Have to give Mempis credit, they invest in guys they like and it works out most often IMO.

Gotta say, what a disastrous coverage of this draft. Bobby Marks looks Piss%d. No airtime for him and Jay Bilas might as well not be there either. You have Woj leaking picks still. Uggh.

Like I said earlier, TNT has to get it back.

I think via the Ivey negotiations they knew how much the Pistons loved Duren and it went like this...

Knicks: We want 5, who do you want at 11?
Pistons: Maybe there's a deal if Duren is there.
Knicks: Ivey just went 5, you still game?
Pistons: No deal, we love Ivey.
Knicks: Well if we can get Duren, would you take Kemba?
Pistons: Sure.

Knicks: If Dieng is there, would you give us a few picks for 11 if you keep 12?
Thunder: Sure.

Knicks: Want a bunch of picks for Duren if you can get Williams at 15?
Hornets: Sure.

Knicks: We got Duren, want to take Kemba?
Pistons: Sure.

Hornets: Don't release the details yet! I got screwed! Let's re-do this!

LOL. Knicks gonna Knick.

Woj did report that DET sent out the 2025 MIL pick in the Duran deal, so I'm holding out hope.

Next years DEN 1st plus 4 2nds to dump Kemba would be insane.

Yeah if we get the Bucks 1st it's what..?

'25 Bucks 1st plus 2 of OKC's picks for 11, 4 2nds and Kemba?

That's not bad.

Depending on the conditions of the OKC picks, if the trade is how you say, it's more than ok.

Let's just hope we miss paying Brunson - but if we don't - we have extra picks to attach to his contract to clear space to overpay someone else.

I'm hardly even watching at this point. If my smart TV isn't smart enough that I can ask it to just mute Stephen A. Smith, what good is it?

(I will say this: the shot of the interviewer holding a box of Kleenex during the Beauchamp interview was very sweet.)

So OKC basically traded Sengun and a first for Dieng

I think we're going to overpay Brunson, Kyrie, Tyus or Sexton...

How was it so expensive for OKC to get 11 but so cheap for Detroit to get 13

Draft tier
Stops at 11
12 is a tier on its own
13 is another tier

Most likely is everyone wants Presti to overpay with his warchest.

And then we swapped the '23 Nuggets 1st with the '25 Bucks 1st and used 4 seconds to dump Kemba it's seeming.

Favourite part of this broadcast: "X Gon' Give It To Ya" bangs, or slaps, or whatever the hell cool kids say now. One of my all-time fave songs.
