Thoughts on Wade/LeBron/ Favors?
love favors, really think he'll blossom in this league, but I'm not sure why you wouldn't go for more of a sure thing.

Looking at my options, there was no "sure thing" whose abilities I feel I couldn't get in he next two rounds.

Love Favors but it was a reach for this round. Really think he would have been available at the end of the next round.

Meh. Favors has a ton more upside and given their minutes played they're stats aren't that far apart. Plus Dwade and Lebron will have more fun with him.

Nick, I'm genuinely curious as to whom you would have targeted instead with my team. PM a small list!

I don't know if there's that significant of a difference between the two's upside. And I think there is a very significant difference as far as where they're at currently.

I think favors pick will be viewed as a steal later on. Right now its just 'meh'

I would've loved to see you take Antawn Jamison at that spot. 17, 6 and 2 and great floor spacing for James and Wade.

A lot of people are high on Favors, he's just not ready to start yet. You've made it a lot tougher on yourself in terms of winning this year, maybe next.

I disagree. Antwan is on the downslope and has never been a good defender and certainly isn't now. Also, Jamison has never been a favorite of mine. His insistence on hanging around the three point line is nauseating and he's just not that great a competitor, he absolutely shrinks from the spotlight when expectations are high.

Agreed -- Favors > Jamison -- both as an individual player and in terms of fit

Lowry+Gallo+Howard eats your lunch, son!
Just not this year.

Why not? You're not still short selling Lowry are you?
No Gallinari is out for at least a month possibly more.

I'd forgotten about this. New York is going to need a real good back up small forward.
