    I think the jury is still out on whether Walker, Henderson and Bismack can be long term starters for us. It is too early to give up on them.

    Down to 2 teams as trade partners per Chris Broussard of ESPN
    Chris Broussard ‏@Chris_Broussard

    sources: Charlotte talking with Cavs and Rockets about trading #2 pick. not sure if teams making separate offers or if it's a 3-way trade.

    Andy Katz ‏@ESPNAndyKatz

    Lot of ifs out there right now but if CLT takes Beal at No. 2 then sources say look for possible Cleve deal. Cavs then take TRob for CLT.

    Taking MKG, I still don`t see where the offense is going to come from.

    All the offense will be from the perimeter players. They have no one who can score inside. That is why I wanted Robinson. MKG will probably be a good player though. It is just going to be another long season.....

    They had no one who could score from the outside last season.

    They're not, dude. Let it go. There was never any chance right from the start that Walker ever should be a starting PG in the NBA. At absolute best he was always going to be a backup. Henderson and Biyombo both have value as rotation players, but neither has any hope of ever being even league average starters at their positions.

    You are so much smarter than all the NBA scouts and sports writers who had those guys ranked as lottery picks.

    Vastly smarter, yes. But even someone like you should be able to look through previous NBA drafts and see that most of the players in the lottery each year do not end up being quality starters. Walker is small and not an elite shooter or passer, Henderson isn't above average at anything although he's pretty decent overall, and Biyombo can't even catch a pass in the paint consistently. There is no need to wait to judge those players. They'll hopefully improve some, but you already know what you have, which isn't much. And for the record, I don't remember any analysts suggesting that any of those three were going to be above average NBA starters.
