Already looking forward to summer league!

You think Fultz is a better fit for the triangle than Tatum?

You really wouldn’t go Bagley there?

Bagley and Bamba. Maybe JJJ. It’s tougher than thinking just Bagley though he’s definitely the best fit next to KP.

I'd definitely go Bagley at 3 he's definitely the best fit next to KP out of everyone else that's left.

When they finish rigging the lottery for the Knicks....

Philly and Boston going to be good for a while. Time for the league to hook up the Knicks and get that northeast power trio going again.

We're likely not getting that type of player this draft

We HAVE to!

KPs hurt, who knows what he'll be when he comes back and nobody else has Star potential.

Trae Young will have to fall into our laps for that to happen

You have to get up pretty early in the morning to out negative the person with a 82,000 out of 84,745 negative post count

Ayton - PHX
Doncic - NYK
Bagley - MEM
MPJ - DAL
JJJ - ATL
Bomba - CHI
Sexton - ORL
Carter - SAC
Trae - CLE
Mikal - PHI
Miles - CHA
SGA - LAC
Williams - LAC
Knox - DEN

If the NBA could rig it they would. the East with Philly, NY, and Boston at the top would be insane

Sadly the only way we get another lottery pick is with trading Frank.

Before the draft we were looking hard for a point guard. I think Ron Baker was the only pg on the roster. I don't know who Phil would have chosen but around here people were comparing Tatum to Melo in a negative way.

Then you had articles like these praising the Sixers and calling the Celtics losers:
