2016 picks

[konkmv]

i think the 2016 draft is far more important for us..
nets pick at 1-14 range, i do not think they will reach the playoffs
mavs pick at 8-20 range, west is brutal... dirk older
celtics pick at 8-20 range, hopefully we will improve more and have 45-48 wins
the wolves pick probably will be 2 second rounders
probably 2 lottery picks... lets see how the kids will develop but...
stone brown labissiere maker simmons newman elenson jetter briscoe ingram rabb diallo zimmerman add 2-3 sophomores... the lottery will be just fine

I know a lot still needs to happen, but right now we hold the following picks
Brooklyn-unprotected
Boston
Minnesota(top 12 protected)
Dallas(top 7 protected)

Ideally, Dallas falls apart, Brooklyn falls apart, and Minnesota is next years Suns of 14 or Celtics of 15

This would require a lot of luck but some of the pieces are falling into place

Minnesota wins lotto- could Towns, Wiggins, Rubio, Lavine, Dieng, Muhammed lead them outside the top 12? I think its unlikely but possible

Brook Lopez reportedly considering opting out
So far over the cap that even with him opting out they are still over the cap. Hello top 10?

Dallas fell apart in playoffs, could lose Monta and Chandler will not resign Rondo. With Dirk aging and Parsons nursing an injury they are very reliant on FA to fill holes. Its unlikely as LMA and Jordan are good targets but its possible that they miss out on the feeding frenzy and fall out of the playoffs in the ever competitive west.
--------------------------
Right now Id project it like this
Brooklyn = 10-12
Boston = 12-16
Dallas = 16-20
Minnesota = 38ish

But I think if everything falls into place you could see
Brooklyn = 6-10
Boston = 30 (kidding)
Dallas= 12-14
Minnesota= 13-16

Right now Id project it like this
Brooklyn = 10-12
Boston = 12-16
Dallas = 16-20
Minnesota = 38ish

I think it'll play out closer to this
Brooklyn 6-8
Boston (assuming moderate signings but no big infusion of talent): 9-12
Dallas: 8-12
Minny: probably at 9-12 like the C's which means we get 2 second rounders instead of their first.

3 lottery picks for the C's would offer one heck of an opportunity to pick up several building block players in the following draft
