Yall think we gave up on Andrew Nicholson too soon? The last 4 years he's been averaging 25/8 on 55/45/80 splits

Either one

Cole, Bamba, and 8 for Collin Sexton and filler

Or

Cole, Chuma, Bamba, and 5 for Collin Sexton, 3 pick, and filler
No to both

it's a hard no.
Sexton as a player it's fine but we aren't In a position to consolidate the few asset's we have for him.

Nope. Plays in the Chinese league where anyone with talent or has been puts up a ton of points.

Example: Stephen marbury

Thought this trade was gonna be doozy when I saw it was magic getting Shai.....but... Damn.... I'd do it in a heart beat. Though I do believe the potential we are giving up is there.

You take SGA & run as fast as you can :lol:

Really lopsided trade.

We need to trade for this guy on draft night! WCJ and #8 pick for Poku seems legit.

why? he cant shoot, not good defender, rail thin (yes, you can eventually gain weight) i dont see anything special about him. no real position, he cant play center and isnt a defensive PF.

his pre-draft comparison was Dragan Bender. not a comparison i would want. force fed possessions on a bad team. no thanks, i would take BPA at 8.

My favorite show "Big Brother" is back starting July 7th Wednesday!!!

https://bigbrothernetwork.com/big-brother-23-cast/

The girls looking really good, I will probably root for all those girls especially Alyssa, Britini, Hannah, Sarah, Tiffany and Whitney. The guys my favorites are probably Brent, Derek Xiao, Xavier.

Why do we give up RJ Hampton for SGA? We do not need SGA, period. I like our own guys way better. Next season is going to be critical to our young players player development, with a new coach. I want to win but I know we may not win. But the young guys can develop and next year is important

Becase SGA is a certified star and about to leap into that tier-1 franchise star category. He probably would have already if not for the injury and OKC's direction for MOAR draft picks.

So regardless of who we draft I can say I am more excited about this upcoming season then any other Dwight left. Every player I really like and has some form of potential regardless who starts or comes off the bench and it’s going to be exciting. What are everyone’s thoughts?

basketballRob · Post #1717 » by **basketballRob** » Sun Jul 4, 2021 10:36 pm

It'll be interesting playing a season without AG, Vuc, and Fournier swallowing up 80% of the usage. Plus we get to look forward to Isaac being back. Hopefully the next coach plays everyone and rotates nights off.

I can't wait to see JI and Fultz back. I really think like NYK, we get just one quality allstar to add to this upcoming roster ( like a Randle ) we can push for a play-in spot.

Especially with just one freak injury can derail any team plans. Also, depending on how successful this draft is, you gotta think who are revving up the tank engines for the Banchero-Chet-Hardy-Holmgren-dark horse draft.

Everyone seems to say we are starting over I don’t really get it our stocks might be a little full. We need someone to take the some what star jump but we have a lot of lottery tickets to see if that might happen. Fultz is interesting because if he really has spent this whole year continuing to strengthen the shoulder as well as rehabbing the knee who knows. Nobody mentions Hampton even with his rookie of the month of may and came on strong. Not to mention Isaac Anthony the centers. We aren’t Detroit or Houston bad even with their good picks

Agreed. Personally I think with a star vet addition like what NYK did with Randle.. we probably are a PO team. Say like a Beal / cj / russ / ingram / ingles / even a Ben Sim for a #8 Harris cole/rj/ future picks and that team is a playin contender next season.

Thats my most optimistic scenario though.
