How can we best exploit Bryan Colangelo this offseason

[3inthekeon]

Chad Fords BIg Board from '06. His top 5 were Thomas, Aldridge, Bargs,Roy, Gay.

Interestingly, he actually had Rondo 6, Lowry 10, Millsap 13, way higher than they were actually drafted.

NBa.com has the consensus picks for most drafts.

Here is the one for 2006:

7 out of the 8 sites listed had Bargs go #1.

9, Ross, wright could probably get the deal done for 4. They will need guys who can be role players and play d to fit around whoever their core is of okafor, embid, saric, their pick. With all of those guy being in the front court, they will need a floor general type of pg, and Ross would open things up running off of screens.

Bargs was the consensus to be picked #1, which is different from consensus #1.

Most mocks guess how teams will pick, not how much they themselves like the players. Most everyone seemed to know BC loved Bargs.

I wouldn't be surprised if management at Philly wants cojo instead of Wright. Thinking that they want the more proven guy with playoff experience etc, to accelerate their rebuild. It would feel weird getting rid of cojo with all the marketing they have done around him, being Canadian and all, but I would consider it for the 4th and maybe one of their seconds, or prospects.

^Good point 3inthekeon

I think there were whispers they might pick Aldridge coz him and bosh were friends and practicing together that summer even though they played same position. Im sure Bosh wanted Aldridge.

Ross is going to have to grow more before he has trade value. I doubt anyone would have offered him that kind of money so I doubt theyd take him now.

still need a year of wright to see how he progresses or we'll be stuck using the pick we got trying to get a guy like cojo again.

But remember, these mocks were trying to predict what COLANGELO himself would do. And no small part of that prediction was based on his tendency for 'thinking outside the box', his love for Euro players, etc. If you're talking about who was viewed as the best actual talent, short term or long, Bargs was nowhere near a consensus.

(Side note - it's pretty hilarious looking back at these draft experts talking about what incredible talents Tyrus Thomas and Adam Morrison are.)

We all know BC is
Drafting Dragan Bender #1 right?

Chad Ford routinely goes back and tinkers with his big boards to make himself look more intelligent

never suggested BC was a scrub....but I do know three things

1.) BC likes to make moves

2.) BC has a TONNE of assets

3.) Masai could get a first round pick for an inanimate carbon rod.

I totally remember this. Bosh was definitely against the Bargs pick and even slighted dissed Bargnani leading up to the draft, with a quote, paraphrasing "...we don't need another finesse 4". I think Bosh wanted LMA or a wing, like Gay.

he was vocal in his desire for aldridge. he didn't like playing center
