I'm not sure the Triangle is outdated. The Warriors certainly have some Triangle in their sets. The Lakers won a chip not long ago using the Triangle.

I do agree that it requires certain players, but there are plenty of facilitating bigs and sharpshooters in today's game that would make it a feasible offense.

It's not.  Funnily enough, even though it goes away from more traditional players and positions (true point guards, especially), it does put a premium on shooting and spacing ;). How about that, lol ;D?

I could see the following two trades involving Denver.

Knicks get Kenneth Faried
Denver gets no 4 pick

Kings get Ty Lawson
Denver gets no 6 pick and Darren Collison.

Denver becomes the Sixers of the West.

As for the Knicks, I could then see them going after Greg Monroe and having a front court of Faried and Monroe to go with Melo.

I think you must have left something out from NY's side. If most think they wouldn't trade the #4 for Lawson and Faried, then I can't imagine they would trade it for just Faried.

I think a lot of people here are overvaluing the 4th pick.  From all indications, the 4th pick will be Mudiay who could be just as much of a bust as he could be a star (guess you could say that about any draft pick.)

I think the Knicks getting a very solid player in Faried for the no 4 pick is a very fair trade for both teams if Denver is looking to rebuild.

If I am Denver, why on earth would I trade both Faried AND Lawson for one draft pick which may or may not pan out?

I don't think Mudiay ends up becoming the next Magic Johnson.

No, not really. Especially because Faried isn't "very solid." He's a very flawed role player who might be better served coming off the bench. He's got no real offensive game, is too small to play center, and isn't a good defender. He's purely hustle and athleticism. That's not worth a top lottery pick.

In my opinion Faried is not as good as Sully. Zach Lowe agrees. New York won't trade the fourth pick unless they get a very good player or very good picks.

I say we trade Sully for pick #1, then AB for pick 5. Next we turn around a trade Zeller for the 6th pick. Now we package pick 1, 5, 6 , and 16 for Joakim Noah.
