'm a big Coker fan and think getting him as an UDFA was obv a steal.  Coker is the better WR2 at this point as Legette and its not even debatable unfortunately.  Give him year 3 but don't expect much from him.  Continue in the offseason with adding as much talent and competition on the roster as possible including WR.  Or just trade his ass for peanuts and continue to build roster by any means.......

      Losing him was a huge loss. Look at how the Bears went from a 5 win team to now a 11 win team. The Lions offensive line is bad this year, secondary is bad and Campbell going for it on 4th down all the time has cost them games instead of taking the Field Goals. Goff is inconsistent as well.

      Nah we just talking about giving a platform and normalizing predators (who both beat women) opinions and celebrating it if it fits your narrative.  If that's fun I'm fine being a miserable fug by not supporting P.O.S like that. N b4 you call me a libtard or some other dumb ish know I'm an Anarchist/Libertarian and believe both these dudes should get a complete ass whooping (at min) or something worse for what they have done to women in this world.
