Your have a point, but I’ve been listening to draft previews lately and most of the top picks not good at defense or extremely bad. Doncic seems better than some at defense but not great. If our management is trying to move up in the draft they are not doing it because they value defense, at least not if they are giving up KP to move up.

Definitely no, even if it didn’t doom our defense, which it does.

It might give them a bad defense in year one, but if they drafted good defensive players, then they might be better off defensively going forward (especially since they’d be keeping Frank in the trade proposal).

having 4, 12, 13, and Frank is a lot of opportunity for strong players of the same age / contract value. Tough one.

And #9.

In reply to Cock Jowles, #1 Purveyor of Wanton Chuckery.

I think he has a good feel for the game which is more important than being able to do a 360 windmill dunk (DSJr).

Yep, that was the criticism of Frank’s horrifically bad offensive in his first season. He wasn’t able to do windmill dunks. Come on, man. I’m still all in on Frank, but he was just flat out horrible in nearly every facet of his offensive game in his first year.

I wanted to say No, because I’m hoping KP comes back strong… But even if he does, his timetable is already more advanced, and having 4, 12, 13, and Frank is a lot of opportunity for strong players of the same age / contract value. Tough one.

So Sixers and Celts are in the mix. Tanking doesn’t work!

Would you do this theoretical trade?:

Memphis gets: Courtney Lee, Tobias Harris, Pat Beverly, and Emanuel Mudiay.

LA Clippers get: Kristaps Porzingis, Tim Hardaway, and Ben McLemore.

New York gets: Chandler Parsons, #4, #12, #13.

KP is 22, has not had a reasonable point guard, has not had a good coach/management/system, nor anyone on his team to ever command a double team. He has literally had the worst possible circumstances to deal with. He’s going to get stronger. Frank is 19, played the unselfish euro style instead of selfish AAU and is a great defender and good passer. I think he has a good feel for the game which is more important than being able to do a 360 windmill dunk (DSJr). He’s a baby and deferred too much to his teammates even though they suck. He will work his butt off, get stronger and gain confidence. Both of these guys are unique and their games are conducive to winning. Don’t trade either one please.

I just watched ESPN’s Prospect to Pro and I believe if we can’t trade up for Doncic that we should do everything we can to trade up for Mo Bamba…he is going to be special and would be a perfect compliment to KP
