Re: NBA Draft Day Thread
Somebody needs to be moved, obviously...
We have trillion of guards.
We could send D-Load to OKC, for instance. They lack guards.

Re: NBA Draft Day Thread
I like all the picks, but I still feel like Rosas is going to be maneuvering, too much glut at the guard positions.

How do we take on Rubio’s salary without moving any out?
Rosas is going into luxury to make a run with this crew.
Hahahaha, we will see. At least all the journalists talking about the trade said the same:
17th for Ricky and 2 draft picks.

Re: NBA Draft Day Thread
Yeah I assumed so when it was announced. But so far they only talked about picks. And the guy I quoted said not included like he knows for sure.Domejandro wrote:Shaka_Zulu wrote:Very good question. I'm no cap expert. We plan on not signing Beasley?jpatrick wrote:

There is almost no question that Minnesota sent out James Johnson; it doesn't work otherwise.

This. We are an over the cap team. We have to send out equivalent-ish salary. Unless we sent out like five other guys, moving Johnson is the only thing that makes sense.

I can see Juancho at PF, I see on him great potential, he is a good defender too and can shoot. I hope they keep him in the team.

If true, it speaks volumes of his intelligence or lack there of. To think this squad at this moment in time in the Western Conference could compete at the top is a joke. A bigger joke to think Ricky will get us there. All while in the luxury tax

Re: NBA Draft Day Thread
I'm not sure how anyone can be pleased with the moves Rosas has made in the last 15 minutes. I'm definitely fine with trading #17 to grab an extra pick. But we basically threw it right back in order to draft a guy who may never even be on the roster.
Pick 17 and 33 for 23 and 28. Instead of choosing from a wider selection of front court players (Nnaji) at #17....we basically got the PF leftovers at #28 and still have a hole there because Rosas decided to draft a foreign stash guard with 23.
Fail.

I keep saying, if feels like every third player picked was a Nigerian lol. NBA is filled with ethnic nigerians.

Espn lists Johnson as part of trade.

#17 and #33 for #23, #28, and a starting-caliber Point-Guard.

I love all
Three guys drafted but giving away 33 to move up two spots, annoying and probably unnecessary. Bolmaro better be damn good and show up next season!

High floor, low ceiling with Haliburton. Solid player though.
