Randle is playing in the wrong era. Undersized nonathletic power forwards aren't needed these days. Randle is to short to play on the block in the NBA and doesn't shoot well enough to move off the block.

Same here Brozart. Not thrilled with our draft night and the fact that Afflalo, a guy that could've really helped us, was traded to Denver for peanuts. Guess we'll keep developing through the draft and keeping the money tight.

I thought you guys should have drafted Rodney Hood. I don't get the McGary pick.

I guess he's gonna be a Nick Collison replacement. Always a little risky to draft some big white guy.

McGary is a pretty good player. Lottery pick till he hurt his back.

I feel like the 76'ers epic tank job isn't gonna yield much. Was kind of excited about this young squad and seeing how they come together. Orlando is starting to look good, but they should've kept Afflalo.

Orlando is building for the future, and Afflalo was a FA after this year. This way they can a prospect that they like for him, as opposed to having him play another year where they only win 25 games or so, and then get nothing.

Not sure OKC or anyone else could have gotten him unless they were willing to part with a good player on a rookie deal. Fournier has some talent.

I don't know if the Sixers are geniuses or idiots but I'm leaning toward the latter. I will say I don't think Michael Carter-Williams is enough to win a title, and Embiid, Saric, and Noel could be one hell of a frontcourt, but they're not all going to play together for another couple of years. That's a long time to intentionally suck at basketball.

I hardly ever see him play, so know nothing...but why are people so down on MCW? He averaged 17/6/6 as a rookie...not chopped liver? His shooting percentage is not great, but that may change.

I just don't think you can win a title with that guy as your primary ballhandler. He's going to be a good player. But for this level of a teardown project which has gone on for like 3-4 seasons of absolute shit at the bare minimum, don't you want to come out with an elite player at the most important position?

I wonder if Phoenix is planning on matching any offer for Bledsoe. Since they have Dragic and just drafted a PG, it kinda seems like they're prepared to lose him. I'm kinda hoping the Mavs are in on that. He's not somebody I think is a max player, but I'd be willing to go pretty high if I were the Mavs.

I love Blesdoe. So does Dick Carlisle on the twitter. Big Dick seems to know his hoops. A good follow if you like basketball.

Nope. Jason Kidd is definitely an asshole.

He coached 1 lackluster year in Brooklyn and then expects the Pop/Doc treatment. Doesn't get his way so wants to go elsewhere and get it. He burned everything he had with Brooklyn after they offered him a job with 0 experience.

That on top of the wife beating/drunk driving/cup spilling...

He's an asshole.
