sekou doumbouya does have a bounce to his game, and it doesn't look like his joints need wd40.

Got to think Brandon Clarke at 10 is a lock.

Can someone explain the Bol Bol fascination to me?

He’s a center in a guard league...he’s 7’2” and already has a foot injury on his resume that cost him a season...the best young prospect on our roster plays his position and you can’t play them together

I can’t remember being less interested in a lottery prospect. Hard, hard pass.

The idea of trading down might be a smoke screen.
Knicks may know that Pelicans want RJ in any AD deal but not committing to it now.
Perry's answer might be "hey listen this isnt gonna last long cause if you not trading AD im not holding on to 3rd pick"
