The Hawks have got be hurt watching him razzle dazzle for Dallas.

In hindsight, it's hard to imagine having 5'10" Young and 6'7" Luka in front of you with all the info available and choose the wrong guy.

How about Sac passing him up for Bagley? In the last half decade, they've passed up Luka and traded Haliburton.

I wonder what they could have gotten for Fox if theyd kept Hali and drafted Luka.

The draft is hit or miss, you never really know for sure. What would Miami look like right now if they took Maxie instead of Precious, that was about as big of a miss you can have drafting that far down in the 1st round. Everyone misses this is why I was always a supporter of Miami moving their picks for good proven NBA players. Go all in on stars which are what you're hoping you can draft then go fill the team up around them. If you identify a player in the middle or late part of the first you think you can make very good/great, you can trade for that pick if need be.

I love what OKC has done, while all the National Media just keeps talking about, they can't use all those picks and will have to use them as throw ins, they're not looking at what OKC can do, they can always trade picks for picks down the road and keep adding more picks to cash out and still have ammo. It's an incredible situation that OKC has created for themselves.

They really, really nailed the Shai trade. Thats about the best return you can ask for.

OKC has almost too many assets for their current team. Theyre to the point where they can let this team grown and then have ammo to replenish, replace, or restructure their roster down the road.

Doc Rivers was on the Bill Simmons podcast recently talking about Shai, they knew he was going to be good but nobody knew he'd be this good and I'm pretty sure OKC didn't know this was possible either. What wasn't mentioned was a what a great situation that Shai fell into in OKC. He played that first season in OKC with CP3 (they were nearly inseparable) who took him under his wing and showed him what it took to be a high level pro and he got a taste of what the playoffs, to really see what he needed to work on.

Just saw the Draymond punch....this dude is off his rocker. He tries to be sneaky with this **** in an era where there are going to be multiple camera angles with sufficient footage to prove how **** stupid you are.

Suspend him again. Get him out of the league tbh. Repeat offender was coined for guys like him.

That has to hurt...

I wonder what Sac fans were saying about trading Hali

That dude looks like a world beater right now.
