He was great for OKC as a gun off the bench last year.

Their squad is unremarkable, and they have no assets to significantly improve the team. I'm not sold on KP and Richardson doesn't move the needle.

Luka's conditioning was always a question mark and he doesn't appear to be in great shape. He's arguably the most talented 21 year-old the game has ever seen with Bron and Kareem but I'm not convinced at all about his work ethic. He's a great player, but I don't think he's the next Larry Bird. In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if 5 years from now Trae Young is the better player.

I think the Mavs are a play-in tournament team with a real chance of missing the playoffs.

He was very cheap too. I was surprised at the package LA had to send.

If the Mavs was smart they should start Treyverson next to Luka. He’s their best scorer right now. But he’s not moving the needle for them also.

Luka is great and all but people over rate his impact. He’s not gonna carry these guys like he’s Lebron. And yeah, Trae can absolutely be better in due time. I’m still holding a massive L on Trae. Really thought he was gonna bust

I dont know man, if KD stays healthy and looks this good he can go at LeBron on a night to night basis.

I honestly didn't believe KD will look this good this early after that injury...its scary.

Richardson is a good fit and solid addition. Should see a nice bounce back year from him. Get another 3&D wing and let the Michigan bros rock off the bench where they belong.

As good as KD and Kyrie looks, outside of that team is not that great.

Lakers are just too deep right now imo. They’re so stacked they don’t even have enough minutes to play THT.

Now I’m hoping for Dallas to suck terribly this year and get two high lottery picks. I want one of Cade/Suggs with Jalen Green.


LOL am not ready yet to take a deeper dive into the prospects. Just too much disappointment from the past years. Hard to really like some guys and not be in the position to get them or the FO makes foolish decisions.

Anyone who did a little more than usual homework on Wiseman would now that he was clearly the best prospect in the last draft class.

Us after watching the Knicks get another 8th pick and missing out on the best talent in the draft

I think people fell into the “small sample size” mindset a bit too much when evaluating Wiseman. They thought his 3 jumpers in college wasn’t enough. That’s why I kept tryna show everyone footage from high school that he’s not some rim runner but I guess people were too attached to Mitch. Oh well. Now we can only hope Mitch starts to show something offensively this year.


We should have bought low on Wiseman. While it should have been obvious that he was the best prospect in the last draft class, it wasn’t the case. I mean he barely made it to the Top 3 on our board.

Taking on Wiggins’ contract, Mitch and the 8th pick was a small price to pay for Wiseman. At the very least RJ gets to have a guy to accompany him home to Ontario during breaks.

Porter Jr was such a miss for us, he's turning into a real good player. And we are left with Knox
