This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. So Luka Doncic isn't emotionally mature enough to play in our league?

If that's what you like, you do that with your franchise.
Should never be some kind of blanket rule that applies to the whole league.

Would be nice if we kept our pick this year and could move up to get this kid on draft night.

He is probably out of our reach. But he has a scorers and attackers mentality. Would really allow Shai to be a PG and give him a dominant scorer.

He’s tall but I’m not sure if his arms are long like Kawhi’s. They may be long enough though.

As of right now, unless a trade occurs, we'll have 49&53. Guys that could be available that low, whom I wouldn't mind keeping tabs on:

Darius Bazley
Mike Daum
Ethan Happ
Lamine Diane
Moses Brown
Brian Bowen
Jalen McDaniels
Shamorie Ponds
Fletcher McGee
Bennie Boatwright

We are out of the lottery pick, so....one less opportunity for Jerry to find gold.

I'm still big on Ethan Happ and I have made that known in a previous thread.
Would love to draft him in the 2nd round.

Happ & Bazley/Bowen, and I'll be running around in joy.



As far as Rome goes, doubt he nets anything in the teens, maybe early 20s?

Yeah. So it goes. One year's "gold" is another year's bargain bin. Even for Jerry.

I for one am not down on Jerome. But once you get into the teens and 20s, you're almost certainly looking at a project.

Jerry had his shot at Landry Shamet [who went at #26] and so did most of the league. Shamet does everything we hope Rome will someday be able to do. But even The Logo's genius crystal ball gets cloudy.

That's terrible. :(

I wasn't huge on MPJ, but I was willing to take the risk with him dropping. Now, I wouldn't want anything to do with that family. I know Denver fans are "optimistic," but I don't trust it atm. I don't know if it's the genes or bad nutrition, but the track record isn't good.

I think they have a few more siblings in the pipeline.

Jontay should have probably declared for last year's draft. I don't know his plans, but I wish him the best.

If KZ is really gonna be 34th (I doubt it), fantastic.

We can move up in the second to grab him.
Would be awesome.

I sincerely hope this FO doesn’t ignore the 2nd round if that’s the case.
