I must be the only one who isn't that high on Porzingis.

I know he's young, huge and very talented,  but he's a stick figure and im just not convinced he has the killer assassin mentality that you want in a star.   I feel he is more Kevin Love then Kevin Garnett from a mental / emotional standpoint.

Theoretically, and assuming the 2018 Brooklyn pick stays, Porzingis would end up as part of a 3 player rotation at the 4/5 (Porzingis, Horford, Draftee).

Durant is a stick figure too. What does it matter

Porzingis is also 7'3"  - believe it or not you kinda want him to be a stick figure.

A 7'3" superstar big on the same court as a 5'9" premium scoring guard.

Oh the possibilities  8) ;D

Untouchable. I might consider #3, but no way I'd give up BRK 18.

I'm glad that everyone thinks that the Lakers trade won't affect Brooklyn next year, I'm worried that it makes them better

I am very confident it makes them worse. Lopez was the only player who made them look somewhat NBA team. Losing him is huge. Russell is mediocre and will take time away from Lin who was quite good last year.

Yeah, he's a basketball player, not an NFL player or an MMA fighter.

Yep. Hopefully we can land #1 in 2018, so we can trade it for a couple of less valuable picks.
If we trade the #1 pick for two picks, we have two chances to try and get a number one pick!!

I'm not that high on him either. I'm not sure he will become a perennial all-NBA guy. He may make an ASG, but he's not an MVP-caliber player.

I just don't trust his knees for some reason, I think he's gonna have problems with them eventually. Too tall and lanky.
