since both of your lottery picks are out of the top three, is there any chance that you use either or both of those picks to get the #1 or #2 spot? and since your PG position is easily your weakpoint, what will you do to try to improve that area of your game?

what are your plans for the upcoming draft? well I won't pretend I wasn't disappointed to not get a top 2 pick. However there is certainly talent to be had in the 5 and 6 picks, we may make a bid to move up form some of the picks, or even trade out. 5 rookies would be nice, but some of the later picks outside the lotteyr might be moved for veteran's or future picks. If the right offer comes around 5 or 6 might be moved as well. |

As to PG, there is some concern at the position, we hope for an improvement from Kyle Lowry, but we will also explore options in the draft, free agency and trade to look for help at the position. We will almost certainly add at least 1 player at the position. |

if you were to trade either the 5th or 6th pick, what position would you be looking for in return?

Tough to say, probably PG, but if a true All-Star calibre player is offered any position would be worth it. C's are tough to come by and we have 2 players we are comfortable with there, so Probably looking more at backcourt players.

probably conley, not sure he's worth a pick there, I might try to get one through FA or trade and just draft BPA, I also could slide Foye to PG if needed

Not so great, didn't expect 1 and , but certainly thought we had a very good chance of getting at least 1 of the 2.
Still having the 5 and 6 picks will certainly help this team.

who are you hoping to get in the draft with one of your picks? No decisions have been made yet, we'll probably go BPA. Though if Oden or durant falls we'll draft them |

difficult to say, Oden probably has more value, but Durant fits my team a bit better.
Honestly I'd probably try to trade down with #2
