The good thing is we have two lottery picks thanks to the Knicks and Nuggets missing the playoffs from the Dwight Coward trade.

Yeah man, Golden State against the Clippers is going to be so entertaining. Especially after Klay called out Griffin about flopping on a local radio station.

Did you see this, Laker fan tried the shit outta Howard. LOL

Yeah man born and raised all 32 years. We have some good pieces already in Harris, oladipo and vuuuch! We severely tanked this season having vuc and Harris out sooooo long with "supposed" injuries. I take Smart b4 wiggins or Parker.. We need a point guard and I like Harris in the sf/pf spot already.. Yeah I saw that Howard clip, so funny how orlando fans got flack for dissing Howard when laker fans were waaaaay worse after leasing him for only one season..

Why would anyone not buy the SH-AWD model if you care about mpg?
How is that possible? Don't AWD almost always use more gas?

past AWD systems have been HEAVY.
thats where fuel economy goes out the window, a 4000lb car is just too heavy to get great gas mileage.

im not sure what the new SHAWD system weighs, but if I remember correctly,yesterday they said they dropped the weight by 20-30% making the car weigh the same as the FWD model.

watch the unveiling of it again. they def. gave specs and how much the system dropped by

I like Smart, but would have liked to have him even more had he declared last year. He messed up his stock by staying another year. This draft, he's probably in the top 5-8 range pick. Our pick will come before then, I think at worst it's a top 4 overall pick, Parker, Wiggins, Embiid and Exum might be the top 4 in this draft. Also, Parker and Wiggins have more potential to be franchise changers. I love Harris, Voochi Mane and Dipo, but besides being great role players, neither of them has that Superstar potential.

I know we need a PG, but I think you draft the best player in our situation. We could probably get a PG with our second pick.

Hmm. Either way that's pretty cool, that was one of the biggest downsides of owning a AWD car. I've also heard insurance is more for AWD though? Hopefully they don't pull a Hyundai and exaggerate the MPGs lol.

the thing is they test at a constant.
real world isnt so constant.

and thats the problem with people relying on what they state.
there are tons of different variables that account for gas mileage.

If they did, it is a pretty sad state that they only chose to exaggerate by 2-4 MPGs lol.

needs to set up an "if then statement"

if these requirements are met; then you will get this MPG.

if not; all bets are off.

This is especially true for hybrid vehicles. I don't remember which car, but there are rants from owners saying how it's impossible to get the advertised MPG (and this was off by over 10 MPG, not just a few).

We use our second pick to get a point guard and we are just getting another jameer :/. I know rules are you pick the best of what's available.. I guess I'm still upset we didn't pick up trey Burke last year and I still feel he will be the breakout star of the last draft.

Burke or MCW would have been nice, but they were a gamble at #2. Depending who we grab, there is a chance Oladipo can be the PG for our team. I don't really like that because I think he's better suited at SG, but it's still an option.

Either way, in Hennigan I trust.

Amen to that!! Still not sold on carter Williams though.. His perimeter shooting for this season was at like 17 percent or something nauseating like that.. He padded his stats in the paint and on the line shooting two... It was some number like 70 out of 350 some odd jump shots he made this season.. Plus his team sucked worse than the tanking magic

Yeah I know, but still, 16/6/6 on the season is not to shabby. Plus he has great size for a PG to be able to get steals and rebounds. He just needs to get a consistent shot.
