I was just reading the protections on the Dallas pick. It's top 7 protected every year though 2020 then becomes unprotected in 2021. So it's not the end of the world if we don't get their pick this year. It might work out better if we get it in 2017 when the draft might be better, and we only have 1 first round pick then at the moment.
Quote from: apc on July 08, 2015, 04:33:11 PMSo what is better for us??With DA and Wes we get a pick that I guess would be somewhere in the 20~, with a slight chance of lottery maybe? Wes is coming out of injury, and Dirk getting old.But with no DA or WES, is Cuban going to tank Philly style to make sure he doesn’t lose his pick?They almost have to. THere are no plan B's available for the roster this year in free agency, they dont have many tradeable assets, and they have to save face from the ROndo deal. They would be super motivated to tank.

Clippers, Jordan meeting overThe meeting has ended, according to ESPN's Chris Broussard. Chris Paul was emotional during the meeting, a source in the room told Broussard. Paul told Jordan he had no idea he felt negatively about him and that he thought they were "brothers." He said he'd work to get Jordan more involved in the offense and that the Clippers couldn't move forward without him.Share19m

They would be super motivated to tank.It would be interesting to see what "tanking" entails. Dirk and Chandler won't necessarily bench themselves. They care about their legacies and their next contracts (respectively). It is easier for a team like Philly to tank because there is no one especially good on the roster (yet). That's less the case for Dallas.
Serious question: is Deandre Jordan a child?
