The 2012-2013 NBA Random Thoughts Thread

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

Not next year. Noel won't provide much of anything besides shot blocking in the immediate future, and that's if he's 100%.

Playoffs are still a year or two away for Orlando. Besides, as much as I think Orlando should take Noel if he's there, he might not be there and they need a PG more than anything.

No point guard in this draft is worth taking in the top 4. They need to leave this draft with a 4 or a 2.Either Noah/Bennet or Olapido/Mclemore since they'll have enough cap space to get a Calderon or Isaiah Thomas via free agency. With the cap space they have and the market they're in I don't see them not making the playoffs.

A SG? Afflalo's not going anywhere (and if he did you can definitely write off the playoffs). Add in Harkless /Harris at SF and their wing position is pretty set.

PF they have Nicholson, although if Noel's there, they gotta take him. The other PF's available aren't worth it, not even Bennett, and I doubt Big Baby goes anywhere since his value's so low, so there's that as well.


Don't forget Marcus Smart. His value's already up there and barring a major change of heart, he'll be the top ranked PG entering the draft (and personally I think he's gonna wow everyone at the combine. He's a 6'4'' 220 PG. All he has to do is outplay Burke and he's set). Jameer won't be there much longer and they have nothing after him. Unless they go out and sign a Bledsoe or Jennings, PG is something they must address.

He could be moved to the 3 because Harkless should be coming off the bench next year. It's now a pg's game so odds say they'll take Smart or Burke if they don't get the 1st pick but personally I would just throw my money after Calderon and sell him on the city of Orlando. If I was a betting man I would put my money on them drafting Smart if given the 2nd pick. I just don't think it's the wise thing to do. Hate to sound like a broken record but this is really a shytty draft

Dwight Howard has missed more free throws this season (332) than his teammate Steve Nash has missed in his entire 17-year career (322).

And what about Tobias Harris?

Seen enough of him to know he's fools gold, trade him while his stock is high like we did with Anthony Randolph.

Harrison Barnes would look better in Orlando. Barnes is better than dude is bruh. Harris can't shoot from the outside which tells me he's not a small forward.

 

[Sensitive Blake Griffin]

There is NO ONE in the NBA better than Harrison Barnes.
