I really like what the Pelicans have done in adding Daniels and Liddell...but man that backcourt is getting crowded. Someone's gotta go, right?

He seems not remotely ready to help, but I love taking a chance on a guy with this brash confidence who will now have a major chip on his shoulder that he slid this far.
I see you guys don't own your 2023 and 2026 2nds so my guess is we are looking at Dallas sending 2024 and 2025 2nds to Sac?

24 and 28 is what I am hearing.

Oh that's just rubbing it in lol

It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't some talent on the board, but Jaden Hardy and/or EJ Liddell?

Agreed, was thinking of Giving the Kings like a B for the draft with Murray.

After this second round Cash fest, D-

Just think, by '24 you'll have probably forgotten all about this trade. So when the Kings sell that pick for cash, it won't hurt quite so much.

Meh, Moussa was about four on my list of still available, but at 43, can't argue it much

He could end up showing as such, but I'd rather have taken a gamble on Foster or Lofton with those left

Good thinking. Picks and players come and go. But money? Money last forever.

So now that we have had some time to digest the impactful moves and picks... how do we see things playing out this off-season?

I’m sure Vivek would like to see some second rounders going off on the court for sure . But that money in the pocket for sure will make Vivek very happy too.

In the pocket? I assumed he'd just throw it into the giant pit in his basement where he keeps the rest of his cash?

Kamagate to Denver is a nice long term thing for them. Still not sure about Watson going #30 but I did like Braun at #21.

K_chile22 · Post #718 » by **K_chile22** » Fri Jun 24, 2022 3:58 am

Was hoping Houston could buy in and stash Kamagate. Had him as a first rounder

FYI...

Pistons at $36 Million in cap space
Knicks at $14 Million in cap space
