Bone reminds me of Westbrook

Curry would have been a more efficient player to model his game after.

I remember Gilbert also dumped a lot of cash to buy the Kay Felder pick. He's always willing to spend for draft picks.

Selling Porter makes sense. I hope it means we're going to spend more money this offseason.

So we traded 30 and 45 for 37, 57, a 2023 second and $5 million?

Any other person that didn't have what you have as a signature or our history in conversation, I'd take as a joke in good nature. But it's obvious what you said is steeped in passive-aggressive homophobia. I mean, come on... really???

This front office is absolutely useless. Ed is completely incompetent and does not deserve a major role with any team in this league. We had a shot as Bol Bol twice and completely fumbled it. I really hope this doesn’t come back to burn us but I have this really bad feeling it will.

It wont. Not for Bol Bol, he's not worth the pick. He's probably really injured. Porter on the other hand might sting later. He's got upside.

I like Sekou and lituanian guy. Let'see what we have with Bone.

Overall, I'm pretty happy with how the draft turned out. We got a steal at 15 and two other good developmental projects (granted I say this having only just watched YouTube videos of them for the first time).

What is somewhat perplexing though is what we gave up to get those guys in the second round. I can understand our FO accepting 4 second rounders and $5M for the 30th pick (even though I was sort of hoping we would take KPJ and keep him). But we then spent two of those second rounders to move from 45 to 37 when in reality the guy we traded up for probably would still have been available at 45. And then spent $2M and another of those second rounders to get the 57th pick when surely the selling price should have been either cash or a second rounder, and not both.

So I can't help but feel we overpaid a little but hey, if Sirvydis and Bone end up becoming serviceable rotation players I'll retrospectively applaud what Ed has done.

So uninspired by this damn draft....team has absolutely no freakin direction. Make moves like trading for Blake Griffin for now but wont spend money to surround him with talent. Make draft picks that are no where close to making an impact now and sell off draft picks for cash.....but yeah, this team is in win now mode. Pick a damn side and stick to it.
