F$&$&$ it and to.think only a few months before a lifechanging event for them ( nba draft)

The Los Angeles Police Department told WKYT that Clarke was traveling at a high speed when he ran a red light and hit another car that was turning left. The car went on to hit a pole and a block wall. Police told the outlet that Clark was the only one in the car.

Thats awful . What happened to the driver he hit?

Maybe with our 2nd round pick, so we can stash him in Europe. In fact, our 2nd round pick should be used for a stash player this season.

I've always wondered why weltham never used the draft-n-stash tactic with some of our second rounders instead of selling them but i'm assuming it has something to do with capspace

This year, the Magic will need a 3rd string Big. The high SRP is perfect for that as said player will be literally win the cheapest existing NBA contract.

But the Boston SRPs when the are generated, draft-N-stash players would be perfect for both!

I'm getting sold on Moody with the Bulls pick. His 480 FTR is almost Zion like. That's coming from an 18 year old that shoots a lot of 3's.

3rd string big should be a veteran role model with a minimum salary, our frontcourt is pretty young (WCJ, Bamba, JI and Okeke), we need some veterans to guide them like when we had Tony Battie.

Francis Stanley Kaminsky III would be a fine choice. And that's not sarcasm.

If he slides that far, I would be thrilled (and outraged if the Magic passed him over).

Otherwise: Kispert has gotta be the guy.

What makes you choose Kispert over Wagner if we are talking about the SF and 3pt shooting only?

I have a feeling we will be using Bamba to either move up or package him into a deal to get a quality SF or ( my wild idea ) try to sign a B-tier star. Then yeah we might need a vet role-model big. However I prefer the SRP we have to draft a raw-ish big we can develop. One with 3pt range .

We can let them develop in Europe, that's my point.

There they would practice and play against pros, way better than sitting in the beach or playing in the G-League.

As for Bamba, I'd be happy to trade him to have a better pick in this draft, even if it's only a few spots.

You mean drafting those 18yr Euroleague kids? I thought Bigs like Garza and Huff where the develooment they need is just toughen uo cuz they havr the skillset we need ( shooting/offense)

I love Wagner's game and both have the intangibles one wants as a fan in a late lottery pick. Both are winners.

I like Kispert over Wagner mostly for positional need; I would rather see a combo-wing drafted than a combo-forward.

I am high on Josh Giddey. Would take him as high as 5. My ideal scenario is Cunningham + Giddey. What a burst of playmaking to this uncreative roster !
My money is on Banchero going number 1 !
