Happy about Fears...I was seriously considering him at 5, but he's a little bit less risky at 8. I think a lot is going to depend a lot on the situation he gets drafted into, but he should have been a high school senior this year and I think the shot and strength is going to come.

It really is crazy how much landing spot matters. It’s wild to see all of the “busts” who turn their career around after getting away from the team that drafted them

OKC somehow has nearly the exact same roster he started the off-season and ended up with like 8 extra 1st round picks.

Including the Indy 2026 1st for a team blowing it up.


With adding zero long term bad deals.

Absolutely hudini work.

Ok understandable. I remember posting Utah doing back flips when he saw the trade. You were probably cursing it out knowing you committed to this one lol
