I will update this when the schedule is announced in a couple of weeks, but I will open with the new uniforms for the Charlotte Hornets below.

Honest question - which year was worst for first overall picks?

2007
Greg Oden
Jamarcus Russel

2013
Anthony Bennett
Eric Fisher

Waiters- potential all star
Bennett - last years number one
Wiggins/Parker - all star
Thompson - solid player drafted #4 overall

Cleveland will be loaded

Chris grant was a disaster. But griffin seems to have his head on straight. The cavs will have two bonafide superstars in kyrie and whomever they take at #1. I think waiters needs to be traded but he's excellent depth and who knows, maybe blatt can get he and kyrie to play together. They also could get strong depth in exchange for jack and varejao. And in moving these guys, they free up money to land someone huge in free agency.

I think they should trade out of the first pick. Holy hell, if they trade down to Orlando, they could end up with Affalo,embiid, and the 12 where they can land someone like randle. If you pitch to lebron that his supporting cast will be kyrie, affalo, randle, embiid with waiters, Bennett, Tristan Thompson as your depth guys, that's a pretty interesting supporting cast.

LeBron is staying in Miami. I really don't see him going anywhere else.

Napier would be a top 10 pick if he was 6'5 instead of 6'0. Instead he would be excellent replacement for that bum Mario Chalmers.

That bum has a high school, college, and NBA championship.

Other than the idea that they're hanging their hopes on a bunch declining veterans and their owner thinks the way to woo him back is to trade up for Napier?

I don't know how anyone can compare a year with two outrageous busts to two guys who are only going into their second year. I think Fisher and Bennett have more than a good chance of at least being contributing players.

I like Napier. If OKC uses picks he's a player I'd be ok with.

Not sure how I feel about that Mavs/Knicks deal. If Chandler doesn't stay healthy it's terrible for the Mavs. I hate Felton ' s pudgy ass.

Good job, good effort!

Knicks need a new center? Asik is be available. Just get Melo to agree to a S/T. Never was a huge fan of Anthony, but the offense in Houston would be fun to watch.

Really? Does anyone think the Rockets bringing in Melo makes any sense?

Harden and Melo both hold onto the ball. Dwight Howard bitched when he wasn't getting the ball in the post because Harden hogs the ball. At some point, Morey has to stop this silly idea of stockpiling players who don't at all play well with each other and start building a team concept. Morey needs to admit he made a huge mistake with Lin and Asik, has to try to salvage the relationship with Harden and Howard, and I just don't see how Melo accomplishes any of that.
