Last year smart, randle, vonleh were all supposed to be amazing.
The hype train was rolling on stauskas too.
and elfrid payton is still considered one of the higher upside guys, and i don't see him becoming all that great either

2000 - 3 all-stars (in a bad draft)
2001 - 8 all-stars
2002 - 4 all-stars
2003 - 9 all-stars
2004 - 6 all-stars
2005 - 5 all-stars
2006 - 5 all-stars
2007 - 4 all-stars
2008 - 5 all-stars
2009 - 6 all-stars
2010 - 3 all-stars
So average of 4.8 per draft.@Chr1st1anL

I think this draft is very top heavy.
Lots of good players at top.
I think this year's top 10 is better than last years.
Last year became a lot of hype.
Actually tough to really know due to injuries to Randle, Parker, and Embiid.
I do like top of this year's draft.

Well guys....
I think were gonna stay pat and draft RHJ. Unless we do make a deal... MU hopefully nabbing up younger guys and a good pick.Axel wrote:Now Cody can stop posting about this guy and we have a poster to blame if anything goes wrong!!KeonClark wrote:We won't hear back from him.

But then again I don't have a time machine like yourself. So you must be rightI'm back. I no longer worship joe johnson

I just pointed out that he's my ideal starting PF going forward. How to acquire him? That's up to MU...

Without running the pick by pick analysis, I would say that the Top 7 should produce at least 4 of the all-stars with 1 other from later on.Heir, Prince of Cambridge

also the part we don't get is the obviousness that demar immediately makes a team a winner.
I clearly said that he may impact their draft pick percentage. They may be a lottery team next year (even with this trade that would be assumed) but have a worst pick. They could get better than say 2 Eastern teams, get in the lottery system and have higher odds for a worse selection.
I'm not saying DeMar is the truth and he will save Denver. I never said don't trade him. Just don't trade a top 10 SG to Denver, or NY. Even if it takes an all-time great season from DeMar for Denver to improve, why would you gamble the value of that pick? We already own their pick in a better draft. Why would you potentially make it worse?
Life isn't perfect. You guys are seeing this way to linear. Statistics are not straight lines. Why gamble a single year anomaly that makes the Raps future pick worse? For all we know a change of environment, a better coach improves DeMar. This is a guy who feeds off of his doubters. You can't see him having an all time season the year he gets traded to show people it was a bad idea? And it's essentially a contract year for him. Really? That sounds like the perfect catalyst.
If they move DeMar, there are other teams in the Top 10 they can negotiate with and preserve value of their future asset. This is just Denver pumping up the value of an asset.Last edited by blackjitsu; Thu Jun 25, 2015, 12:34 PM.

The 7th pick will produce a highly skilled rookie on a nice rookie scale deal before the cap jumps. That is better than 1 year of DD before he either gets overpaid by us or someone else.
You should totally get a time machine though. Then you could contribute to the convo.Heir, Prince of Cambridge
