Here's the rectangle logo they didn't show at the press conference.  ESPN is using it in their graphics and the board with all the numbers and names on-stage in NYC is also using it...

Getting rid of Dalembert and his contract and getting Redd?

Sign me up.

godfathers contract is not an issue...hell its the reason hes so tradeable right now

[reese125]

his contract is still a very big issue whether you want to believe it or not

him sucking ass is only one issue. the other issue is another team taking on an extra $24 million on their payroll + another close to $4 million with his trade kicker unless he waives it; which he wont because hes a stubborn son-of-a-bitch who thinks hes better than he is and would probably want to go to a contender

matching salaries up for $30 million is not easy, and even harder when youre talking about a player like Dalembert

the desirable contract is next year and blows up like the world trade

[phattymatty]

so do those sleeves come with that short sleeve hoodie or separately?

[ice grillin you]

i was wondering if the skateboard comes with it

[MDS]

shut up you old pos

[SD_Eagle5]

Jrue Holiday meh...project pick

I wanted Lawson or Maynor

[ice grillin you]

meh pretty much sums it up...but i didnt think holiday would be here so id definitely rather have him than anyone else on the board

[reese125]

yeah that gets a big MEH

jay b threw out about 6 negatives on the guy before saying he was a top 10 pick

[BigEd76]

big meh, but at least it isn't Mullens

[ice grillin you]

im so tired of them having tweener players or guys who play the same position

is brand a center
is lou williams a point
whos gonna play the three thad or iguodala

and now a draft pick who has no position


in that sense it would have been a relief ot get a lawson there...at least you know what they got

[PhillyPhreak54]

Boooo!

Should have taken Lawson.

[Drunkmasterflex]

I'm pretty sure he is a point, but I do agree with you they have too many players that are tweeners.  I guess this pick is as good as they could do, they certainly won't be competing in the east this season.  I guess they might as take someone with a high ceiling.  

[reese125]

this is starting to bother me more by the minute and more-so now hearing Lawson and Teague going consecutively afterwards--both with very good speed and one being a combo guard with size to defend

now once again you have a non-penetrating PG---farg eddie jordans system

the hope is maybe he can turn into a point but hes a tweener all the way....his handle is not good enough to be a point and his shooting not good enough to be a two

bilas says his ceiling is high but then says hes not explosive or athletic...where exactly is the ceiling then

most scouts seem to say he could have went much higher so ill take their word for it and agree he was at least the best guy to take at that point...but thats the extent of my enthusiasm for the pick
