Message: [QUOTE="Melancer46, post: 2277116, member: 1674"] What has changed to make them try harder this year versus last year? I can understand to a point why people are more optimistic about them this season than last talent-wise, though I don't think they've really improved so much as their competition has gotten worse. I guess we'll see what happens but I expect that pick to still be top 5 when it's all said and done, and I wouldn't be surprised if they end up in the top 3. In the very least, I think the Lakers pick is riskier than the Nets pick. I guess we'll have to wait and see how Kyrie does in Boston, but I think right now at least, he's worse than Isaiah. It's certainly not a "Boston got a superstar for a nice role player" move. I would definitely rather have Kyrie than Isaiah long-term, but I just don't really get using the Nets pick to possibly get worse in the short-term. The Nets pick alone could end up being better than Kyrie in the long-term too. [/QUOTE]
