Checking in from the Q. Looking like a pretty blah crowd. Tristan was warming up so I hope he’s back tonight.

This is a very awkward position as a fan. Of course I don’t want to root for the Cavs to lose, but I want a lottery pick and I sure as hell don’t want to catch the Heat or Bulls in round one. I guess my biggest hope is for them to make moves like trading veterans and playing young guys that will cause the team to lose a lot of games, but still get in good experience for the future.

I’m taking it as a win-win. Either our rookies gel/are better than we thought and we get an 8th, or we get another lottery pick. Not bad, especially if this draft is as deep as everyone hopes.

Alright. I’m actually glad that this was from an impact and it (hopefully) shouldn’t be a sign of things to come. It would suck if he was concussion prone throughout his entire career.

Trade Sessions and use that pick for a wing, and that’s not a bad team. Assuming Tigger can improve and score some of Jamison’s points.

That is soooo unlikely though. But if we did we’d jump easily to the top ten in the future power rankings.

Even if we go 10-31 (worst case scenario in an extremely negative projection), we’re still going to be slotted around 8 come lottery time.
This is true. I looked at the schedule and we probably have 12 or 13 more wins at least. Everything changes if we trade important pieces or get injuries.

The elephant in the room is to get a Top 3 ish pick someone needs to go down or Jamison needs to get traded. I think shipping him out would cause a much bigger drop off than dealing Sessions.
It would. Trading Varejao for a lottery pick would be ideal, honestly.

I thinks its more likely a team in the playoff hunt gives us their 1st this year, then miss the playoffs, ala the Jiri Welch debacle.
Yanks are the Empire. Red Sox are the Empire with PR claiming they are the Rebellion.
Sure, but the trades wants don’t match up with those teams. Teams who want Andy are all going to be contending teams, not teams drafting in the top 10.
I know. I’m not saying it’ll happen, just that it would be ideal.

When Sessions gets traded for a mid to late first rounder, we will have to have 2 analysis posts about it. One from me and one from John. We will then have a battle royale to decide who is right.

No need to move up. We can get a solid player that late in this draft. Terrance Jones, Quincy Miller, James McAdoo
