Excellent read about Rondo's future with Boston. Echos my thoughts exactly.

I love Jimmer Fredette to New Orleans. I think he'll find a role their spreading the floor for AD.

Jrue Holiday / Jimmer Fredette
Eric Gordon / Austin Rivers
Tyreke Evans / Aminu
Anthony Davis / Ryan Anderson
Omer Asik

Thats a potential force in a couple of years. Pity the west is loaded  :-X

Just need Rivers/Aminu to develop and Tyreke/Gordon to get anywhere near their career best form.

Yeah Eric Gordon is the one. People thought he'd be the best SG in the league one day...

Don't forget that Evans won ROTY back in 2010 averaging 20-5-5

Injuries I guess have derailed Gordon a bit, especially considering he's such a slasher full fitness is essential.

Looking back on it though, if you were the Pellies, would you rather this?:

Elfrid Payton (would've picked up at #10 in this years draft) / Fredette
Gordon / Rivers
Evans / Aminu
Davis / Anderson
Noel

That's ofc presuming that Evans would've come without Jrue being there, and that they still signed Fredette.

[My Chumps]

Also Lakers signed Boozer. I wonder if that means Randle plays off the bench?

Probably need to see Noel play a bit in the NBA before I could make the call but yeah that lineup looks devastating if Noel reaches his full potential. Asik is no scrub though, so its pretty good either way.

Evans won ROY on a shower Sacremento team where he was basically the only option, I've got a feeling that could be his peak  :-X

I'm loving this. Lakers can't tank because their pick is owed to Phoenix this year. They dont have all that much cap room due to paying Kobe 48 million over 2 years so now they're just picking up leftovers to try and scrape into the playoffs ;D

I think Randle starts, he's NBA ready.

Yeah, true, but you still have to be pretty handy to put up those numbers.

Asik's good, but for the future when they could be in contention I'd definitely take Noel. Jrue's handy though.

Makes sense. Cleveland gotta pull the trigger on that one.

yeah for sure, maybe only have to throw in Bennett is too tempting to refuse

Yep I heard it'd be Wiggins, Bennett, 1st round pick for Love.

Interesting to see how far away Phoenix and Bledsoe are from a deal. http://www.sheridanhoops.com/2014/07/17/free-agency-leftovers-july-17-update-kevin-love-to-cleveland/
Phoenix offering 4 years/48mill and Bledsoe wants the max 5 years/80mill

Think this groundhog day for Phoenix with Bledsoe ... Ama're wanted a max contract with dodgy knees when he cleary was not a franchise player (as much as I was a fan he was not able to lead the team in the playoffs).
Phoenix will not and should not give Bledsoe a max contract even if he is 'mini-Bron'...  ;)  at this stage Dragic is ahead of him ...
