TT is a PF, Porter is a SF.

Did you actually watch the playoffs or were you too busy spamming this thread while games were going on? Chris Bosh was abused in the post in nearly every series. It was brutal. Gasol is a perfect fit for the Heat, and the fact that you call him a scrub tells me you have no clue about the guy.

Unless the Gasol youre speaking is Marc, the Heat will continue to have issues inside.

I don't know judging by that GIF of Bosh has no "inside" issues at all.

Pau Gasol.



You clearly don't know **** about Heat basketball.

He is not what the Cavs need. They need a guy that can score. So if they do take a C it better be someone else.

Mclemore is safest scorer option available... but they got waiters

That is why I like Porter. Also if you believe what is being said Mclemore isn't doing so hot this off season.

Although the NBA Finals have dominated the headlines for good reason, it's important to remember that the 2013 NBA Draft is now only nine days. For the majority of the league's 30 teams, the draft is still the best way to build a winner, even if the method's success often depends on luck more than anything else. With such little time left to go before teams select players, draft workouts can play a major role in deciding where prospects will end up.

Back in March, around the time of the NCAA Tournament, Kansas Jayhawks freshman shooting guard was considered a potential No. 1 overall pick on the strength of his shooting stroke and scoring skills. A few questionable performances called that rating into question, but McLemore has still appeared to be one of the top two prospects based on his reputation and demonstrable abilities.

However, some lackluster workouts may be adversely affecting his draft position. In his latest mock draft for ESPN.com Insider, Chad Ford has McLemore going fifth to the Phoenix Suns (via EOB). Yet it's the reasons why he's fallen that are most alarming:

McLemore remains in the top 5, but I'm starting to have my doubts. I love the talent. But his lack of preparation for the draft is hurting him. Multiple sources told me that his workout in Phoenix was not impressive; he wasn't in shape, and he struggled to keep up in the workout. I heard similar things in Orlando. McLemore is in a tug-of-war right now between adviser Rodney Blackstock and his agency Rivals. It's kept McLemore out of the gym and for the most part, out of workouts. How much will all of this affect the draft stock? I'm told teams are worried. But how worried? Enough for one of the most talented players in the draft to slide further? If the Suns pass on McLemore, both C.J. McCollum and Michael Carter-Williams are possibilities here

If they wanted to make Waiters the 6th man I wouldn't be too pissed off if the team gets better. They need a SF pretty bad though.

[ludo21]

funny thing about him coming here to PHX is his workout was TERRIBLE here. Although with his talent I doubt the Suns pass on him.

Carter-Williams is my least favorite prospect btw this year that is projected so highly

If the Cavs are so high on Alex Len, I don't know why they don't make the trade for Shawn Marion and Dallas's 13th pick. Then package the 13th and 19th to move up for him or Porter. Or at the worse draft Len number at 1, Shabazz Muhammad at number 13, and PBA Tony Mitchell at 19.

shabazz is going to be a steal IMO, guy is getting a bad wrap because of his dad.

should be a fun draft night for me as a Suns fan, 2 picks and a GM who has no attachment and wants to get young and in a hurry.

You actually think Chris Bosh helped them win a championship this year. Whatever expertise you think you have on the subject, trust me, you don't.

I agree about Shabazz. Do you think he can be a SF in the NBA?

I honestly don't think I ever watched the NBA draft. I might this year. I've watched the lottery balls before though.

i have once or twice, not that exciting, but as a Suns fan I am intrigued this year more than in the past.

I think he will be a Rudy Gay type big guard/ SF.

See that is my thinking. You make the trade for Marion, who is off the books after this year. When he is in the game Waiters is the SG, then he takes over for Marion at SF.

Meh. You could get games like Bosh had throughout the playoffs out of guys that would cost half the price. And you have to completely ignore the Pacers series to even begin to make the argument that Bosh was more an asset than a detriment to the Heat's championship run.

Problem with Shabazz is that he has Character concerns. He isn't a team player, just look at how he treated the coach at UCLA and his team.

I think he is worth the risk at 13 if Cleveland took the salary dump from Dallas.

I don't think bosh had anything to do with spurs missing 3 free throws in the final minute. Just one of those go in and everyone is talkin about how bosh got abused in the paint throughout the playoffs. One can argue he put them in position to win that game? That would be Lebron and Allen. You could say his rebounds were clutch? Only cause duncan was sitting.

And he sure as **** didn't help in game 7.
