Even if the kid is good, it doesn't make it worthwhile to trade Amir Johnson on the reaction of hoping we can stop Joe Johnson next time. This type of deal would only make sense if Brooklyn and Toronto were the only two teams in the NBA, and the reality is Joe Johnson probably can't be guarded every night anyway.

I personally believe the picks will defensive guys. I think we can stop all the point guard talk since it seems like both GV and Lowry will be back in the fold. Massai said also there was a need for some more shot blocking. Here are my picks
20. Clint Capela
One of the best shot blockers in the draft. African connection with Masai. Casey wanted Bismack a couple years ago as well. Exact same type of player but probably not as raw. Could develop into a Serge Ibaka type player.
37. Damien Inglis
Good "strong" defender. 6'8 1/2 240bls and his only 19.

Charlotte probably wants to continue to win.. so they may prefer a veteran over him anyway.. Hansborough for Biyombo works straight up.
Maybe Amir for Biyombo and Haywood. That actually makes Charlotte better.

He also was given like 5 minutes total all playoffs, which isn't going to help convince Charlotte they want him over their lanky shot blocker.

If you offered that, they'd more than jump.
I'd offer hansbrough or Novak and maybe OKC 2nd round pick.
I'd stay away from Haywood as he has 2 more years on his contract.

Draftexpress has a new scouting report and video analysis of Damien Inglis up. Doesn't seem to be available on youtube yet so I can't embed it.

Oh, they also drafted Cody Zeller last year who should get more minutes as a F/C.
And Hansbrough for Biyombo would save Charlotte a tiny bit of money, and we all know MJ is a cheap bastard.

I was just thinking about how joe johnson posted our wings at will and we had no one big enough to defend him. Well kyle anderson is not only big enough he's a point guard in a small forwards body. We struggled to move the ball during the nets series, and not only will getting kyle anderson help us with our ball movement, Amir Johnson needs to go, with him on the floor the spacing is bad, and it was extremely easy for the nets to double team our players, And honestly amir gets injured every time you blink at him.truuth2 wrote: View Postwell then you're stupid.
2nd Bold: Do you even watch games? Amir has to be the most STURDY, Play-through-pain, tough guy we have on this team. NO ONE goes through the beating he does and still refuses to come off the court.
3rd Bold: You gave a bunch of half-hearted assertions with nothing to back it up. The eye test suggest you are totally wrong in your evaluation of Amir. The advanced stats suggest you are totally wrong in your evaluation of Amir. But the crime you've committed is assuming your opinion is superior enough to suggest an ad hominem response as appropriate. You must think you're hot shit.The Baltic Beast is unstoppable!

Masai said he will take the best talent available, but said adding a bigger wing and a rim protecting big man are biggest needs.
