[Rondo2287]

The Indiana Pacers Select Marvin Williams

[WeMadeIt17]

While yes he has a great team don't get me wrong but still I just laugh at things like this. We felt we needed to make a move to get some depth.

[Rondo2287]

PG: Deron/Stuckey
SG: Ray Allen/Stuckey
SF: Durant/Marvin
PF: Scola/Marvin
C:  Lopez/Brand

10.17 and 11.9 available

To a 27 year old, 4 time DPOY, 4 time 1st team All-NBA center, OKC just added a 24 year old former MVP and 1 time 1st team All-NBA player.

That's pretty significant even id DeMar DeRozan is on the team. Chase Budinger will probably start anyway.

Glad to be in the East where I feel a playoff spot is a possibility.

6 of the top 7 picks are all in the West 

[Kane3387]

With 10.3 GS takes draymond green

[RebusRankin]

Guys like Derozan look better when they are complimentary pieces to two ALL-NBA, perenial MVP candidates.

Really?  So the Durantula is the only premier talent in the east?  I like the sound of that.

I warned people in my announcement of Lucky to hide your binkies that he was coming for them.

I warned you all.

OKC just went from afterthought to lead contender in two trades and wiped out the talent for role playing bench people all in one fell swoop.

Oh and he still has 2 of the next 5 picks.

That's taking the CB Draft to the woodshed like a red headed stepchild.

Not really, he just took one other GM to the woodshed. Everyone else is collateral damage.

[Lucky17]

DeRozan + Patterson + 10.5 on the block for a starting caliber SF.

[WeMadeIt17]

Alright folks we get it you like the deal for the thunder anything else you wanna say about mine or gomesfan GM skills we have other things in mind.

[pearljammer10]

Still pretty shocked about the value LA gave up for Rubio and Jeff Green...

Now Derrick Rose and Dwight Howard together with a host of solid role players?

I'm taking my ball and going home.

I wouldn't go that far.  I wouldn't rank OKC at the top of the league just yet.  They've still got Iman Shumpert and DeMar DeRozan as their starting wings, and Taj Gibson is nobody to write home about.

I agree here. Deadly trade for OKC and they get significantly better. But there are no shooters in the starting 5 to create space. Also, to play the flip side of things, Howard could pull what he did last year and have an off year again, while Rose could come back from injury a completely different player. (I dont expect this to happen at all...Just saying its a possibility.)

With the NBA you secure you top talent first, then you build depth.

Trading away an all-nba level player for depth will almost always make your team worse. (unless you have two guys of similar talent who can't really play together great 2 PGs for example)
