wizards need to make a move..we got a log jam at the 3...ariza and webster are playing well; so that keeps porter on the bench..number 3 overall pick gets no time; and ariza is a FA at the end of the season..i know we in get to the play offs mode; but we have to start thinking about the future

Everyone is giving the Cavs a hard time for picking Bennett but Porter can't even get off the bench. They need trade Ariza and let that boy cook

That draft was just trash period. That entire top 10 would be lucky to be lottery picks in the upcoming draft -

It's hard to call the draft trash half way through the first season but... Yea this draft was ? . MCW_Antetokounmpo and Oladipo look like potential future all stars and there's still a few guys who can be solid starters like Burke, Noel Haradway jr and but no real franchise changers. -

True Oladipo should be ROY for my Magic dude plays hard all the time. -

Dipo is the fourth option and is playing a new position. MCW has the green light like a muthufuka so don't look into the numbers too much. Both guys can ball and have similar strengths and weaknesses but I think Oladipo is stronger..more physical and has better intangibles

At least they added more people to the dunk contest

In a significant first in the event’s history, the competition will tip off with a Freestyle Round where the dunkers for each conference will have 90 seconds to showcase as many dunks as they want. At the conclusion of the Freestyle Round, the panel of judges will then choose a winner by voting “East” or “West.” The winning conference will earn the advantage of deciding whether its dunkers will dunk first or second in the head-to-head battles that take place in the Battle Round.
The Battle Round will feature head-to-head matchups pitting East dunkers vs. West dunkers, with the judges choosing a winner for each battle. Upon losing a head-to-head battle, that dunker is then eliminated from the competition. The first team to win three battles will win the competition and be crowned 2014 Sprite Slam Dunk champions. -

on my af.r.i.c.a ? right now, add these picks into the equation
Detroit receives Bulls 2014 top 12 protected pick from the Cavs
Cleveland receives NYK 2017 first round unprotected
LA receives 2014 Kings top 12 protected pick from Cleveland/2015 first round pick from Cleveland (Bulls have to option to swap)
all teams win
New York gets a young star to go with Melo, Cleveland get a veteran and young big man to form a formidable front court and two solid young guards, and they keep there lottery pick where hopefully they can grab Marcus Smart, Detroit gets something for Monroe instead of losing him to free agency, they improve there bench depth while moving Smith to his natural position and get a pick in the process, LA gets two picks, Chandler to play center for the rest of Kobe's career and an expiring

Franchise mode in 2k sucked, at least back in 11 it did I don't know if they improved it, but you could never make a deal this good in the game

Probably but that doesn't make him a better player. MCW is a beast tho. Orlando and Philly are gonna run ? in the east in a few years.. both teams have legit young talent and 2 lotto picks in this draft on top of cap room and trade chips.

I have a feeling Miami is gonna make a move. They get killed by teams with bigger front courts. Indy just picked up Bynum.. There are a lot teams in the west who have good PF/C combos and could get them in trouble if they meet I. The finals GS/SAS/LAC/POR f if Minnesota and Memphis ever get their ? together they would give the heat a good series. It's hard to see Bosh not opting out and getting his last max deal(he's 29). If they could move him for a future sidekick for Lebron preferably a inside defensive presence that would be ideal.
-
I don't think Bynum helps Indiana but it was still a good move by keeping Bynum from potentially helping Miami

If he could give them a solid 20 mins a game that would be enough. The pacers bench went from being their biggest weakness last season to now one of the best in the league. If they could add another quality guard they would be my pick to win it all.

I see Afflalo getting traded to a contender. His game has elevated and his defense has been underrated.
This will be season Spurs make a deal. They desperately need one. -

Spurs are supposedly interested in Evan Turner. That would be a nice move.
