I didn't say it did. I just said with the current roster we needed to take a risk. I like our chances better now than I did. That's all.

Most people believe that Leonard has a higher upside that Hill did. Add to that Bertans and Lorbek and it's a good deal IMO.

I said blowing it up because you would think they'd have to at least move RJ and Blair to get a decent PF/C through a trade.

If they are trying to give it one last hurrah, there is no way they can let this offseason pass without adding a decent, starting caliber PF/C.

I mean, I guess they could go with what they have currently, if they want the 5th - 8th seed. But to fill their biggest need, they will need to trade someone of value.

For all RJ sucked at, he was at least reliable from the 3 point line the majority of the season. If they end up without RJ and Hill, they will have lost a lot of the threat from outside. None of the rookies are going to come in with the kind of range to spread the floor, so this almost creates another lineup problem.

Neal, Manu, Anderson, Bonner (until the playoffs), Novak, potentially Green, Quinn, and even Parker made 35% of his threes last year. I'm not too worried about having shooters. It's more about defense, toughness, and versatility.

Watching the post-draft press conference... I'm looking forward to seeing Leonard in crappy local commercials. Actually I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do period, he has ridiculous hands and wingspan.

Yeah, I guess I underestimated Parker's improvement there. If he can keep that up, they might be okay.
