PF/C Bam Adebayo PF Niko Jovic PF PJ Tucker PF Kyle Anderson
SF Andrew Wiggins SF Jaime Jaquez Jr SF Pelle Larrson SF Haywood Highsmith
SG Duncan Robinson SG Alec Burks
PG/SG Tyler Herro PG Terry Rozier

Roster is too wing and PF heavy with no roster spots open. I see another move tomorrow

On another note do you want us to keep our pick this off-season or rather get it over with and give it to OKC?

If we have 2 picks in this draft I wonder what position we target along with PG.

****. That's who I really wanted. Damnit man.

Beal and 3 FRPs > Wiggins, PJ Tucker and 1 FRP. They prioritized tax savings over asset building. Wiggins and Beal's contracts come off the books at the same time.

The beal contract would have been crippling. Those 3 first were garbage late picks almost 2nds. The 2025 pick we got even 1-10 protected was more valuable in a loaded draft. We opened the door to trade 3 1st. Wiggins also does not have a stupid NTC, fits the need at SF, and has a 2026 opt out

We're just as handicapped with this Wiggins contract, also Beal has a 26 opt out as well. This league values quantity over quality when it comes to picks. The basketball fit is overstated this team is still way off from competing in this conference.

The difference is that Beal definitely won’t be opting out. Wiggins likely will.

Absolutely pay out the pick. What a luxury having a pick regardless in this draft. We will make the playoffs with Wiggins. We’ll be free from OKC pick. Watch us have somewhere at or near the same pick we pay out OKC this year with the Warriors pick. We’ll have 2026,2028,2029,2030,2031,2032 after we pay out

Still hoping AirP sticks around, or atleast graces us with his presence from time to time.

Even if Wiggins doesn't opt out we still have a max spot available in 2026 is what I was told. Unless I'm misunderstanding.

Nah. Those Suns picks are gonna be late 20s. I'd rather have one pick in the teens in a really deep draft then 3 bad ones. We got Bam, Herro and Ware around there. I'm looking forward to see who they pick in this year draft. Hopefully a point guard

2 of those picks were future picks. For this upcoming draft, chances are the Warriors play their way into that pick being closer or in the 20s. I would even bet that the Minnesota pick will be better than the Warriors pick this draft. Quantity over Quality. Having 5 1st round picks to play with 2027+ would've put us in a better situation for the future.

This feels cheap for Ingram... Just looked up browns stats and he doesn't do chit anymore. Dude averages 8 PPG on 43% shooting lol.

Got it. Was kind of intrigued by the thought of having 2 picks in a deep draft.

Boys,

With the small fish (Luka/Buttwart) now out of the way, it's time to get to the main course.

Mama's accepting offers. Send your highest and best.

All they really wanted was a pick for him. He was going to walk. They might keep Brown though since Murray got hurt

Someone explain to me why we traded for 39 year old PJ Tucker. Is he going to play PG for us?

UD role I guess. Its silly but Pat does get sentimental about those type of guys.
