It is a unique time in nba.
Lots of bottom dwellers have been bad for a long time and are looking to finally get ahead while there were 3 lottery teams besieged by serious injuries - Miami, Indiana, and OKC.
Then you have young playoff teams making big strides in NO, Milwaukee, and Boston.
Might be a good time to yang while the majority of league ying.
If plan is to move forward with Knight, Bledsoe and 13 could be an attractive package to some teams.
But I still generally agree with your premise. Feels like a weird transition period for a lot of teams.

Teams like Boston, Indiana, OKC, Heat, king, Detroit are the type of team that will trade their picks.
Again, I am hoping you and DanH are right and we some how get the #4 but as it stands, I do not see it and feel confident ( willing to bet) that it will not happen.

Don't forget dragic was leaving anyways. I thought they did fantastic to get return they did....granted they did trade that Lakers pick which is now 2016 top 3 protected.
PHX also has tonnes of cap room this summer.
But yeah, I agree I could see them stepping back.
Bledsoe and 13 certainly more appealing than DD or KL IMO.

Kl + jv for the 4? May also take a draft pick. That trade makes the knicks a much better team so then you could trake the knicks/denver pick and dd for another high pick or young player. Potentially could get russel and wcs in the draft.Sunny ways my friends, sunny ways
Because its 2015

You guys.......
The top 4-5 prospects in this draft all have star potential. Please explain to me why you think this is an average draft class, from what I have read, it lacks a KD or Lebron at the top, but has all the makings of a good draft class after that.
