Wow Curry was outstanding for them last year and Richardson had a rough season. If Dallas gets the old Miami JR then it's a great deal for them.

Again, we badly need a superstar wing. I'm happy we are taking shots. It's almost a must-have in today's game.

Doc Rivers really wanted his son in law.

Richardson is a good fit for Dallas. I'm guessing Tyler Terry with take over Seth Curry's role.

My bet is that Austin ends up in Philly too

Rubio, while not a star, he's really solid. Quite underrated nowadays. It's important that playmaking responsabilities would be split between D-Lo and Rubio so that Edwards can only focus in scoring/shooting.

To give some context on Bolmaro. He's playing with the first team of the Euro league current LEADER, Barcelona. He's not playing many minutes cause he's in one of the best teams, but due to some injuries he had to play some point, though he's originally a 2 guard.
I don't know how playing for one of Europe best teams would compare to playing in Germany or 2nd division in Greece like some other Euro prospects. I think Bolmaro has the talent to develop into something really good. Time will tell, but having Prigioni there would definitely help his development.
Bolmaro is the kind of player that has geniuos in him -which doesn't mean he would be a good player in the NBA-. His highlights, while sometimes misleading are very promising. I think you really nailed this pick.

Thanks. I wanted McDaniel and Reed at 25-28 we ended up with Bolmaro and McDaniel at 23 and 28.

None. We ended up with 1-23-28. Edwards, Bolmaro and McDaniel. Got Ricky Rubio added in trade. That's what happened tonight.

Honestly, going from #1, #17, #23, and James Johnson to Anthony Edwards, Leandro Bolmaro, Jalen McDaniel, and Ricky Rubio feels like a pretty solid Draft, to me.

We still have MLE, BAE, and RFA on Jordan McLaughlin, Malik Beasley, Juancho Hernangómez, and Kelan Martin. Not bad at all.

I wonder we gonna pick up undrafted talents like we did with Naz Reid. Or we too stacked.

Yup. Little Curry is probably his best NBA comp too.

This, I get the disappointment over giving up 33 but you need to look at the draft holistically when evaluating how we've done tbh.

Loved James Johnson, sad to see him go.

An important thing to note is that we were NEVER brining in four rookies, and if you like a player, you don't risk losing them over a second round pick. That would be incredibly foolish, always invest in the talent you like the most.

I hope we get an excellent wing/PF to improve on Layman/Juancho, keep the RFAs,and tonight would been a good night.

Was just confusing following live how we trade down 8 spots, then use one of those picks to trade up mere 2 spots. Hope it works out in the long run.

P.S Rubio is big addition for winning basketball, but its not easy justifying 17-18m a year for backup PG.

Hopefully Scrubby goes undrafted and we can pick him up. Give him a two way to the Gleague since we're so loaded with guards.

Yep.

He might not start every game, but he's getting 25+ minutes and spending a lot of time in the backcourt with DLo

Need to get a vet combo-ish forward. Preferably one that can shoot. Could be mid level or maybe trade using Culver. I just don’t know who that’d be. Right now, our forwards won’t get it done.

If this season goes poorly, I would expect the entire front office and coaching staff to be gone. New owners usually want to bring in their own guys.

He will start full time? So Edwards off the bench or SF?
