Whoops! I forgot Jimmy Butler. I would put him right after Klay Thompson.
Tristan Thompson was considered a reach at number 4 at the time but he has proved to be a good pick. In retrospect, here's how I would redo the 2011 lottery draft:
1. Irving
2. Faried
3....
The Nuggets' are at the light at the end of the tunnel right now. No need to build or rebuild. Tweek , perhaps. I understand Kroenke's philosophy. Why pay 3 million per for a perceived reputation...
More speculation: it could be a decision based on insurance or lack of it for a junior tournament. Wiggins may have some insurance while he practices and performs for Kansas. The NBA currently pays...
Overcome? I still don't get it. Stan Kroenke will hire suits to fill the office void. He nailed it on the cheap before, he'll do it again.
Denver is simply turning over front office staff. The Nuggets are very close to the top tier of the league with their current roster even minus Igoudala. I do not follow that they will somehow be...
Josh Smith is also a free agent. I don't think the Hawks would need Smith if they signed Howard with Horford to play PF. I am wondering if they would have the cap space to sign Paul and Howard plus...
McGrady has a chance for a ring.
The Heat would be able to enter the free agent market if they were lucky to close that deal, using that number 4 pick as part of a sign and trade deal for somebody like Chris Paul.
There is a long existing pattern of behaviour where Canada's best players do not participate in national team programs.

Bosh's play has been underwhelming this playoff season. Still a good player, but aren't you glad it's not the Raptors paying that salary ($17.5 million)?
Henderson has a wicked elbow.

Rob Ford is a fun guy to party with.
The truth is a bitter pill.
Bargnani retired already at some point in the 2011-12 season. Didn't you know?
Shane Larkin may turn out to be the best point guard in this draft.
Robinson could end up back in Sacramento. If the Rockets are giving Asik away to a team with cap space then Cleveland would be the perfect place.
Not trying to be negative or seem like an AB hater I'd wager that, without doing any research, that the Italian national team has lost more games than it has won with Bargnani in uniform.
Matt Devlin has to go! I haven't gotten over Chuck leaving.
My post about uniform changes was referring to roster moves as in players wearing the uniform of a different team next season. A bit of a hijack, sorry.
I am hopeful that the new GM will have a least a few uniform changes in store for us.
I have this perception that Lebron is a nicer person than MJ, who had his gambling addiction and a lot of petty grudges that came into play.
Rogers and Bell have an unlimited funds at their disposal. If Ujiri is the target, go get him. There's no cap in place for management.
I agree that Kyle Lowry is not the long term solution. Maybe Chris Paul will sign for the veteran's minimum.
Kabongo and Siva, whom I like a little more than Myck, will likely be available deep into the second round. A pick for one of those should be attainable. Siva is a 4 year collegian and MVP of a...
