Swap Oladipo for McElmore?In theory that looks good, however you still have not addressed outside shooting...which they really need.
Good for him.Nuggets hired Brian Shaw.
That's fine cause that's what I think the Celtics will need. Doc was the right man at the time because he could bring the vets together for the ultimate goal. But now we'll be building around young egos like Rondo and Fab Melo. They might need someone to kick their ass every once in a while.Hollins seems like an old school guy that is not the type of coach teams are looking for these days.
This is true. A perfect example of this happened a couple of years ago when the Jazz essentially chose Deron Williams over Jerry Sloan.The day of the asskicker coach is gone in the NBA. You have a few left, but with the way players run the league now it is pretty much player's coaches only.
That's the same thing I said.I didn't see it, particularly in the tournament. I'll pass and take a guy in Oladipo who I know will give high effort all the time.
If I were them I'd take Oladipo and do a happy dance. Any time you trade down in the NBA draft the talent diminishes very quickly. I know this is perceived as a draft lacking a star which is why they probably are wanting to trade down. My guess is they really want to trade down and take a PG. They will probably end up drafting someone like Michael Carter-Williams and get a huge bust.[HR][/HR] Adrian Wojnarowski @WojYahooNBA 2m
Orlando has been doing a great deal of work on players in late lottery-mid 1st round range, weighing possible deals out of No. 2 spot.
From what I'm seeing, the most likely scenario for them is to trade the #2 to the LAC for Bledsoe and their 1st round pick. That would be a solid haul in a draft with no clear cut superstar to choose. Plus Hennigan has a good track record of grabbing talent from outside the lottery.If I were them I'd take Oladipo and do a happy dance.
