London Bridge in Lake Havasu...of course we went there in October last year and there was a swingers convention....so you might want to wait 11 months before jumping. :D

I lived in Havasu before moving to Flag. You're not going to do much damage to yourself jumping off London Bridge and it's 200 miles away.


True. More of a PSA that if you're down with girls in pasties go to Havasu in October...plus they have a bridge.

The warriors plans of adding one star for a championship run might have just gone out the window.

The only thing I want is for us to come away with a star. That's almost a guarantee when you normally have the top pick, unfortunately this is one of the few drafts where it isn't. That absolutely sucks.

Imagine if this draft had a
Zion
KAT
Irving
Anthony Davis
Wall
Rose
Lebron

Etc.

There will be a star in this draft I just have no idea where and I don't think he's in the top 3. This is pure Wolves basketball.

If you look at the list you provided, the majority are the athletic prospects. Towns and Irving are more skillful than athletic.

I will say that just based on what we think we know about Rosas and Co that I'd be disappointed if it's not a frenetic bunch of moves. But at same time willing to give them a lot of benefit of the doubt if they don't

I saw "swingers" and "london bridge" in the same sentence and spit up my drink. Well played. Well played. :lol:

Ok with Clay out with injury again, time to trade down with Hornets. Warriors are taking Edwards.

Hopefully Detroit isn't thinking of combining nos. 7 and 16 to move up with the Wolves.

Heh I doubt they’re gonna trade up. They’ll take whoever drops as it’s less likely that’ll be Edwards now

It must be lotto protected. Curious for HOU as Ariza was only guaranteed for 2.8 mil.
Lottery protected DET pick not super likely to convey any time soon.

Reminds me of when Shams tweeted the Warriors were “moving on from Russell trade discussions” the day before giving us Russell.
